A. Parameters
Once the simulation module enabled, a window opens on the tab « Settings » \ « Bench Hole”
a) Bench and Hole
In this tab you can change the loading pattern, the bench geometry.
Here is an example of a bench set :
Loading tempaltes available are those you created previously for the selected site. Selection is made through a drop down menu. To create a loading template, please refer to II-C User Manual Vol. 1 : Design a blast

b) Geology
Click on « Geology » to define the geology you want for your blast simulation.
By default, no fracture was recorded in your bench geology. It is however possible here to define
one by choosing a global dip and then determinate banks spacing and measured orientation if
necessary.
You can select a default geology or a pre-defined one (geology defined previously by yourself). But you might as well set a new geology by completing the fields. CAUTION: Changes applied will be done only for the « one hole simulation » and will NOT be applied to the site. To change the geology of a site, please refer to III-E User’s Manual – Vol 1 – Design a blast.
Once the general direction of your dip defined, you can fill the selected fileds: - Altitude : height of the foregead from which the fracture begins - Angle : real dip fracturing class - Thickness : spacing between the fractures
Multiple dip is a specifice type, in this one you will be allow to manage two fractures class at the same time.

B. Fragmentation analysis
a) Analysis launching
Once the front hole, loading, geology and fracturing (if any) defined, you can proceed to
the simulation of fragmentation by clicking on the button "Analyze" tab "Bench Hole" .
A loading bar appears in the status bar of the window to indicate the level of
progress of the analysis.

b) Details of the fragmentation
Once the calculation is finished, you can see an overview of the distribution graph of
fragmentation.
Graph for which data are available in the tab “fragmentation”
The data in the table are the raw results of the simulation.
They allow you to read, for a given size range distribution, the percentage of passingand percentage of passers cumulated from this size.

II. Comparison of simulations
A. Saving simulation results
Once the simulation is completed, you can save it from the tab « Settings » with a simple drag and drop of the graphic into the white cartridge at the bottom of the window.
A thumbnail will appear with an identifying number.
This way you can run simulations by varying your settings (bench, loading, geology,…) and save each og them to compare them « in fine ».

C. Comparison of results saved
Once the desired backups made and stored, you can compare them. In order, select the settings that you can achieve your fragmentation distribution goals.
To do so, start by selecting the results you want (minimum two), and click “ compare” at the bottom right of the window.
By clicking the « Compare » button, you enter in the comparison tab (accessible only by this operation).
To make a multiple selection, you can use the CTRL or SHIFT keys on your keyboard while selecting the thumbnails using the right click of your mouse.
In the left graph is the set of distribution curves corrected. The identification number established when the results of each backup, you can find information about this simulation in the table at right.
The right panel allows you to view settings and bench parameters and also the summary of the fragmentation results.
Selecting a row in this table will result in targeting the distribution curve corrected related to selected outcomes.
