DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Introduction to Deswik.GO What is Deswik.GO? Strategic, long-term planning tool which addresses Ultimate Pit Analysis, Pushback Analysis, Scheduling and Economic Analysis for open pit mine production scheduling. Deswik.GO finds a mathematically optimal solution for a given number of constraints using mixed-integer programming to maximize NPV. Deswik.GO is developed in partnership with Alicanto labs from the University Adolfo Ibañez in Chile.

What can I do with Deswik.GO? Deswik.GO has three project types to choose from. l

Full design: This is the default option. Direct block scheduling (DBS) for strategic design (pit design). Project setup includes steps for DBS and design of mining phases.

l

Existing phase design: Phase-bench optimization (PBS) for creating strategic schedules. Project will import existing phase designs.

l

Fixed extraction sequence: Fixed extraction sequence (FES) for destination only decisions. Project will use a fixed mining sequence for optimization of destinations.

Deswik.GO solvers Deswik.GO has two main solver engines. l

Alicanto Scheduler: o

This solver is developed by Alicanto labs from the University Adolfo Ibañez and uses the BienstockZuckerberg (B-Z) algorithm for linear relaxation of the MILP. This solver allows large problems to be solved in a reasonable amount of time.

l

Deswik General solver: o

This solver is developed in house and uses CPLEX as the main engine.

Solution options The solution options available change depending on the Deswik.GO project type selected.

For more information on how Deswik.GO solves large complex problems efficiently, please contact your local Deswik office.

Recent Enhancements Block aggregation We added in the option to aggregate blocks together upon import of the block model. This allows the user to process a project in a lesser amount of time, as the number of decision variables are greatly reduced.

7

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Group dependencies Group dependencies allows the user to create dependencies between arbitrary groups of blocks in the model. This makes it possible to ensure that one part of the deposit is completely mined before another can start.

Release Date Release dates let the user specify the earliest date a block can be mined. This is useful for delaying areas where infrastructure needs to be moved or permits need to be acquired.

Open Cut Coal Deswik.Blend

 If you have previously installed a beta version, you should uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch.

Enhancements and modifications l

Blend | Rules and Constraints | Flow Constraints We have change the behavior of the Carry Over check box. Only 'soft' constraints are now supported. 'Hard' and 'soft' constraints are controlled by the corresponding constraint record in the Flow Constraint Penalties tab. Select the Use check box if you want to treat the constraint as 'soft'.

 The Carry Over check box will clear if you change from 'soft' to 'hard' constraints. Subsequent change of a constraint from 'hard' to 'soft' will require re-selection of the Carry Over check box.

New commands and features l

Edit menu: o

Edit | Filters | Remove From Selected Layer: Previously, the only way to remove a filter from a layer was to manually from the dropdown list on the toolbar or in the Filter menu. Now you can perform this action by clicking a single button on the Filters toolbar. This means that this command can now also be run from a process map.

o

Edit | Legends | Remove From Selected Layer: Previously, the only way to remove a legend from a layer was to manually from the dropdown list on the toolbar or in the Legend menu. Now you can perform this action by clicking a single button on the Legends toolbar. This means that this command can now also be run from a process map.

l

General: o

As part of the startup process, Deswik.CAD will now check your hard drive to ensure that you have enough disk space (minimum 10gB). If it does not, a warning will appear, and you will be given the option of clearing your temporary directory or letting Deswik.CAD do it for you. You will not be able to continue to use Deswik.CAD until you clear enough space.

o

When Deswik.CAD is running, the Deswik.CAD icon is visible on the Task bar. As of 2021.1, if you right-click the icon, you will see a list of documents recently opened, as well as two commands: n

Copy Path To Clipboard: Copy the directory name of the current file, not including the file name itself.

12

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

n

l

Copy Full Path To Clipboard: Copy the full directory and name of the current file.

Modify menu: o

Modify | Polylines | Break | By Azimuth: Break a polyline at each node where the segments sharing that node differ in azimuth by more than a specified value.

l

Process maps: o

Create Layers: Previously when creating layers from a process map, you could only manage the attributes on a layer. Now you can also manage layer properties (such as the lock status of a layer, node back color, color of entities on a layer), as well as layer icons.

o

Dragline & Dozer Section Settings: Store dragline and dozer section settings from an existing project on a node in process map, so they can then be applied to a new project.

o

Maintain Node Status In Document: In version 2020.1, we introduced the concept of maintaining the node status in a process map. This meant that if you had partially run a process, you would automatically pick up where you left off after saving your document. Now this behavior is governed by a new toggle command called Maintain Node Status In Document in the Deswik Process Map Editor. Toggle it on in a process map to maintain the node status, that is, pick up where you left off when you open a document. Toggle it off if you prefer to reset the process map back (marking each node as Incomplete) each time the document is opened.

13

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 This feature has also been added to all versions of Deswik.Suite from 2020.1 onward. l

Tools menu: o

Tools | Blocks | Export Block To File: Previously, if you wanted to return a block to its 'original form' (that is, convert it from an INSERT entity back to its original components such as polylines, text, block text and so on) you had to explode the block, then write it to a block file. Now you can use the new Export Block To File command to do this automatically for you.

 Use this command if you no longer have the original source file.

o

Tools | Blocks | Remove Selected Blocks: Remove selected block files from the active file.

14

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 Previously, if you wanted to remove unused blocks from the active file, you had to remove all of them using the Remove Unused Blocks command. This new command gives you the choice of which blocks to remove. o

Tools | Geological Models | Convert Block Model: The Tools | Geological Models | Datamine | Convert From Other and Tools | Geological Models | Deswik | Convert From Other commands have been combined into a single command (which is now located one level up in the Tools menu). Use this new command to create either a block geomodel (*.gmdlb) or a Datamine block model (*.dm) file from an existing block model file from other software packages.

o

Tools | Keep Presentation Coloring: Ordinarily, the true color of the entity would be restored when a legend is removed. This new command will update the pen color of entities permanently to their legend color, so it cannot be removed.

o

Tools | Survey | Extract Toes And Crests: Deswik.AdvSurvey users; Automatically generate toe and crest polylines from a surface.

Enhancements and modifications l

File menu: o

File | Export | ArcGIC Shape File: Use the new Coordinate Reference System field to specify a standard coordinate reference system that defines the geographic location of the data being exported. As part of the export process, a *.prj file will be created (with the same name as the active file name). These files can be

Tools | Point Cloud | Modify: Deswik.AdvSurvey users; This command now provides the option of applying four different dynamic filters for real-time feedback of the points to be edited.

 The dynamic filters of this command require appropriate Windows TDR settings to function. These settings control the point at which Windows considers the graphics driver to be unresponsive and close the application. To avoid this, the TdrDelay setting in the registry must be modified from the default 2 seconds to at least 30 seconds. If you attempt to use the dynamic filters and your current settings are inadequate, a warning will appear.

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

CAD-48510 (*.duf files): When loading DUF files from newer Deswik.CAD versions into older ones, some entity fields may not be recognized in the older version because they did not exist at the time that version was created. Such data is stored as 'unsupported data' against the entity so that it is not lost when saved back to DUF. However, this can cause problems if the data is saved to other formats (such as VDML, VDCL, or DCF) because their serializers may not be able to serialize the data correctly (or at all) for anything beyond simple data types. Additionally, there may be no sign that a problem has occurred during the save and only on next opening the file will it fail. This issue potentially affects all versions from 2020.1 to 2021.2. It has been fixed as of the following versions: 2020.1.1182, 2020.2.1078, 2020.3.970, 2021.1.816, and 2021.2.505. Problematic data is no longer included when saving to non-DUF formats.

l

CAD-48809 (*.duf files): Two bug fixes.

22

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o

The serializer used in versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 had a fault relating to serializing dwPolyline VerticiesProperties (IndexedXProperties) with null property values. This fault occurred during serialization (saving) of the file and manifested during deserialization (loading). The corrupt files themselves are not easily fixable, but the fault itself has been resolved as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30. The software will no longer produce corrupt files that cannot be opened.

 This fix does not allow files that were corrupted to be loaded without the error. The fix prevents the file corruption from happening in the first place. o

Versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 used a different approach to threading and resource management that could result in thread synchronization and memory usage issues (among others). As of versions as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30, DUF threading and resource management has been re-engineered to address these issues

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): As of 2021.1, this command will not generate valid results with some specific input. This issue has been resolved in version 2021.286 with an upgrade to the 3rd party library Mesh.

l

CAD-48603 (Process maps | Layers): In affected versions of Deswik.CAD, when creating a new process map, when you add your first new process map layer, it is being assigned the same ID (internally) as the existing default layer, resulting in the two layers being 'joined'. This causes issues with visibility as well as entities on the original layer being deleted. This issue has been resolved. However, the following versions were affected: From

To

2020.1.908

2020.1.1069

2020.2.664

2020.2.905

2020.3.473

2020.3.731

2021.1.157

2021.1.503

If you are using an affected version, you can work around this issue when creating a new process map by just saving it immediately (that is, save it blank, with just the default layer (Layer 1)). Then reopen it. There will be no further issues. If you have already created a process map and have the duplicate layers in your document, deleting the duplicate layers and continuing to work in the process map will not solve the problem. You will need to do the following: 1. Create a new layer. This is where you will put everything from your duplicated layers. 2. Isolate the entities on the duplicate layer pair in the Design Space (all other entities should be hidden). 3. Now you have two options:

23

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

a. If visible objects do not include links o

, then:

Select all the visible objects, remove them from the duplicate layers, and put them on the new layer (by clearing the check boxes for the duplicate layers in the Layers selected items are on window, and then selecting the check box for the new layer).

b. If visible objects include links

, then you cannot currently mark them as being on another layer. You

will need to select all the entities, cut them, then make the new layer active and paste them in place on that layer.

 The inability to mark links as being on other layers is another bug that is currently in the process of being fixed. 4. Delete the duplicate layer pair. 5. Save your process map, close it, and reload. The file is now fixed and will not exhibit the duplicate layer behavior.

 If you have any Display Process Map Layer commands in your process map that reference one of the deleted layer names, you will need to remap these to the new layer name (or you can just rename the new layer to the old layer name).

 Not sure if you have a duplicate layer issue? Test by turning on the One layer view mode and iterate through all the layers. If you are able to select two checkboxes at the same time (which should not be possible), then you have a duplicate layer problem.

Known Issues And Workarounds l

Point Cloud Filtering: o

Point Cloud filtering on very large data sets, or on systems with low performance graphics cards can sometimes cause "TDR" crashes when the system runs out of resources (you will see a TDR error in a message box on-screen and need to close and-reopen Deswik.CAD).

o

For systems with a dedicated GPU, the Point Cloud Dynamic Statistical Outlier filter limits the maximum neighbor count based on available graphics memory.

24

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l

CAD-46312 (Modify | Polylines | Label | Selection: The internal label order in DUFv4 files across versions 2019.2 to 2020.1 is not compatible, resulting in incorrect labels displaying. To workaround, this issue: o

Moving forward from 2019.2 to 2020.1+: Save your file model as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2019.2. then open in 2020.1+ and save as DUFv4.

o

Moving backward from 2020.1+ to 2019.2: Save your file as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2020.1+. then open in 2019.2 and save as DUFv4.

l

CAD-45000 (Point Clouds): Point clouds saved in versions 2019.3 and higher cannot be opened in 2019.2 and earlier. In addition, point clouds saved in 2019.2 and earlier do not support RGB and various attributes, whereas point clouds saved in 2019.3+ do.

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): Our development team are investigating an issue with Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids, which affects a single test case only, where the command produces unexpected results for that particular data set.

l

CAD-46450 (Modify | Solids | Cut | Block And Benches): If you are running this command from a process map, Deswik.CAD will not write Block attribute values when using multi-threaded processing. Instead it will write null values.

To work around this issue: 1. Clear the Multi-threaded processing check box in the EDIT NODE dialog box in the process map.

OR 2. If multi-threading is required, run the command from the Modify menu instead. l

CAD-48348 (ORTHO mode): When drawing a vertical line in ORTHO mode, the cursor is visible, but no polyline is drawn. This issue is also occurring in 2020.3. It is not resolved until 2021.2.

l

CAD-48259 (Application disappears): There is a bug in Deswik.CAD (and likely other applications in Deswik.Suite), where the application intermittently disappears as a result of heap corruption. The issue relates to a folder browser dialog supplied by a third party (DevExpress). This issue was introduced in 2020.3.105+, following changes to swap out an old folder browser control with a DevExpress folder browser. This issue is not yet resolved.

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Deswik.Enviro

 If you have previously installed a beta version, you should uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch.

New commands and features l

Catchment Analysis | Catchment outputs: o

Add stream order: You can now classify streams and tributaries by assigning an optional 'stream order' attribute to indicate the branching complexity. Values are based on a numeric ordering of the flow polylines, and can be generated using either the Strahler Order or the Shreve order, two of the most common stream complexity measures.

o

Coloring method: Previously, all drainage flow polylines were the same light blue color. Now you can color the output flow lines in a blue gradient color scheme based on either the 'stream order' attribute or on the number of the catchment they belong to.

 The Catchment outputs tab has also undergone a redesign to accommodate these new options.

26

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Deswik.LHS

 If you have previously installed a beta version, you should uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch.

New commands and features l

Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Material Ratios: We have added a new tab, Material Ratios. Use this tab to apply material ratio limits to material being added to dump blocks.

 Limits can be applied to loose volume, bank volume, or mass.

l

Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Processing parameters: We have added a new check box, Use legacy pathfinder algorithm. You can now select which Deswik.LHS engine to use to process your scenarios.

28

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

When you select this check box you will process your scenario with the legacy LHS engine that is used by CAD LHS (LHS1). This is the default option. When you clear this check box you will use the 'new' pathfinder engine for CAD LHS (LHS3). This is the same pathfinder engine that is used when running LHS from Deswik.Sched Resource leveler and Deswik.Blend. The new pathfinder engine for CAD LHS (LHS3): o

Enables the use of a simplified, segmented haul network. n

Haul roads no longer need to be continuous polylines to enable haulage from a source to a destination.

n

The network can consist of many segments with unique ID's.

n

Connections between segments are found when segment points are snapped to each other; the segments must have coincident points. A break in the network will still result in overflow.

o

Reduces processing time for Minimize Cycle Time solution strategies. n

Minimize Cycle Time and Minimize Distance now take the same amount of time to process.

 The following scenario options are not currently supported in the new pathfinder algorithm: l

Multiple schedule source files

Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Period variation: We have added additional time slicing for period variation boundaries, to support greater levels of detail in LHS processing and reporting. LHS will now automatically insert additional scenario time slices on each period variation time boundary. For example, when a monthly period variation with a default period offset is used, then a time slice will be added on the 1st of every month when processing the scenario.

These time slices will operate in parallel with any existing time slices that have been setup in the Time slicing options on the Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Files tab. The result of these time slices will be to introduce additional detail in the reporting. This can be easily seen in a detailed dump report, where LHS will split any mining operation that crosses a time slice boundary and process each portion of the mining task independently. For example, a single task that crosses a monthly boundary gets split into two separate portions on either side of the boundary.

Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Dumps: We now support dump dependency lags from both Deswik.Sched and .exf dump dependency inputs in LHS processing. Only 'Finish-Start' lags are supported. There will be a log warnings for unsupported dependency types. For example 'Finish-Finish', 'Start-Start', etc. or negative lags.

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

Due to the changes to pro-rating the dump operations, the period variations has been impacted and the way period variations is processed has now changed. During LHS processing, mining task will now be pre-sliced according to the period variations, meaning if the mining task spans two period variation periods, there will now be two mining operations created. Consequently, there will be more dumping operations.

l

LHS-2978: When running LHS with a Deswik Blender Scheduler source schedule, flow tasks originating from a task with multiple resources will now be divided by distribution dates as well as resource to make sure that the resource assignment respects distribution dates.

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

Previously, during resource leveling, blocking tasks were checked against all other tasks in the group, including tasks which were not yet available for work. This created situations where some tasks would never be leveled. Now, only tasks in the available task list are considered by the leveler and associated rules during each leveling iteration. This change may cause a minor difference in the schedule finish date for current schedules that use blocking tasks.

l

SCHED-19865: Previously when reporting on multiple quantity limits that had the same production field, source filter and resource, then the limit values were added together. This would result in incorrect reporting. Now, each limit is reported separately.

Alphanumeric hole numbering by echelon: Previously, in a pattern of holes, there was no option to apply hole numbering according to the diagonal rows in the pattern. Now, you can configure a hole template to produce a drill pattern with alphanumeric hole numbering where each hole in the diagonal row has the same number. o

Drill Pattern Manager | Hole Templates: To configure hole numbering by echelon, select the By echelon check box in the relevant hole template.

 In the following examples, we generated the same contoured pattern with alphanumeric hole ID numbering . The first pattern shows the hole numbering follows the contour without adjustment for holes on the diagonal. The second pattern shows the hole numbering for holes on the diagonal have the same number, allowing you to isolate or reference a section of the pattern at a line of diagonal holes.

Lock dip while adjusting azimuth: Previously, when adjusting holes around faults, endwalls, and other features, it was necessary to enter the dip and azimuth directly. Now, you can lock the current dip of a hole, and manually rotate the hole in the Model Space. o

Drill Pattern Manager | Modify existing holes | Hole anchor point: With this setting enabled, when you select the non-anchored hole grip point in the Model Space, the movement of the hole is limited so that only the azimuth can be modified.

 In the following example, the dip is set to 10° and the hole is anchored at the collar point. When we move the toe grip, the 'leader' line gives an indication of the placement of the hole as we adjust the hole azimuth in the Model Space (the leader line of the hole points to the cursor but will not reach it or go past it due to the dip restriction).

54

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 In addition, as part of improvements to the movement of holes in the Model Space, holes are prevented from being placed in an invalid position. In the following example, you can see that holes appear red in the Model Space when you attempt to move the hole to an invalid location.

55

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l

Variable hole spacing: Instead of using a fixed hole spacing distance, you can now automate the adjustment of hole spacing in grid patterns to a specific powder factor, where depth variations occur between the collar and toe surfaces. This enhancement is available when you create a pattern of holes within a design boundary, and when you create a pattern using pit alignment and front limit. The Advanced options tab on the ADD GRID PATTERN and CREATE A PATTERN USING PIT ALIGNMENT AND FRONT LIMIT dialog boxes now include the option to select Variable hole spacing. Select an option to determine the sampling depth to use across the pattern (minimum, average, or maximum), enter the stemming depth, average explosive density, and powder factor values.

In the following example, we have generated a pattern of holes using variable hole spacing to adjust the distance between holes where the depth from collar to toe changes.

When we measure the distance between holes where the depth varies, you can see the adjustment has been calculated automatically.

56

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

CAD-48510 (*.duf files): When loading DUF files from newer Deswik.CAD versions into older ones, some entity fields may not be recognized in the older version because they did not exist at the time that version was created. Such data is stored as 'unsupported data' against the entity so that it is not lost when saved back to DUF. However, this can cause problems if the data is saved to other formats (such as VDML, VDCL, or DCF) because their serializers may not be able to serialize the data correctly (or at all) for anything beyond simple data types. Additionally, there may be no sign that a problem has occurred during the save and only on next opening the file will it fail. This issue potentially affects all versions from 2020.1 to 2021.2. It has been fixed as of the following versions: 2020.1.1182, 2020.2.1078, 2020.3.970, 2021.1.816, and 2021.2.505. Problematic data is no longer included when saving to non-DUF formats.

l

CAD-48809 (*.duf files): Two bug fixes.

70

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o

The serializer used in versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 had a fault relating to serializing dwPolyline VerticiesProperties (IndexedXProperties) with null property values. This fault occurred during serialization (saving) of the file and manifested during deserialization (loading). The corrupt files themselves are not easily fixable, but the fault itself has been resolved as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30. The software will no longer produce corrupt files that cannot be opened.

 This fix does not allow files that were corrupted to be loaded without the error. The fix prevents the file corruption from happening in the first place. o

Versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 used a different approach to threading and resource management that could result in thread synchronization and memory usage issues (among others). As of versions as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30, DUF threading and resource management has been re-engineered to address these issues

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): As of 2021.1, this command will not generate valid results with some specific input. This issue has been resolved in version 2021.286 with an upgrade to the 3rd party library Mesh.

l

CAD-48603 (Process maps | Layers): In affected versions of Deswik.CAD, when creating a new process map, when you add your first new process map layer, it is being assigned the same ID (internally) as the existing default layer, resulting in the two layers being 'joined'. This causes issues with visibility as well as entities on the original layer being deleted. This issue has been resolved. However, the following versions were affected: From

To

2020.1.908

2020.1.1069

2020.2.664

2020.2.905

2020.3.473

2020.3.731

2021.1.157

2021.1.503

If you are using an affected version, you can work around this issue when creating a new process map by just saving it immediately (that is, save it blank, with just the default layer (Layer 1)). Then reopen it. There will be no further issues. If you have already created a process map and have the duplicate layers in your document, deleting the duplicate layers and continuing to work in the process map will not solve the problem. You will need to do the following: 1. Create a new layer. This is where you will put everything from your duplicated layers. 2. Isolate the entities on the duplicate layer pair in the Design Space (all other entities should be hidden). 3. Now you have two options:

71

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

a. If visible objects do not include links o

, then:

Select all the visible objects, remove them from the duplicate layers, and put them on the new layer (by clearing the check boxes for the duplicate layers in the Layers selected items are on window, and then selecting the check box for the new layer).

b. If visible objects include links

, then you cannot currently mark them as being on another layer. You

will need to select all the entities, cut them, then make the new layer active and paste them in place on that layer.

 The inability to mark links as being on other layers is another bug that is currently in the process of being fixed. 4. Delete the duplicate layer pair. 5. Save your process map, close it, and reload. The file is now fixed and will not exhibit the duplicate layer behavior.

 If you have any Display Process Map Layer commands in your process map that reference one of the deleted layer names, you will need to remap these to the new layer name (or you can just rename the new layer to the old layer name).

 Not sure if you have a duplicate layer issue? Test by turning on the One layer view mode and iterate through all the layers. If you are able to select two checkboxes at the same time (which should not be possible), then you have a duplicate layer problem.

Known Issues And Workarounds l

Point Cloud Filtering: o

Point Cloud filtering on very large data sets, or on systems with low performance graphics cards can sometimes cause "TDR" crashes when the system runs out of resources (you will see a TDR error in a message box on-screen and need to close and-reopen Deswik.CAD).

o

For systems with a dedicated GPU, the Point Cloud Dynamic Statistical Outlier filter limits the maximum neighbor count based on available graphics memory.

CAD-46312 (Modify | Polylines | Label | Selection: The internal label order in DUFv4 files across versions 2019.2 to 2020.1 is not compatible, resulting in incorrect labels displaying. To workaround, this issue: o

Moving forward from 2019.2 to 2020.1+: Save your file model as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2019.2. then open in 2020.1+ and save as DUFv4.

o

Moving backward from 2020.1+ to 2019.2: Save your file as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2020.1+. then open in 2019.2 and save as DUFv4.

l

CAD-45000 (Point Clouds): Point clouds saved in versions 2019.3 and higher cannot be opened in 2019.2 and earlier. In addition, point clouds saved in 2019.2 and earlier do not support RGB and various attributes, whereas point clouds saved in 2019.3+ do.

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): Our development team are investigating an issue with Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids, which affects a single test case only, where the command produces unexpected results for that particular data set.

l

CAD-46450 (Modify | Solids | Cut | Block And Benches): If you are running this command from a process map, Deswik.CAD will not write Block attribute values when using multi-threaded processing. Instead it will write null values.

To work around this issue: 1. Clear the Multi-threaded processing check box in the EDIT NODE dialog box in the process map.

OR 2. If multi-threading is required, run the command from the Modify menu instead. l

CAD-48348 (ORTHO mode): When drawing a vertical line in ORTHO mode, the cursor is visible, but no polyline is drawn. This issue is also occurring in 2020.3. It is not resolved until 2021.2.

l

CAD-48259 (Application disappears): There is a bug in Deswik.CAD (and likely other applications in Deswik.Suite), where the application intermittently disappears as a result of heap corruption. The issue relates to a folder browser dialog supplied by a third party (DevExpress). This issue was introduced in 2020.3.105+, following changes to swap out an old folder browser control with a DevExpress folder browser. This issue is not yet resolved.

Catchment Analysis | Catchment outputs: o

Add stream order: You can now classify streams and tributaries by assigning an optional 'stream order' attribute to indicate the branching complexity. Values are based on a numeric ordering of the flow polylines, and can be generated using either the Strahler Order or the Shreve order, two of the most common stream complexity measures.

o

Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Processing parameters: We have added a new check box, Use legacy pathfinder algorithm. You can now select which Deswik.LHS engine to use to process your scenarios.

79

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

When you select this check box you will process your scenario with the legacy LHS engine that is used by CAD LHS (LHS1). This is the default option. When you clear this check box you will use the 'new' pathfinder engine for CAD LHS (LHS3). This is the same pathfinder engine that is used when running LHS from Deswik.Sched Resource leveler and Deswik.Blend. The new pathfinder engine for CAD LHS (LHS3): o

Enables the use of a simplified, segmented haul network. n

Haul roads no longer need to be continuous polylines to enable haulage from a source to a destination.

n

The network can consist of many segments with unique ID's.

n

Connections between segments are found when segment points are snapped to each other; the segments must have coincident points. A break in the network will still result in overflow.

o

Reduces processing time for Minimize Cycle Time solution strategies. n

Minimize Cycle Time and Minimize Distance now take the same amount of time to process.

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l

Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Period variation: We have added additional time slicing for period variation boundaries, to support greater levels of detail in LHS processing and reporting. LHS will now automatically insert additional scenario time slices on each period variation time boundary. For example, when a monthly period variation with a default period offset is used, then a time slice will be added on the 1st of every month when processing the scenario.

These time slices will operate in parallel with any existing time slices that have been setup in the Time slicing options on the Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Files tab. The result of these time slices will be to introduce additional detail in the reporting. This can be easily seen in a detailed dump report, where LHS will split any mining operation that crosses a time slice boundary and process each portion of the mining task independently. For example, a single task that crosses a monthly boundary gets split into two separate portions on either side of the boundary.

Dump Scheduling | Scenarios | Dumps: We now support dump dependency lags from both Deswik.Sched and .exf dump dependency inputs in LHS processing. Only 'Finish-Start' lags are supported. There will be a log warnings for unsupported dependency types. For example 'Finish-Finish', 'Start-Start', etc. or negative lags.

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

Due to the changes to pro-rating the dump operations, the period variations has been impacted and the way period variations is processed has now changed. During LHS processing, mining task will now be pre-sliced according to the period variations, meaning if the mining task spans two period variation periods, there will now be two mining operations created. Consequently, there will be more dumping operations.

l

LHS-2978: When running LHS with a Deswik Blender Scheduler source schedule, flow tasks originating from a task with multiple resources will now be divided by distribution dates as well as resource to make sure that the resource assignment respects distribution dates.

102

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

Previously, during resource leveling, blocking tasks were checked against all other tasks in the group, including tasks which were not yet available for work. This created situations where some tasks would never be leveled. Now, only tasks in the available task list are considered by the leveler and associated rules during each leveling iteration. This change may cause a minor difference in the schedule finish date for current schedules that use blocking tasks.

l

SCHED-19865: Previously when reporting on multiple quantity limits that had the same production field, source filter and resource, then the limit values were added together. This would result in incorrect reporting. Now, each limit is reported separately.

103

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 For schedules that were saved in Deswik.Sched 2020.3 and earlier, then opened in Deswik.Sched 2021.1 and later, you will need to remap the correct quantity limit in the Calculate column as shown below.

Enhancements and modifications l

Lock dip while adjusting azimuth: Previously, when adjusting holes around faults, endwalls, and other features, it was necessary to enter the dip and azimuth directly. Now, you can lock the current dip of a hole, and manually rotate the hole in the Model Space. o

Drill Pattern Manager | Modify existing holes | Hole anchor point: With this setting enabled, when you select the non-anchored hole grip point in the Model Space, the movement of the hole is limited so that only the azimuth can be modified.

 In the following example, the dip is set to 10° and the hole is anchored at the collar point. When we move the toe grip, the 'leader' line gives an indication of the placement of the hole as we adjust the hole azimuth in the Model Space (the leader line of the hole points to the cursor but will not reach it or go past it due to the dip restriction).

105

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 In addition, as part of improvements to the movement of holes in the Model Space, holes are prevented from being placed in an invalid position. In the following example, you can see that holes appear red in the Model Space when you attempt to move the hole to an invalid location.

l

Variable hole spacing: Instead of using a fixed hole spacing distance, you can now automate the adjustment of hole spacing in grid patterns to a specific powder factor, where depth variations occur between the collar and toe surfaces. This enhancement is available when you create a pattern of holes within a design boundary, and when you create a pattern using pit alignment and front limit. The Advanced options tab on the ADD GRID PATTERN and CREATE A PATTERN USING PIT ALIGNMENT AND FRONT LIMIT dialog boxes now include the option to select Variable hole spacing. Select an option to determine the sampling depth to use across the pattern (minimum, average, or maximum), enter the stemming depth, average explosive density, and powder factor values.

106

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

In the following example, we have generated a pattern of holes using variable hole spacing to adjust the distance between holes where the depth from collar to toe changes.

When we measure the distance between holes where the depth varies, you can see the adjustment has been calculated automatically.

 The total number of holes generated in this pattern was 227, and in the same pattern generated without variable spacing selected, the total number of holes was 235.

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

CAD-48510 (*.duf files): When loading DUF files from newer Deswik.CAD versions into older ones, some entity fields may not be recognized in the older version because they did not exist at the time that version was created. Such data is stored as 'unsupported data' against the entity so that it is not lost when saved back to DUF. However, this can cause problems if the data is saved to other formats (such as VDML, VDCL, or DCF) because their serializers may not be able to serialize the data correctly (or at all) for anything beyond simple data types. Additionally, there may be no sign that a problem has occurred during the save and only on next opening the file will it fail. This issue potentially affects all versions from 2020.1 to 2021.2. It has been fixed as of the following versions: 2020.1.1182, 2020.2.1078, 2020.3.970, 2021.1.816, and 2021.2.505. Problematic data is no longer included when saving to non-DUF formats.

l

CAD-48809 (*.duf files): Two bug fixes. o

The serializer used in versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 had a fault relating to serializing dwPolyline VerticiesProperties (IndexedXProperties) with null property values. This fault occurred during serialization (saving) of the file and manifested during deserialization (loading). The corrupt files themselves are not easily fixable, but the fault itself has been resolved as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30. The software will no longer produce corrupt files that cannot be opened.

122

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 This fix does not allow files that were corrupted to be loaded without the error. The fix prevents the file corruption from happening in the first place. o

Versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 used a different approach to threading and resource management that could result in thread synchronization and memory usage issues (among others). As of versions as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30, DUF threading and resource management has been re-engineered to address these issues

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): As of 2021.1, this command will not generate valid results with some specific input. This issue has been resolved in version 2021.286 with an upgrade to the 3rd party library Mesh.

l

CAD-48603 (Process maps | Layers): In affected versions of Deswik.CAD, when creating a new process map, when you add your first new process map layer, it is being assigned the same ID (internally) as the existing default layer, resulting in the two layers being 'joined'. This causes issues with visibility as well as entities on the original layer being deleted. This issue has been resolved. However, the following versions were affected: From

To

2020.1.908

2020.1.1069

2020.2.664

2020.2.905

2020.3.473

2020.3.731

2021.1.157

2021.1.503

If you are using an affected version, you can work around this issue when creating a new process map by just saving it immediately (that is, save it blank, with just the default layer (Layer 1)). Then reopen it. There will be no further issues. If you have already created a process map and have the duplicate layers in your document, deleting the duplicate layers and continuing to work in the process map will not solve the problem. You will need to do the following: 1. Create a new layer. This is where you will put everything from your duplicated layers. 2. Isolate the entities on the duplicate layer pair in the Design Space (all other entities should be hidden). 3. Now you have two options: a. If visible objects do not include links o

, then:

Select all the visible objects, remove them from the duplicate layers, and put them on the new layer (by clearing the check boxes for the duplicate layers in the Layers selected items are on window, and then selecting the check box for the new layer).

123

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

b. If visible objects include links

, then you cannot currently mark them as being on another layer. You

will need to select all the entities, cut them, then make the new layer active and paste them in place on that layer.

 The inability to mark links as being on other layers is another bug that is currently in the process of being fixed. 4. Delete the duplicate layer pair. 5. Save your process map, close it, and reload. The file is now fixed and will not exhibit the duplicate layer behavior.

 If you have any Display Process Map Layer commands in your process map that reference one of the deleted layer names, you will need to remap these to the new layer name (or you can just rename the new layer to the old layer name).

 Not sure if you have a duplicate layer issue? Test by turning on the One layer view mode and iterate through all the layers. If you are able to select two checkboxes at the same time (which should not be possible), then you have a duplicate layer problem.

Known Issues And Workarounds l

Point Cloud Filtering: o

Point Cloud filtering on very large data sets, or on systems with low performance graphics cards can sometimes cause "TDR" crashes when the system runs out of resources (you will see a TDR error in a message box on-screen and need to close and-reopen Deswik.CAD).

o

For systems with a dedicated GPU, the Point Cloud Dynamic Statistical Outlier filter limits the maximum neighbor count based on available graphics memory.

l

CAD-46312 (Modify | Polylines | Label | Selection: The internal label order in DUFv4 files across versions 2019.2 to 2020.1 is not compatible, resulting in incorrect labels displaying. To workaround, this issue: o

Moving forward from 2019.2 to 2020.1+: Save your file model as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2019.2. then open in 2020.1+ and save as DUFv4.

124

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o

Moving backward from 2020.1+ to 2019.2: Save your file as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2020.1+. then open in 2019.2 and save as DUFv4.

l

CAD-45000 (Point Clouds): Point clouds saved in versions 2019.3 and higher cannot be opened in 2019.2 and earlier. In addition, point clouds saved in 2019.2 and earlier do not support RGB and various attributes, whereas point clouds saved in 2019.3+ do.

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): Our development team are investigating an issue with Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids, which affects a single test case only, where the command produces unexpected results for that particular data set.

l

CAD-46450 (Modify | Solids | Cut | Block And Benches): If you are running this command from a process map, Deswik.CAD will not write Block attribute values when using multi-threaded processing. Instead it will write null values.

To work around this issue: 1. Clear the Multi-threaded processing check box in the EDIT NODE dialog box in the process map.

OR 2. If multi-threading is required, run the command from the Modify menu instead. l

CAD-48348 (ORTHO mode): When drawing a vertical line in ORTHO mode, the cursor is visible, but no polyline is drawn. This issue is also occurring in 2020.3. It is not resolved until 2021.2.

l

CAD-48259 (Application disappears): There is a bug in Deswik.CAD (and likely other applications in Deswik.Suite), where the application intermittently disappears as a result of heap corruption. The issue relates to a folder browser dialog supplied by a third party (DevExpress). This issue was introduced in 2020.3.105+, following changes to swap out an old folder browser control with a DevExpress folder browser. This issue is not yet resolved.

138

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

Previously, during resource leveling, blocking tasks were checked against all other tasks in the group, including tasks which were not yet available for work. This created situations where some tasks would never be leveled. Now, only tasks in the available task list are considered by the leveler and associated rules during each leveling iteration. This change may cause a minor difference in the schedule finish date for current schedules that use blocking tasks.

l

SCHED-19865: Previously when reporting on multiple quantity limits that had the same production field, source filter and resource, then the limit values were added together. This would result in incorrect reporting. Now, each limit is reported separately.

Tools | Drillholes | Desurvey: Desurveying is usually done using only collar (top of hole) and downhole survey information using a variety of methods, including Linear, Tangent, and Minimum Curvature. Deswik.CAD previously supported only Linear and Tangent. Minimum curvature was not supported, but users were given the option of including sample (assay) data points as part of the desurvey calculations. If you had enough sample data for a hole, the hole trace would approach the result you would get from the Minimum curvature algorithm. It has been determined that this was problematic, because using sample data in calculations meant that the position of a hole in space was based on the input data provided. A hole trace desurveyed without also importing sample data would be in a significantly different location to one that was desurveyed with sample data. To ensure drillhole locations output by this command are aligned with other software packages, we have modified the command so that all three algorithms are supported (Linear, Tangent, and Minimum Curvature), and that they each work in the 'standard' way. Using the new methodology for each algorithm, the hole trace (and certainly the hole toe) will not change substantially when importing samples.

 These changes have been added to all versions of Deswik.Suite from 2019.1 onward. Users will be guided to use the new algorithms in preference to the older ones. If you are working a project with saved settings, and you have a *.ddd file with the parameters from the 'old' algorithm, a new algorithm will be selected for you and you will see a warning icon to the right of the field. Point to it to see the following tooltip:

 The current methodology of the Linear method can still be used via the new Legacy algorithm (which we have kept for those clients who have verified their results and are happy with the values provided). However, we recommend that if you are using this command for the first time, you use one of the new algorithms.

 If using the new Minimum Curvature algorithm there may be slightly more curvature of the hole between survey points if you import samples, but the coordinates of the survey points will not change. This should result in a more reliable (and reproducible) drillhole trace. Compare methods

Tools | Point Cloud | Modify: Deswik.AdvSurvey users; This command now provides the option of applying four different dynamic filters for real-time feedback of the points to be edited.

154

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 The dynamic filters of this command require appropriate Windows TDR settings to function. These settings control the point at which Windows considers the graphics driver to be unresponsive and close the application. To avoid this, the TdrDelay setting in the registry must be modified from the default 2 seconds to at least 30 seconds. If you attempt to use the dynamic filters and your current settings are inadequate, a warning will appear.

 There are some known issues with point cloud filtering. See Point Cloud Filtering in the Known Issues And Workarounds section for more information. l

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

CAD-48510 (*.duf files): When loading DUF files from newer Deswik.CAD versions into older ones, some entity fields may not be recognized in the older version because they did not exist at the time that version was created. Such data is stored as 'unsupported data' against the entity so that it is not lost when saved back to DUF. However, this can cause problems if the data is saved to other formats (such as VDML, VDCL, or DCF) because their serializers may not be able to serialize the data correctly (or at all) for anything beyond simple data types. Additionally, there may be no sign that a problem has occurred during the save and only on next opening the file will it fail. This issue potentially affects all versions from 2020.1 to 2021.2. It has been fixed as of the following versions: 2020.1.1182, 2020.2.1078, 2020.3.970, 2021.1.816, and 2021.2.505. Problematic data is no longer included when saving to non-DUF formats.

l

CAD-48809 (*.duf files): Two bug fixes.

156

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o

The serializer used in versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 had a fault relating to serializing dwPolyline VerticiesProperties (IndexedXProperties) with null property values. This fault occurred during serialization (saving) of the file and manifested during deserialization (loading). The corrupt files themselves are not easily fixable, but the fault itself has been resolved as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30. The software will no longer produce corrupt files that cannot be opened.

 This fix does not allow files that were corrupted to be loaded without the error. The fix prevents the file corruption from happening in the first place. o

Versions of DUF used in Deswik.CAD prior to 2020.3 used a different approach to threading and resource management that could result in thread synchronization and memory usage issues (among others). As of versions as of versions 2020.3.888, 2021.1.689. 2021.2.377, and 2022.1.30, DUF threading and resource management has been re-engineered to address these issues

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): As of 2021.1, this command will not generate valid results with some specific input. This issue has been resolved in version 2021.286 with an upgrade to the 3rd party library Mesh.

l

CAD-48603 (Process maps | Layers): In affected versions of Deswik.CAD, when creating a new process map, when you add your first new process map layer, it is being assigned the same ID (internally) as the existing default layer, resulting in the two layers being 'joined'. This causes issues with visibility as well as entities on the original layer being deleted. This issue has been resolved. However, the following versions were affected: From

To

2020.1.908

2020.1.1069

2020.2.664

2020.2.905

2020.3.473

2020.3.731

2021.1.157

2021.1.503

If you are using an affected version, you can work around this issue when creating a new process map by just saving it immediately (that is, save it blank, with just the default layer (Layer 1)). Then reopen it. There will be no further issues. If you have already created a process map and have the duplicate layers in your document, deleting the duplicate layers and continuing to work in the process map will not solve the problem. You will need to do the following: 1. Create a new layer. This is where you will put everything from your duplicated layers. 2. Isolate the entities on the duplicate layer pair in the Design Space (all other entities should be hidden). 3. Now you have two options:

157

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

a. If visible objects do not include links o

, then:

Select all the visible objects, remove them from the duplicate layers, and put them on the new layer (by clearing the check boxes for the duplicate layers in the Layers selected items are on window, and then selecting the check box for the new layer).

b. If visible objects include links

, then you cannot currently mark them as being on another layer. You

will need to select all the entities, cut them, then make the new layer active and paste them in place on that layer.

 The inability to mark links as being on other layers is another bug that is currently in the process of being fixed. 4. Delete the duplicate layer pair. 5. Save your process map, close it, and reload. The file is now fixed and will not exhibit the duplicate layer behavior.

 If you have any Display Process Map Layer commands in your process map that reference one of the deleted layer names, you will need to remap these to the new layer name (or you can just rename the new layer to the old layer name).

 Not sure if you have a duplicate layer issue? Test by turning on the One layer view mode and iterate through all the layers. If you are able to select two checkboxes at the same time (which should not be possible), then you have a duplicate layer problem.

Known Issues And Workarounds l

Point Cloud Filtering: o

Point Cloud filtering on very large data sets, or on systems with low performance graphics cards can sometimes cause "TDR" crashes when the system runs out of resources (you will see a TDR error in a message box on-screen and need to close and-reopen Deswik.CAD).

o

For systems with a dedicated GPU, the Point Cloud Dynamic Statistical Outlier filter limits the maximum neighbor count based on available graphics memory.

CAD-46312 (Modify | Polylines | Label | Selection: The internal label order in DUFv4 files across versions 2019.2 to 2020.1 is not compatible, resulting in incorrect labels displaying. To workaround, this issue: o

Moving forward from 2019.2 to 2020.1+: Save your file model as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2019.2. then open in 2020.1+ and save as DUFv4.

o

Moving backward from 2020.1+ to 2019.2: Save your file as *.dcf or *.vdcl in 2020.1+. then open in 2019.2 and save as DUFv4.

l

CAD-45000 (Point Clouds): Point clouds saved in versions 2019.3 and higher cannot be opened in 2019.2 and earlier. In addition, point clouds saved in 2019.2 and earlier do not support RGB and various attributes, whereas point clouds saved in 2019.3+ do.

l

CAD-46601 (Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids): Our development team are investigating an issue with Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Create All Split Solids, which affects a single test case only, where the command produces unexpected results for that particular data set.

l

CAD-46450 (Modify | Solids | Cut | Block And Benches): If you are running this command from a process map, Deswik.CAD will not write Block attribute values when using multi-threaded processing. Instead it will write null values.

To work around this issue: 1. Clear the Multi-threaded processing check box in the EDIT NODE dialog box in the process map.

OR 2. If multi-threading is required, run the command from the Modify menu instead. l

CAD-48348 (ORTHO mode): When drawing a vertical line in ORTHO mode, the cursor is visible, but no polyline is drawn. This issue is also occurring in 2020.3. It is not resolved until 2021.2.

l

CAD-48259 (Application disappears): There is a bug in Deswik.CAD (and likely other applications in Deswik.Suite), where the application intermittently disappears as a result of heap corruption. The issue relates to a folder browser dialog supplied by a third party (DevExpress). This issue was introduced in 2020.3.105+, following changes to swap out an old folder browser control with a DevExpress folder browser. This issue is not yet resolved.

Deswik.GeoTools

 If you have previously installed a beta version, you should uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch.

Key highlights New commands and features l

Deswik.Mapping | Tools | Working Plane | Face by Laser Line: In mines under geological control, it can be challenging to place an accurate face position before survey has been done because there is no reference data to base the positions from. Drive positions can vary a lot between the design and the final position. With this new feature, you can use a laser and laser lines in the Model Space to set up a face position using offsets of the laser point on the face to the walls and floor.

l

Deswik.Mapping | Status Bar: A status bar is now displayed at the bottom of the Deswik.Mapping application window. Use this tool to determine whether a long-running process is underway, or the ORTHO or POLAR options are turned on in the current document.

l

GeoBase Service: When your site administrator initially sets up Deswik.Sampling or any sampling functions in Deswik.Mapping, they should install the new GeoBase Service. This means that your site will no longer have to manually create or maintain the GeoBase database where sampling data is stored. Note that Deswik might need to migrate your site to the new GeoBase Service in case a manual database upgrade is needed.

Enhancements and modifications l

Deswik.CAD | Tools | Geology | Sampling: With the 2021.1 release, Deswik.IMS (Identity Management Service) settings can be imported into the Deswik.Sampling module to provide user authentication, authorization, and license checks. Existing Deswik.Sampling users will need to have their IT organization install Deswik.IMS. For a limited time, Deswik.Sampling will still support the previous authentication and licensing system.

l

Scheduling | Baselines: A new feature has been added which allows you to overwrite a baseline with the data from the current schedule. Previously, if you wanted to update the data for a baseline, you had to un-select the old baseline and then create a new one. Now, you can simply click Recreate baseline from the TASK BASELINES dialog box and it will update the selected baseline.

167

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l

Scheduling | Import Baselines: When importing a baseline you can now choose to replace an existing baseline with the data from the imported schedule. Previously, you had to create a new baseline for the imported file.

l

Home | Configure Columns: You can now add a new column to the task grid, Task should be leveled, to show which tasks you would expect to have a physical resource assignment after resource leveling is completed. The value in this column is always 'True' except in certain conditions such as when a task is a milestone, a task is already completed, or Task can be leveled is set to 'False' for the task.

 Use this column to create a filter to verify that leveling has done everything that it was supposed to.

l

Setup | Custom Fields and Setup | Production Fields: You can now use date and time specific functions to populate production and custom fields.

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Enhancements and modifications l

Scheduling | Baselines: We have made some improvements to Baselines so you can now easily select and identify the baselines displayed in your schedule. This has been achieved by converting the Baseline dropdown list to a multi-select dropdown list. Previously, you could select multiple baselines from the Task Baselines dialog box but there was no indication of which baselines were shown in the schedule other than for the currently selected baseline.

l

View | Dashboards: To improve dashboard accessibility, the title of a dashboard now includes the Deswik.Sched file name and version of software.

l

Setup | Time Usage Models: Adding new rows to the TIME USAGE MODEL SETUP grid has been simplified! New rows are now automatically added to the selected main group or subgroup.

171

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

If a Main Group is selected, then the new row is added to the main group in an empty subgroup.

If a Sub Group is selected, then the new row is added at the bottom of the selected subgroup.

l

View | Resources: Previously, when using the Resources or Resources Report view in conjunction with the option Only show resources with assigned tasks in the Resources view, the resources that were shown where only pools or single resources with direct assignments to tasks. Now, resources that have been assigned to tasks during resource leveling (physical resources) are also shown.

172

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes l

Previously, during resource leveling, blocking tasks were checked against all other tasks in the group, including tasks which were not yet available for work. This created situations where some tasks would never be leveled. Now, only tasks in the available task list are considered by the leveler and associated rules during each leveling iteration. This change may cause a minor difference in the schedule finish date for current schedules that use blocking tasks.

l

SCHED-19865: Previously when reporting on multiple quantity limits that had the same production field, source filter and resource, then the limit values were added together. This would result in incorrect reporting. Now, each limit is reported separately.

173

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 For schedules that were saved in Deswik.Sched 2020.3 and earlier, then opened in Deswik.Sched 2021.1 and later, you will need to remap the correct quantity limit in the Calculate column as shown below.

174

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Deswik.SO

 If you have previously installed a beta version, you should uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch.

Enhancements and modifications l

Deswik.SO automatically creates multiple complimentary files that it uses in conjunction with the active Deswik.SO file. Previously, the default location for these files was C:\ProgramData\Deswik\StopeOptimizer. However, we recommended users change this location, since ProgramData\Deswik is a hidden folder, usually reserved for 'behind the scenes', temporary files that the Deswik.Suite needs to run the various modules. Now, the new Same as graphics file check box sets the default location of these files to the same directory as the active file. Clear this new check box to be able to browse for another location.

 When you select a block model (on the Block model tab), Deswik.SO will now check to see if this check box is selected. If it is, and the model is in that same file folder or a subfolder, Deswik.SO will make the selection a relative path (that is, remove the full directory path).

Known issues l

SO-1709 - SO not responding: A recently introduced bug that would cause Deswik.CAD to crash abruptly without giving the user the error reporting dialog or a chance to save data has been fixed. The bug would occur when Deswik.SO was opened in a project containing no existing scenarios and the first new one was added. Projects with existing scenarios were not affected.

Deswik.UGDB

 If you have previously installed a beta version, you should uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch.

Enhancements and modifications l

Enhancements to Primer Placement Rules: We have made the following changes to the placement rules configuration grid. o

Initial Setup | Primer Or Booster Rules or Show Editor | Settings | Primer or booster rules n

Filter: This field has been added to the grid, so that you can use existing filters to apply the rule only to those holes that meet the filter criteria.

n

Distance From: When you select the Distance Type of 'Fraction Of', the additional starting location options are now available.

 In the following example we have selected the 'BT' filter to apply specific rules only to breakthrough holes. You can also see that we now have additional options to select as the Distance From when the Distance Type of 'Fraction Of' is selected. For example, we can configure the primer to be placed at the specified fraction distance from the drill collar, charge collar, drill toe and so on.

l

Export navigation holes at custom height from drive floor: Previously, front and rear navigation holes could only be exported from the top of the tunnel. Now, you can export front and rear navigation holes configured at either floor or ceiling, or at a custom height measured from the tunnel floor. o

Process Rings Configuration | Export Survey Data | Settings tab | Generate navigation holes: Click Configure to open the NAVIGATION HOLES dialog box.

o

Process Rings Configuration | Export IREDES | Navigation holes: Click Configure to open the NAVIGATION HOLES dialog box. In the NAVIGATION HOLES dialog box, the following changes have been made to the grid:

n

Height mode: A new field consisting of three options - 'Custom', 'Ceiling', or 'Floor'. l

Custom: Select this option to use the specified Hole height to place navigation holes. For Left and Right navigation holes, 'Custom' is the only option available.

l

Ceiling: Front and rear holes only, select this option to place the navigation hole at the top of the drive. If the Hole length is not zero, the hole midpoint is placed at the top of the drive.

l

Floor: Front and rear holes only, select this option to place the navigation hole at the lowest elevation of the drive. If the Hole length is not zero, the hole midpoint is placed at the lowest elevation of the drive.

n

Hole height: The Pivot height field has been renamed Hole height and is only available when you select the Height mode 'Custom'. l

Left and right navigation holes only; enter the height (from the drive floor) at which to place horizontal holes that intersect the left or right walls of the drive.

l

Front and rear holes only; enter the height to place the hole (from the drive floor), or the height at the hole midpoint (where the hole length is not zero).

177

DESWIK.SUITE 2021.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 Collar and toe placement of the navigation hole depends on the specified hole length. If a hole length is specified, the navigation hole is placed at the midpoint of the hole length. The hole collar will be placed inside the drive and the toe will be placed outside the drive on either side. If the hole length is zero or left blank, the collar and toe points will be identical, and will be placed at the intersection of the drive wall. l

Option to switch between long and plan view when placing a winze: Previously, it was not possible to place a winze section in long view. Now, you can quickly switch between plan view and long view to make it easy to choose the reference line position of a winze section. o

Winze Sections | Add Winze Section: In the ADD WINZE SECTION dialog box, select either Set plan view or Set long view from the new Current view area of the dialog box.

 The view reverts to long view if you select Pick in the Reference line position area when choosing the winze dump angle.

 The view switches to section view when configuring the settings in the Drive and break-away position and Holes rotation and length areas of the ADD WINZE SECTION dialog box.

SUPPORT-65782

File | Open - "Error Opening Document" When loading DUF files from newer CAD versions into older ones it is possible that some entity fields are not recognised by the older version because they didn't exist at the time that version was created. Such data is stored as "unsupported data" against the entity so that it is not lost when saved back to DUF. This can cause problems however if the data is saved to other formats (e.g. VDML, VDCL, DCF) because their serializers may not be able to serialize the data correctly or at all for anything beyond simple data types. Additionally, there may be no sign that a problem has occurred during the save and only on next opening the file will it fail. Luckily there is a high likelihood that we can recover/fix such corrupted files. To prevent this happening in the future we will prevent problematic data being written out to non-DUF formats.
