Creating a Patch

The mXrap team will often ask you to perform a "default backup" when providing support, or if you're adding new apps. This allows us to work on your root in the same state you're using it in, so any settings or customisations are visible to us. It is good practice to do default backups regularly, as it makes it easier to identify or roll back any breaking changes.

There are a number of essential and useful downloads available to mXrap users. Listed below are the most frequently downloaded files.

mXrap Training Programme

The Hazard Assessment application uses a grid-based approach to describe the seismic hazard throughout your mine. Each grid point essentially represents a seismic source with a specific frequency-magnitude relationship. A frequency-magnitude relationship is defined from the $M$, $Mmin$, $b$-value, and event rate. We've previously delved into $M{UL}$ in this post. We also discussed how $Mmin$ and $b$-value are calculated along with other gridding parameters in this post. The event rate is something we haven't taken a dive into yet, so we'll get into it in this post.

You can capture or save any 3D view, chart or table using the 'Clip' or 'File' options at the top-right of the mXrap window. There are additional image capturing controls available to increase the quality and to adjust what is captured in the image.

Most users are probably aware of the Quick Reference Guide in the Cheat Sheets. It lists all the mXrap shortcuts and hotkeys but it is spread over a few pages and can be a bit tough to find what you're looking for. Below is a one-page Quick Reference Guide for more of a visual lookup of the main controls. The controls for the new Annotations tool are not included but help for those controls is available in mXrap itself. Here is the PDF version of the one-page guide if you want to print a copy.

You know that energy and moment are parameters to describe seismic events. But what exactly is their physical meaning for a seismic event source and how are they calculated?

As mentioned in the last blog post, a stochastic declustering algorithm has been implemented in mXrap to separate events into 'clustered' and 'background' components. It can be useful when designing seismic exclusions and re-entry procedures to separate seismicity that occurs in short bursts from seismicity that has low variability in space and time. Short-term exclusions cannot be used to manage the risk associated with background seismicity, since the hazard inside a potential exclusion would be the same as outside the exclusion. Efficient exclusion and re-entry procedures target areas where seismicity is most clustered and where the seismic hazard to which people are exposed can be reduced with a short disruption to production.

Remeshing Variables

Bundles are a form of protection which we use to limit access to specific parts of mXrap applications.

There are a number of quality filters applied to the event database before they are displayed in mXrap. This does sometimes cause confusion because a particular event is visible in your other software, but not in mXrap.
