Main Menu

 

The main menu in UPL has a variety of options to select;

The first three options, 'Lerchs-Grossman', 'Moving Cone' and 'Korobov' are the three ultimate pit limit determination algorithms. Selecting each of these will run that algorithm on whichever orebody model you currently have displayed in the main excel window.

'Data Transform' will run the transformational subroutine on the data that is currently in the primary window. This enables you to translate the data from other data formats, into a format which UPL can use to determine the ultimate pit limit.

'Transform Options' provides a list of options which you can use to select which data type you have, and to enter the data necessary to enable the transformation subroutine to calculate your orebody accurately.

'Resize Cells' is an option to use when you wish to display the data in UPL differently. Instead of using the Excel's standard cell orientation, 'Resize Cells' will change the size of the cells, using the block location information which has been entered in the 'General Options' window.

'General Options' allows you to alter the options under which the program runs. Here, you can select between 2D and 3D modes, and the block size, among other options.

'About' displays the about box.
