Stockpiles n°1, 2 and 3

Click on New Stockpile and define main characteristics of stockpile n°1:

• material name: 10001 (for instance a material ID),

• material nature: gravel

• grain-size: 4/6.

Note that you are free to modify or to add your own fields. You can also modify the stockpile color by clicking on the colored square. Click OK. If necessary, you will be allowed to modify later all stockpile definition items thanks to shortcuts within the command.

Then, you can draw manually or select its contour (refer to the stockpile map, to the polyline Contour 1 and to fig.1). Close and validate the contour with ENTER.

Figure 1: stockpile n°1

Select the Best plane from contour method to mesh the initial ground below the stockpile. Click Preview. You can use the bulbs to display/hide elements (this can help to find out the best computation method for the ground). Here, you don't have to apply a spike elimination. Click Reset to start again the stockpile contour, if necessary.

Click OK, Next and repeat the same workflow for stockpiles n°2 and 3, using the parameters in the chart below.

Stockpile n°4

For this stockpile 4, you have to proceed in 2 steps by computing first the main part 4a above the ground, and then create another stockpile 4b corresponding to the part above the embankment. In both cases you should start drawing the contour by clicking points corresponding to the border between parts, that is to say points corresponding to the low and invisible embankment edge. Choose the From contour points method to compute the 2 parts. Note the gap size between both parts depends on the cloud resolution.
