Optimisation Results for Sub-Blocks

The Optimisation Results for Sub-Blocks data source contains the values assigned by the optimiser(s) to each block, including sub-blocks as required, from the block model for the mine. It includes some attributes that are not included in the Optimisation Results for Regularised Blocks data source because those attributes are specified for sub-blocks and deriving corresponding values for the parent blocks is not straightforward.

This data source is equivalent to filtering the Optimisation Results by Increment for Sub-Blocks data source by StageParameterValue = 1.0.

It includes the following attributes:
