StopeX boasts a very sleek and easy-to-navigate user interface with real time helps. Why use StopeX? What are the advantages of using StopeX? StopeX includes provisions for in-situ stress conditions, FLAC3D solving parameters, meshing preferences and up to 10 isotropic or anisotropic rock mass domains. StopeX uses ordinary, and often readily available, mine geometries (stope shapes, development solids, topographies, historical mining, and backfill) to create a FLAC3D model for the user.

StopeX was primarily developed as a plug-in software to FLAC3D which helps to lessen difficulty and decrease time taken in numerical modelling for beginner to intermediate users. However, numerical modelling is often considered ‘too difficult’ or ‘time consuming’ and is therefore generally left to specialist consultants with many years of modelling experience. These modelling analyses are generally inexpensive relative to the financial benefits that they bring to a mine. Advanced modelling techniques have been used to improve mine performance through optimising various aspects of an underground mine such as pillar and stope sizes, mining sequence and controlling dilution and mining induced seismicity. Numerical modelling can help mining companies and consultants to predict rock mass behaviour, understand and predict rock damage, and appreciate the interactions between neighbouring pieces of development. Currently, it is being implemented spasmodically in the geotechnical engineering field to assist in mine design, mine planning and geotechnical design. FAQ What is advanced numerical modelling and why is it relevant to the mining industry?Īdvanced numerical modelling is reasonably new to the mining industry.
