WHAT’S NEW FOR DATAMINE STUDIO OP V2.0
Studio OP contains functionality for both medium and short term planning of open pit mines.
Studio OP has a full range of functionality for open pit mine planning including:
• Mine planning block model preparation and manipulation
• Tools for pit design and the generation of mining surfaces
• A managed workflow for generating mining blocks and reserves within pits, mining phases and benches.
• Rich definition of mine infrastructure including haul routes, equipment, calendars and processing destinations.
• Medium and short term operational scheduling.
• CPLEX optimiser for automatic determination of optimal schedules.
Main Messages for Datamine Studio OP v2.0
Version 2.0 of Studio OP is a significant upgrade from the previous version. It has new and
improved functionality which is presented using a more accessible and informative user
interface.
New!! User Interface Layout and Controls
Studio OP now has a ribbon interface that contains categories of
functions related by mine planning task. Commonly-used
functions are still easily accessible. New control bars for filtering
and reserve data make managing how your data is displayed
much easier.
New!! Managed Reserves Commands, Ribbon, Window and
Workflow
Studio OP has a Reserves category of managed functions that
guide you through the process of generating mining blocks to be
scheduled. A new separate 3D Task Window is used visualise the
task-relevant data. The reserve data control bar provides easy
access to your managed data such as phases, bench solids,
outlines, dependencies etc.
3
New!! CPLEX - Datamine Summit Scheduler
Create an optimised schedule using Datamine's new cloud-based
Scheduler. Commit your mining block reserves, processing,
infrastructure and equipment parameters from within Studio OP
and allow CPLEX to solve and provide valid solutions rapidly and
accurately.
Multiple Enhancements to Manual Scheduling
Manual scheduling is now easier and more powerful. More
automatic adherence to dependencies and processing constraints
and control over equipment allocation makes it easier to get a
practical schedule sooner.
New!! Updated 3D Windows
Building on the strengths of Studio 3’s Design and VR windows,
the new 3D and Task windows bring you the best of both worlds
in terms of design and visualization. Featuring a useful ‘section
locking’ control, you can design, analyze and present your data
in just the way you want.
New!! Bench Section Toolbar
After bench definitions for a pit have been created they can be
used by the new bench section toolbar to quickly navigate to
bench reference elevations and clip by numbers of benches.
New!! EPS Connectivity
Sending data to from OP to view in Datamine’s Enhanced
Production Scheduler application is now all done in memory –
so no need for exchange files.
Studio OP also provides a dedicated “EPS” ribbon to facilitate a
live connection between your schedule data and a running
instance of EPS. You need the latest EPS version: V3.0.
New!! 3D Window Templates
Maximize the potential of your 3D environment using new 3D
window templates. Instantly set up base formatting for all of
your object types and transfer information seamlessly between
Plots and 3D templates. You can also swap between any
previously-configured template by right-clicking a 3D overlay to
set the new visual formatting in seconds.
New!! Simplified Licensing Model
With this update, you get everything you need to complete your
open pit design and scheduling tasks out-of-the-box. A
straightforward licensing model means you get all core open pit
management functionality as part of the installed system
(wireframing, pit and blast design, activity/schedule tools, mid-
4
term and short-term control plus the full suite of 3D visualization
options) with no extra licensing required. Where we have
established development partnerships with external companies to
deliver non-proprietary functionality, this is controlled by
independent licensing.
New!! 64-Bit System
Studio OP is available in two flavours; 32- and 64-bit. The 64-bit
version allows you to access even more of your host system than
previous 32-bit systems, potentially granting access to data sets
that may have exceeded system limits in the past.
New!! Summit Connectivity
This update to Studio OP introduces the new Summit window;
this provides access to your Summit portal to easily transfer data
from desktop to cloud. You and your colleagues can visualize
your data using Summit. An active Summit subscription is
required.
New!! Extended Sheets Control Bar
By popular demand, the Sheets control bar has been extended to
provide some of the functionality previously only available in the
Loaded Data control bar. This extended control bar allows you to
both manage your loaded data connections and organize your
visual formatting and create overlays for 3D objects. Non-visual
objects can still be managed using Loaded Data bar functions.
New!! Enhanced File Type Awareness
The ability for Studio to automatically recognize a file type (e.g. a
wireframe, drillhole etc.) has always been a real time-saver,
allowing the system to adjust its behaviour automatically
according to the context of what types of data have been loaded.
This facility has been greatly extended with this update to allow
your system to automatically detect file types such as stats
outputs.
New!! 3D Window Section Management Tools
Load and edit section definition files quickly and easily. With a
loaded section definition file, you can now access the details of
each section contained within it, using new functionality provided
via the Sheets control bar. You can edit the definitions of any
loaded section, add or remove sections and even overwrite any
section that has been loaded with the current 3D window section.
5
New!! Wireframe Clean Function
The new wireframe-clean command provides a set of options
which can be used to fix many problems in wireframes found as a
result of the Verify command
New!! View-independent clipping: You can now choose to
"Ignore Clipping" in any data view independently, giving you
more flexibility in how you present your data. This allows you to
show clipping in the main application but disable it in one of your
external 3D windows, for example.
New!! New Processes and Process Improvements
New processes are available in this version, including
• WFEXPND: a new process has been developed to
expands the specified open or closed wireframe in three
dimensions, similar to the expand string function.
• MOD2BLKS: a new process to create mining blocks,
reserves and dependencies to be used for scheduling
directly from an input block model.
• RECMODWF: compare the volumes defined by wireframe
solids with the contents of cells classified by keyfields in
the model file. For example, compare the contents of
designed pushbacks with pushbacks defined in a strategic
model.
• RECBLKST: compare the volumes defined by outlines
between an initial and final topography. A bounding
perimeter can be supplied.
• RECMODEL: compare the volumes defined by two model
key fields, e.g. compare the contents of designed
pushbacks with pushbacks defined in a strategic model.
• OPBLKSEQ: a new process that generates open pit block
bench links based on input mining block outline strings
and activity points, plus (optionally) a points file defining
the location of bench exits.
• MODSPLIT: split a Datamine cell/subcell model in just
one step using an input wireframe to create a new model
that is constrained by the wireframe.
• REBLOCK: re-block a model by specifying new X, Y and Z
parent cell sizes. The origin of the model remains
unchanged.
• COMBMOD: Combine multiple block models that may
have different data definitions.
6
• EXPNDMOD: Expand a block model to fill a larger volume
and/or fill its full volume with cells.
• DILUTMOD: Adjust model cell values where adjacent
ore/waste values differ to model dilution across material
boundaries.
• STATS: a new PCNTILES parameter is now available to
calculate percentiles and the Median Absolute Deviation.
The 50% percentile is the median.
The coefficient of variation and mid-range values are now
always calculated.
The KEYSORT parameter can be used to automatically
sort the input file on its key fields, removing the need to
manually sort the input file before using STATS
The SORTOUT parameter can be used to automatically
sort the output file by FIELD. This makes it much easier to
compare the statistics of fields across different key fields,
for example grades within different rock types.
• CORREL: now has the option to output a file containing
the correlation matrices. It also has an option to specify a
zone key field that can be used to calculate correlations
per rock type.
• SLIMOD and PERFIL: now automatically output models
sorted on IJK. In addition, PERFIL now supports a
CHECKROT parameter to automatically check for an input
rotated model.
• COUNT: COUNT now has an optional KEYSORT parameter
which can be used to automatically sort the input file on
its key fields before processing.
• TONGRAD: several improvements, including support for
absent grade and density values, additive fields can be
specified and a cumulative tonnage-grade curve is now
possible.
• TRIVAL: run this process more rapidly by opting to omit
internal surface checking and/or checking for DTM
overlaps. A ZONE field is also supported in this update.
• PITMOD: you can now specify an alternative origin
and/or bench height.
New!! 3D Section ‘Widgets’
Section manipulation has never been easier with the 3D window’s
interactive section editor, a context-sensitive display of editing
controls that allow you to adjust the elevation, dip and rotation
of your section in real time, with all data clipping settings
honoured throughout.
7
New!! Insert-curve command
Interactively insert a curve between two selected string points
using modifiers to adjust the radius of curvature.
This new command greatly reduces the time taken to modify
existing string/road structures.
New!! Quick Filters
A new “Quick Filter” function allows you to rapidly define filters
which can be used to hide or show loaded data with the
minimum of fuss. You can select one or more bins in a selected
legend and your 3D scene will update automatically
New!! Cursor Tooltips
System prompts and information, traditionally relegated to the
Status Bar, can now be displayed alongside your cursor. This
allows you to keep your eyes focused on your data and be sure
what your system is expecting next in terms of input.
New!! External 3D Windows
In addition to the powerful new tools available in the 3D window,
you can also separate one or more windows into floating
visualizers, no longer bound to the external frame of the parent
application – perfect for multiple monitor setups!
New!! Automatic Section Maps
Drag and drop geo-referenced section images into the 3D view
and automatically assemble them into a contextually-accurate
display.
New!! Windows® 10 Support
This product has been tested against the Windows 10 operating
system.
New!! World File Creation
You can now generate a georeferenced world file automatically,
based on your current image draping settings in the 3D window.
8
New!! Find Command Dialog Improvements
All commands and processes (yes, over 940 of them) displayed
in the Find Command dialog have been updated with new and
improved descriptions.
…and many other improvements made since the last release of Studio OP.
A full list of changes is available in the “Release Notes” section further below.
Work that is scheduled for OP v2.0 but not completed in time for this beta can be found
in the “Known Issues” table.

UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF STUDIO OP
Upgrade paths are supported for users of Datamine Studio OP; you can upgrade your previous
version of Studio OP to v2.0, however, behaviour across all environments and configurations
is not always predictable.
As such, if you experience any issues with your installation or operation of Studio OP v2.0, you
should take the following reparative steps in the first instance:
1. Using the Windows Control Panel to uninstall your existing version of Studio OP (it is
not necessary to uninstall previous prerequisite components such as Data Source
Drivers, License Services, Table Editor or Datamine Data Converter.
2. Remove the installation folder after uninstallation is complete. This will either be in the
Program Files (x86) | Datamine folder and will be called “StudioOP” – delete the folder
and any remaining contents
3. Reinstall Studio OP v2.0 (in either 32-bit or 64-bit variant).
4. Attempt to reproduce your previous issue. If it still occurs, please contact your local
Datamine representative for more information and guidance.

32 VS. 64 BIT – TECHNICAL NOTE
Studio OP V2.0 is available in both 32 and 64-bit versions
There’s a lot of misinformation surrounding 32- vs. 64-bit systems so to avoid confusion we
recommend reading the following notes.
Using a 64-bit software version of a program instead of its 32-bit equivalent can have very
positive results, but only if the environment in which it is running is appropriate.
Technical Note on 64-bit System Output
Due to compilation differences on 32-bit and 64-bit targets, minor numerical differences of less
than 0.001% may be seen in the results of the 64-bit version of Studio when compared to the
32-bit version. These are down to the inherent restriction of how computers represent and
process floating point values, and should not be regarded as an error.
In brief:
• A program running in a 32-bit Windows® operating system can access up to 2 Gigabytes
(2048 MB) of memory in one go by default, but this is extended in Studio 3 and Studio
OP to 3GB by using a “Large Address Aware” switch.
o This 3GB limit includes the ‘room’ needed for the operating system itself, and
other system resources such as the graphics card and motherboard BIOS.
Applications have to share whatever is left.
o 32-bit operating systems can only deal with data in 32-bit-sized data ‘chunks’.
o 32-bit operating systems can only run 16-bit or 32-bit applications.
o Even if you install them under a 64-bit operating system, 32-bit programs (e.g.
Studio 3) can only access a maximum of 4GB with a Large Address Aware
configuration. In reality, the available system resources will be lower than 3GB
as the OS will be using some of the available space, as will other applications
and processes.
• In theory, a 64-bit machine can access up to 17.2 BILLION gigabytes (16 Exabytes) of
system memory, but this is dependent on the operating system in use, which in our
case is Windows as other platforms aren’t currently supported.
o Your flavour of Windows matters: What many people don’t realise, is that
some Windows versions deliberately restrict access to the full system resources
through licensing.
11
Windows 64-bit Home editions are deliberately limited to 16 GB of RAM, but the
Professional and Ultimate versions can use up to 192 GB of RAM – this should
be enough for even the most ambitious modelling projects.
o 64-bit operating systems can transfer data around in larger chunks, if an
application can create data of this resolution.
o 32- and 64-bit applications can run on a 64-bit operating system; the 32-bit
version will still be restricted to 2GB (or 3GB) of memory. A 64-bit version can
access more memory providing it is physically available.
o Hardware matters too: A 64-bit operating system sitting on a machine with
4GB of RAM won’t show much benefit over a 32-bit system, and may actually
run with degraded performance.
Scenarios and FAQs
• I have a 64-bit operating system - is it worth me installing a 64-bit version of Studio?
If you are running with more than 4GB of RAM on your system then it could be
advantageous. If your system has 8GB of RAM or higher installed, it is highly
recommended that you install the 64-bit system. Systems with less memory may not
benefit from higher memory accessibility and may even see increased memory
limitations due to the additional memory required by the 64-bit architecture.
• I have an 8GB machine running Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit edition). If I install 64-bit
Studio, will I be able to load more data than Studio OP’s 32-bit version?
Yes – a lot more.
• Do I need a 64-bit web browser for Customization window functions in the 64-bit edition
of Studio?
No – the Customization window will continue to access whatever browser is set as the
default on your system.
• What about ODBC drivers? Does the 64-bit edition of Studio require 64-bit ODBC data
sources to operate?
The implications of Microsoft’s 32- and 64-bit ODBC driver policy are detailed in the
technical note: Technical_Note_0124_64_bit_ODBC_Connections.pdf”, available
from the Downloads section of the Datamine website.
In brief, 64-bit applications will attempt to connect to a 64-bit ODBC data source. If you
have a 32-bit edition of Microsoft Office installed, you will need to modify your system
to access these ODBC drivers from Datamine Studio.
If you have 64-bit Editions of Microsoft Office products installed, you will be able to
connect directly to the 64-bit drivers installed by the Office suite of applications.
• Will my system run more quickly with a 64-bit version of Studio (compared to the 32-
bit version)?
A 64-bit application will allow data of a higher resolution to be passed between the
various switchboards of your system, but this is unlikely to result in an increase in
12
system performance (this will be limited by a mix of other elements, such as the speed
at which your HD can access disk data, the CPU frequency, Graphics card capabilities
and other architectural influences).
Where you are likely see improvements is where a process involves the loading of large
amounts of data - in this case, you will be able to work with more data in RAM without
having to read from disk as frequently.
In short – a 64-bit application cannot ‘speed up’ your machine; it can only allow you to
access more RAM, and send data around in bigger packets.
• Will the 64-bit system deliver improved graphics?
No. This is controlled by your systems visualization capabilities and is outside the
influence of Studio.
• Will 64-bit systems contain more features than 32-bit versions?
There are no plans to diverge the development of 32- and 64-bit versions of our
products, and both installer versions will derive from the same source code. In the
future, this situation may change.
• Will 32- and 64-bit systems be released at the same time?
The current plan is to release both versions concurrently as independent 32- and 64-
bit installer packages.
• Can I install a 64-bit edition of Studio if I have a 32-bit operating system?
No - you will not be able to proceed with this installation. 64-bit Studio editions can
only be installed on 64-bit operating system platforms. This restriction applies to all
Windows® applications.
• Can I install a 32-bit edition of Studio if I have a 64-bit operating system?
If you really want to. 32-bit Studio instances can be installed on a 64-bit OS, but you
should be aware that it will not take advantage of system resources as effectively as
our dedicated 64-bit application running in an appropriately resourced 64-bit operating
system.
With 8GB or more RAM available, 32-bit Studio will not benefit from access to more
memory but the 64 bit OS and extra ram will allow more applications to run at the same
time without swapping, so the system may benefit from better multitasking.
• Can I swap data and/or projects between 32- and 64-bit systems?
Yes, the data you are creating is no different between each system – the difference is
in the operating system environment in which the data is being processed. Providing
you aren’t trying to load projects from a newer version to an older version of Studio OP
(Datamine cannot support backwards compatibility of projects), 32- and 64-bit systems
are fully-compatible.
• Does Studio automatically install a 64-bit application if my operating system allows it?
No. Independent 32- and 64-bit Studio OP installers are available from your Datamine
representative and online support portal. You will need to choose which one you want
before you download and install it.
13
• Will I be able to run Studio OP alongside Studio 3/RM/EM/5D Planner….?
Yes. Datamine applications are ‘COM-isolated’ and have been deliberately configured to
allow simultaneous usage of Studio family products, providing a valid license is available
for each running application. You do not need to uninstall Studio 3 to install Studio OP.
• Do I have to uninstall my other Datamine applications before I install Studio?
With one exception his isn’t necessary. Studio OP will upgrade any previous version of
itself, and can be installed happily alongside other Datamine products. Datamine QA
staff routinely run an extensive range of ‘side-by-side’ checks as mandatory exit criteria
for a public release of our software.
Here’s the exception: if you wish to install a 64-bit version of Studio OP and have
already installed a 32-bit version (or vice versa) with an identical version number, you
should uninstall the existing copy of Studio OP before installing the alternative,
identically numbered version.
• How much system memory does Studio use?
This depends entirely on what you're doing, what data you have loaded, how much
priority your operating system is assigning to the various processes etc. A 'base'
memory footprint of around 130-140Mb is normal, but this will vary as your session
continues.
• Will Studio run under Windows 8?
Yes, all Datamine products released after June 2015 are supported under the Windows
8 and 8.1 operating systems (with the exception of Microsoft’s educational supplements
due to their restricted driver and networking capabilities).
• Will Studio OP run under Windows 10?
Studio OP v2.0 is fully supported under the Windows 10 operating system.
14
THE SUMMIT WINDOW – GETTING STARTED
Introducing the SUMMIT window
Studio OP 2.0 provides seamless access to Datamine’s Summit web reporting, 3D visualization
capabilities and mining domain apps.
Upload your data and allow others in your organization, potentially anywhere in the world, to
understand it and visualize it immediately. No more lengthy FTP uploads, lagging remote
desktop sessions or oversized email attachments. Summit also provides a host of dedicated
apps that allow you to process and analyse your data in a shared, secure environment.
• How do I access SUMMIT from within Studio OP?
1. Using the Home ribbon, select Project | Options and navigate to the
Environment tab and the Summit panel
2. Set your startup preference using the check box Show Summit Page on Startup
3. Select Login or Sign Up
4. New accounts may take up to 48 hours to be activated. Your company
administrator will provide an invitation email to your secure company email
address.
• How do I subscribe to a Datamine SUMMIT solution?
For all subscription enquiries, either visit summit1.dataminesoftware.com to sign up, or
contact your local Datamine office for more guidance.
• Can I have a demo of SUMMIT in action?
Absolutely. Your local Datamine office will be happy to organize this with you so give
them a call. You can also find out more about Summit from the Datamine website:
www.dataminesoftware.com
• Are Datamine planning to provide SUMMIT access via other Studio products in the
future?
Studio OP already includes it, and Studio UG will include the Summit feature in future
versions, scheduled for 2016. Studio EM users can also access the Summit facility, but
this will require purchase of an additional license.
• I currently subscribe to a Summit “App” such as SOPP – can I use data uploaded from
Studio as part of a cloud case study?
Certainly. Summit is an online data management, visualization and functional domain.
Once data is uploaded, and providing you have access to it/them, you can utilize your
workspace data in other Summit applications.
• Can I download processed data from Summit into Studio products directly?
15
Not yet, but we have plans to implement the two-way data transfer in all desktop
products in due course.
• I want to show my data to someone in a remote office. They have access to SUMMIT.
What’s the best plan?
It couldn’t be easier – upload your data via the dedicated Summit portal in Studio OP.
All you need to do then is assign it to a shared workspace, and let your recipient know
it is there, so they can log in and see it. You can even send them a Hyperlink that will
allow them to access a visualization immediately.
