How ts.STOPE Works
A seamless, connected workflow from mine design to geotechnical decision
The ts.stope module is designed for advanced underground stope modeling and geomechanical analysis. It helps mining engineers and geotechnical specialists simulate stope geometries, evaluate rock mass stability, and optimize extraction sequences to minimize dilution and maximize ore recovery.
What input parameters are required to run a stope stability analysis?
To run an accurate analysis, the model requires key geotechnical and geometric inputs. These typically include rock mass properties (such as UCS, GSI, and intact rock properties), in-situ stress field data, stope dimensions (strike length, width, and height), and structural orientations.
Can ts.stope be integrated with advanced numerical modeling tools like FLAC3D?
Yes, it is built with interoperability in mind. The stope geometries, generated meshes, and initial stress parameters can be seamlessly exported to advanced finite difference software like FLAC3D for deeper
How does the tool help in predicting overbreak and underbreak?
By utilizing empirical methods (such as the Stability Graph Method) alongside numerical stress analysis, ts.stope calculates the radius of relaxation and shear failure zones around the excavation. This allows users to reliably estimate potential overbreak (sloughing) and underbreak zones before actual mining begins.
