Whittle will not be replaced. It remains part of our strategic planning solution family, and we continue releasing new versions. For example, Whittle 2026 will support OMF import and MBL export, improving interoperability.
Pit Optimizer and Strategic Mine Planner are not replacements, they represent a new generation of solutions built for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with new optimization engines and stronger integration with design workflows.
