Released 18^th January 2021

Known Issues

  Information

1. For generation of the Exclusion Zone Surface, flyrock generated by Stemming Ejection and Cratering is assumed to have an initial trajectory of the sum of the hole angle and the dispersion angle, up to a maximum of 45°. Flyrock generated by Face Burst is assumed to have an initial trajectory of 45°.
2. The high resolution surface increases the number of points used to represent potential flyrock travel trajectories, and the sampling rate of these points used to generate the Exclusion Surface. Generating a high resolution Exclusion Surface, especially for larger blasts, can result in longer calculation times and may result in SHOTPlus™ being unresponsive for a period of time until the surface has been calculated and rendered.
3. Hole track information can be turned on or off via the Visibility Manager on the main SHOTPlus™ window.
4. The Zone of Influence view is not available when comparing design to actual powder factor or energy factor.
