The 3D-Dig Foundations Learning Path will give you a comprehensive introduction to the rich functionality of 3D-Dig base software. You will learn how 3D-Dig creates highly realistic simulations of excavation, dumping and blasting, as well as how the software deals with data input and output in various formats. In this Learning Path you will also deal with the application of 3D-Dig Stage Plans and Linked Simulations to sophisticated modelling of mining processes. At the end you will see how 3D-Dig creates roads and associated structures. The 3D-Dig Foundations Learning Path consists of the following courses: 3D-Dig Basics & Blasting 3D-Dig Excavation 3D-Dig Dumping 3D-Dig Stage Plan 3D-Dig Linked Simulation 3D-Dig Roads & Associated Structures 3D-Dig Foundations: Final Exam   You can click here to download a PDF of course descriptions in this Learning Path.

In this course, you will learn how to quickly and easily create roads and similar structures in 3D-Dig. The course will begin by showing you how to set up the road horizontal alignment and cross-sectional parameters. After you have done this, you will continue the road design process by setting up the road’s vertical alignment. You will then excavate the road and learn how to edit the horizontal alignment to achieve a reasonable cut/fill balance in your 3D-Dig road. Finally, the course shows you that you can apply this functionality to create associated earthworks structures such as access ramps, dams, and drainage channels. Read more

This course introduces you to the basics of 3D-Dig. Following an introduction to theoretical foundations and some essential structures and tools, you will learn how to work with surfaces and features. Also, the unique concept of blasting in 3D-Dig will be described. Read more

This course will introduce you to using 3D-Dig for Dragline Simulation. Firstly, you will make acquaintance with important theoretical concepts, as well as with a few essential structures and tools. Following this you will learn how to set up dragline simulations, create accurate 3D dragline mining plans and export critical planning information. The course will end with a description and hands-on application of the detailed Dragline Productivity Model in 3D-Dig. Read more

In this course, you will be introduced to the unique 3D-Dig Dump Simulation method. After learning how to dump material along a line or within an area, you will see how dumps can be limited by a surface. Dumping in passes will then be introduced, along with examples of how to use this method to quickly build complex dumps. Finally, you will learn how to color-code material as it is dumped, in order to distinguish different material types within 3D-Dig dumps. Read more

In this course, you will learn how to set up and execute free mode excavations in 3D-Dig. You will also learn how to perform the box cut excavation. First, you will get started with some 3D-Dig excavation basics, and then make acquaintance with the concepts of limit, selective, and multiple excavations. Read more
