| | EZVol Volume Calculation Tool
The Ezvol program allows the user to calculate the volume
of a stockpile, based on a survey of the base perimeter plus a survey of the
surface of the stockpile itself. The
perimeter points are used to form a TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) which
represents the base of the stockpile. The
perimeter points plus stockpile points are used to form a second TIN, which
represents the surface of the stockpile. The volume between the two surfaces is the volume of the
stockpile. The program displays the stockpile volume in either cubic
feet or cubic meters. The user can
enter a density factor for the stockpile material, and the program will display
the total weight of the stockpile.
The user can display the
survey points, the Delaunay triangles which form each TIN, a contour plot of
stockpile thickness, or a 3-D solid mesh view of the stockpile. The 3-D display
can be viewed at any of eight different angles, and at a range of vertical
exaggeration scales
Current input options are Trimble POS file format, enCampo software format,
or generic XYZ data. Modules for importing other types of data can be
provided at a nominal cost.
