Reading Tunnels Design Information in MineSched

It’s Tip Tuesday! Today’s post comes from Ivan Alvarez, one of our Technical Support Specialists.

The wait is finally over! GEOVIA MineSched™ 9.0 was released last month.

This latest version includes a lot of new features that make work easier for users. One of these new features is the ability to read tunnels design information directly from a GEOVIA GEMS™ Project. This saves valuable time as GEMS clients can now work directly in MineSched and eliminates the previous step of transforming the tunnel data to GEOVIA Surpac™ format.

If you are using GEMS Desktop with Access Data Bases, to start using this feature, please install MineSched 9.0 32 bit and follow the instructions:

  1. Open MineSched 9.0 and press the ADD button to upload a Block Model from the GEMS project selecting the .gpr file.
    Clicking the option to add a block model to the project.
  2. Once the model is loaded and the parameters configured, select the SETUP DEVELOPMENT Tab and press the LOAD DESIGN button.
    Clicking the option to load a tunnel design to MineSched.
  3. Select the .gpr file of the GEMS project and the Tunnel Workspace with the information that you want to load.
    Left: Selecting the .gpr file. Right: Selecting the Tunnel WorkSpace.
  4. After mapping the columns, press OK to finish the process.
    Mapping the columns to import correctly.
  5. Finally, you are able to see and modify the tunnel information.
    Final view of tunnels design.

By following these steps, you will now be able to read tunnels design information directly from a GEMS Project while in MineSched.
