[GEOVIA] Pit Optimizer

Functional Value

1. Find the optimal strategy (maximize Net Present Value) of a surface mine through the determination of the ultimate pit and practical pushback phases


2. Define multiple scenarios and sets of input parameters to generate multiple results , allowing more comprehensive assessment and enhanced decision making in finding the most robust strategic mine plan


3. Collaborate upstream with the Strategic Resource Modeling process to consume block models of unlimited size and publish pit and pushback phases for seamless downstream integration with the Strategic Mine Design process

User Experience Value

1. Dedicated packaging of 3DEXPERIENCE applications to fully enable pit optimization for surface mines


2. Validate results through a user-friendly viewer with rapid refresh rates (50x faster than desktop solutions) to evaluate the integrity and practicality of planned mining phases
