Mine Design: Examples Using Simulation

By John R. Sturgul

Solve everyday mining problems quickly and easily by applying the GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System) computer language. Part I of this book reviews mining simulation and describes why the GPSS/H simulation language was selected. Part II provides an overview of the language itself to help you maximize the mining examples contained on the included CD, which present a variety of mining operations and include GPSS/H programs. You don't need computer language experience to use these; you can run the programs by keying in a simple list of instructions. If you are more experienced with the language, you can modify one or more of the programs to suit your particular problem. All examples are interactive--you are prompted to input data for the simulation and then run the animation to view your mining operation.
