HxGN MinePlan Block Model Manager
About HxGN MinePlan Block Model Manager
Launched in 2023, HxGN MinePlan Block Model Manager enables users to simultaneously design, populate, manage, and share block models while centrally managing massive volumes of sample points, variables, and outputs. It provides version-to-version comparisons, support for all major block model types regardless of origin, background conversion and synchronisation, API access for custom analytics, and integration with MinePlan 3D, Datamine, Vulcan, and CSV sources.
Block models are the fundamental digital twin of a mine's mineral resources — the single source of truth connecting geological interpretation to reserve estimates, production planning, and operational decisions. The Block Model Manager addresses a longstanding industry pain point: block models created in different software packages are difficult to share, version, and compare without specialist tools.
The product sits within Hexagon's broader HxGN MinePlan suite and is designed to serve both mine site geologists and corporate resource teams who need a central, auditable record of block model evolution over the life of a mine.

3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA
by Dassault Systèmes
The 3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA platform is Dassault's next-generation cloud-based mining solution providing a comprehensive, real-time view of mine business activity and operations. It hosts specialised roles covering the full mine lifecycle: Geology Modeler, Pit Optimizer, Strategic Mine Planner, Surface and Underground Mine Designer, and a full suite of caving roles including Cave Footprint Finder, Cave Planning Manager, Cave Scheduler, and Cave Management System.
Akselos Integra
by Akselos
Akselos Integra creates sensor-calibrated, physics-based digital twins of complex engineering structures. For mining, this means creating digital replicas of stackers, reclaimers, and shiploaders — the critical bulk materials handling equipment that operates continuously at mine sites and ports and represents enormous capital investment.
AnyLogic
by AnyLogic
AnyLogic provides virtual environments for analysis, testing, and optimisation of mining activities. The Fluid Library simplifies simulation of bulk material logistics and mining processes. Users model everything from excavation plans and equipment utilisation to load-and-haul operations, processing plant logistics, and mine-to-port supply chains across commodity types.
AVEVA Dynamic Simulation
by AVEVA
AVEVA Dynamic Simulation (formerly known as DYNSIM) models real-time, time-dependent behaviour of industrial processes using first-principles equipment models with rigorous thermodynamic and fluid flow calculations. It supports engineering validation, control system testing, and operator training by replicating dynamic plant conditions during startup, shutdown, normal, and emergency operations.
