2DView

Overview

2DView is the viewing module for JKSimBlast. It can display a blast design as a plan or section, or in an oblique view, as defined by the user. However, it cannot graphically edit a design - a design module, 2DBench, 2DRing or 2DFace, is required.

 

2DView is also a viewing platform for two of the analysis modules of JKSimBlast: Explosive Energy Distribution and 2DContour.

 

Explosive Energy Distribution analysis is a contour of the concentration of explosive mass or energy throughout the blast. The calculation is performed on a 2D plane, defined by the user, but takes into account the full three dimensional spread of the explosives in the rock mass.

The main features of the analysis are:

  • calculate as 3D (static) or 4D (including cooperation time)
  • five ranges - kg/t, kg/m³, MJ/t, MJ/m², MJ/m³
  • variable resolution (distance between points)
  • display as filled colour
  • calculate percentage of contour in region (area occupied by each range)
  • results (points and values) saved to MS Access database

     

    2DContour calculates contours for data attached to blast holes, such as detonation time, mass or energy of explosives, hole length, collar level, etc.; and

    2DContour is the hole contouring analysis module of JKSimBlast. It allows the user to create contours of data attached to blast holes, either as lines or filled regions. The available contours include such values as:

  • hole length, dip, diameter, subdrill
  • collar or toe level
  • total explosive mass, energy, length, cost
  • downhole detonator depth, cost
  • detonation time

    To create a contour, first load a blast design, set the orientation of the view, then define the contour region. Select the data to be contoured and start the calculation. To display the results, set the scale and type of display.

    The program can also calculate contours of other user-defined data for a blast hole added to the design database - for example: drilling time, penetration rate, water depth. The figure below shows the total thickness of soft hardness rock for each blast hole from drilling. In this case, note that the blast contains two major areas with greater than 6 metres total thickness of soft material.
