In this article, Engineering News highlights the Tailings Digital Platform (“The Insights Platform”) - a collaborative solution from GEOVIA and Insight Terra that brings together real-time monitoring, engineering models, AI-powered workflows, and GISTM assurance to create a connected, living virtual twin for safer, smarter tailings management. The article also mentioned the webinar hosted by GEOVIA and Insight Terra, which is available on demand. Read the article: 👉 Platform Centralises

Mixing Parameters

Hi guys, I have been considering whether there are identifiable correlations and sensitivities between the various cave-mixing parameters and their downstream impact on the production schedule. For example, if we increase the Mixing Horizon, which other parameters or model behaviours are consequently affected, and how does this ultimately influence the scheduled tonnes, grade, dilution, recovery, and timing of draw? I am also interested in understanding whether similar relationships exist within

💻 A geologist sits in a remote camp, waiting on drill files stuck on a USB drive that left site two days ago. 🧏🏻‍♀️ Sound familiar? Fragmented data is a hidden cost in exploration. Every hour spent chasing the right file is an hour not spent interpreting geology. 💪🏻 Connecting GEOVIA Surpac with the 3DEXPERIENCEplatform gives you one source of truth: 📌 Less time managing files 📌 Faster drilling to interpretation 📌 Less rework across teams 📌 More confidence in resource estimates ✨ For junior

Generate RBF Surface from SDM file

Use Case DescriptionThis TCL macro creates a 3D geogical or terrain mesh from point data stored in a Surpac SDM file. It is intended for users who need to convert scattered XYZ coordinates into a regular interpolated surface that can be visualised and used within Surpac. The workflow begins with a Guido form, which allows the user to select the input and output SDM files, choose an interpolation method and kernel, define the grid cell size and model extents, and decide whether the completed mesh

Create Thickness of a Solid

Use Case DescriptionThis script was generated to provide the ability to calculate the thickness of a solid, it will output a string file in text format with the thickness on each ray trace. The function is designed to be used with the Create Best Fit Trend Surface script as it requires a trend surface to inform the orientation of the ray traces. The ray traces measure the intersection points and calculate a thickness based on these intersects. The output can then be used as a visual

Create Best Fit Trend Surface

Use Case DescriptionThis script was generated to provide the ability to create a best fit trend surface from an input solid. This trend surface can then be used to create dip and dip direction information for use in dynamic anisotropy within resource estimation workflows. It should be noted that this tool seeks to create a general trend rather than a precise mid-plane of a solid. As such the position may not lie exactly at the mid point of the solid. CapabilityThe script works by firstly

Getting a thickness value from a wireframe solid

Hi all, does anyone know how to get a thickness attribute in a wireframe solid? I basically want to get an average thickness for a set of wireframes... in othere software I would create a block model with a variable z cell size, I will fill the wireframes with the blocks (correctly rotated etc) and the cell height measurement would then be the thickness... how do I get something similar in Surpac?

Path limitation in Inverse Distance

Hi, I spotted this on Surpac 2025 Refresh2 as well as Surpac 2026: when running Block model > Estimation > Inverse Distance, the "Model name" input field is not large enough to receive a standard path ... as a consequence the model file is not found. Renaming the block model file (to shorten the filename) fixes the issue: The model file paths are: E:\Surpac\DatasetViragoSmallIDW\virago_small_attribute_compression.mdl (not working) E:\Surpac\DatasetViragoSmallIDW\m.mdl (working)
