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:
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:
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.
