Output
Copilot model file
Enter the name to be given to the Copilot model file. The default name is CopilotModel.mmnnm. This file stores the trained neural network model. Once training has completed this file can be used as an input on the Input tab so that the modelled parameters can be generated for a new block model or a different set of points without needing to retrain the model.
Output Type
You have the option to create an output file or write the modelled values to a file that already exists. If you select one of the options the corresponding label will appear in the Tab tree on the left of the form.
-
Create Output – this will provide options to define the grid extents and the resolution/block size of the model. The output file type can be a Block Model file and/or a Volume file. Volume files can currently only store numerical data and will therefore lack the Categorical data.
-
Output to Existing – this option will produce a tab where an existing file can be selected. The existing file should have coordinate fields so that the modelled parameters can be inferred for those locations. You have the option to define additional guide fields when writing to an existing file.
Write distance values
When this is selected the distance from the block centre to the closest data point will be written to a field called Closest Distance in the output file. Using this option can slow the inference stage down, especially when the values for a very large number of locations are being inferred.
