Material

Multi-material deposition is supported.

Deposition results are generated for each material if more than one Material is defined.

To view results for a specific material use Material List Box on the

Deposition Toolbar, or the

Vector Result Form.

Multi Material Deposition Results

Deposition is sequential, moving from one Deposition Point to the next.

For multi-material deposition, material throughput is distributed between Deposition Vectors in the same Deposition Sequence i.e., that have the same deposition order.

Fill times for deposition from a particular Deposition Vector are calculated using:

Fill volume

Material density

Material throughput

During simultaneous deposition this may result in some areas filling faster than others.

If this occurs, to maintain the material balance:

Throughput is re-distributed to other Deposition Vectors/Locations to maintain the material balance; use the Result Detail Form to view the material re-distribution.

The Complex Profile defined by the Deposition Vector is used to generate the deposited surface.

For upstream cyclone deposition, cyclone tailings is distributed using the underflow percentage for the material being deposited/re-distributed i.e. not the percentage underflow for the material specified by a Deposition Vector.

The entire tailings stream (all materials) is deposited by a single Deposition Vector if a sequence contains only one Vector.
