Abstract
Comuter models of blasting (and orther mining activities) should yield a huge improvement in blasting results, both by elimination bad designs before they are implemented and by fine tuning designs which already work well. The reason computer models are not in widespread use is the enormous frustration experienced by production engineers who try to use them. Most computer programs which implement sophisticated models are specialised, exactings intricate and unique. That is: they are limited, tedious, confusing and unfamilar. A new approach combines traditional computer aided design, using graphical displays, with computational analysis. This makes modelling one part of a design process which also included the functions of editing and reporting. The prototype software, known as 3x3 because it applies editing analysis and reporting to drilling, charging and sequencing, has been well received. The prototypes are currently being tested in mines in Australia, Canada, Chile and Papua New Guinea. (orig.).
