JKSimMet
About JKSimMet
JKSimMet integrates data analysis, mass balancing, model fitting, optimisation, design, and simulation within one package for comminution and classification circuit analysis. It includes validated models for crushers, autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mills, ball mills, rod mills, screens, and hydrocyclones — all built on decades of JKMRC research into comminution fundamentals.
Designed for plant metallurgists optimising circuit performance and design engineers assessing configuration alternatives, JKSimMet predicts product flows, size distributions, power draw, and throughput under varying feed conditions and operating parameters. Version 6 is the current release. The software is a closed package — users cannot add custom process models — which distinguishes it from more open platforms like SysCAD or METSIM, but simplifies deployment for operations focused specifically on comminution circuit work.
JKSimMet is used worldwide across base metals, precious metals, and bulk commodity operations. It is particularly valued for its integration with JKTech's accredited ore characterisation testing program, providing a continuous pathway from ore hardness testing through circuit modeling to operational optimisation.

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.
