Features
2DBench
surface blast design and analysis
2DBench can design and analyse any blast in plan view, such as bench blasts in open cut or underground, ramps, trenches, sumps and contour blasts, and also shafts, rises and winzes.
- Options for creating and modifying patterns of blast holes include:
- row by row, polygon fill, follow line, baseline template
- adjust collars or toes to a surface or plane
- save as a template: holes, decks, delays
- Versatile options for charging and timing
- load decks by length, mass, collar, percentage, cartridge
- place downhole delays by length, deck, elevation
- fully customisable decks and pyrotechnic and electronic delays
- Analyse, benchmark and optimise blasts for:
- Powder and Volume Factors
- Detonation Simulation with scatter, Detonation Contours
- Burden Relief and Relief Rate
- Energy and Damage Contours in plan or section
- Max. Instantaneous Charge and Scaled-Distance Vibration
- Kuz-Ram and JKFines Fragmentation
- Contour multiple values at blastholes
- Copy/paste all data directly to/from a spreadsheet or text
- Print blast plans and analysis images to scale
- Compatible with JKSimBlast v3

2DRing
underground blast design and analysis
2DRing can design and analyse blasts with holes arranged in planes, with each plane at any orientation, including longhole and sub-level stoping, narrow vein, drawbells, horodiam.
- 2DRing has several methods for creating blast holes:
- multiple holes around 360° fan by toe spacing or equal angle
- trim, stand-off or overdrill blast holes to any boundary line
- drill from multiple centres and drives
- overlay adjacent rings
- drill to breakthrough (drives, voids)
- Versatile options for charging and timing
- fully customise deck and delay properties
- charge by length, mass, uncharged collar, or collar spacing
- auto deck charging by energy distribution
- Analyse, benchmark and optimise blasts for:
- Detonation Simulation with scatter, Detonation Contours
- Energy and Damage Contours in plan or section
- Max. Instantaneous Charge and Scaled-Distance Vibration
- FragmentO analysis for fragmentation and ring burden
- Copy/paste all data directly to/from a spreadsheet or text
- Print blast plans and analysis images to scale
- Compatible with JKSimBlast v3
2DFace
tunnel blast design and analysis
2DFace is optimised for holes drilled from a plane within a profile, such as tunnels, shafts, rises
- Specific tools for tunnel profiles and drill holes
- create tunnel outlines from templates, drawn or imported shapes
- drill charge and relief holes, or create from pre−defined cut templates
- drill multiple holes along backs, sides and floor
- built−in digitiser − create blasts from images and photos
- Versatile options for charging and timing
- fully customise deck and delay properties
- charge by length, mass, uncharged collar, or collar spacing
- Analyse, benchmark and optimise blasts for:
- Detonation Simulation with scatter
- Detonation Contours
- Burden Relief
- Energy and Damage Contours in plan or section
- Max. Instantaneous Charge and Scaled−Distance Vibration
- Copy/paste all data directly to/from a spreadsheet or text
- Print blast plans and analysis images to scale
- Compatible with JKSimBlast v3
JKBMS
data management
JKBMS provides tools to store and access information related to blasts. It works with the design modules – 2DBench, 2DRing, 2DFace – to link blasts and some analyses.
- JKBMS uses a tree-like layout to organise objects:
- hierarchical structure determined by the user
- built in objects for blasts, pits, benches, drives, rock masses, joints, fragmentation, vibration, etc
- attach external files and activate associated applications: documents, images, videos, etc
- review blasts in tree and open directly in design module
- add custom objects to tree, for better organisation and representation
- cut/copy/paste objects within tree
- prune tree and save to new database, insert into other databases
- directly manage blasts in design module databases
- Most data is linked, not stored in the database, to minimise database file size
- Integrated plan viewer can show multiple bench blasts – view entire benches or pits
- Integrated 3D viewer can show blasts, analyses and surfaces
- show multiple blasts in full 3D: holes, decks, delays
- replay detonation simulation
- show multiple energy and damage contour analyses
- generate surfaces from survey points files

TimeHEx
extended timing analysis
extended timing analysis
2DView provides basic 3D viewing of all blasts and extended versions of the energy and contouring analysis.
- 3D perspective view of blasts from any direction
- calculate energy distribution analysis in any defined plane
- calculate contours of selected values attached to blast holes
TimeHEx (TIME vs Holes and EXplosives) analyses the effects of timing and charge mass.
- calculate blast-induced vibration based on arrival time at a specified point, using the scaled-distance rule
- calculate maximum instantaneous charge with variable time window
- calculate rate of consumption of explosive (kg/ms) for selected decks
- display detonated holes relative to selected bars in chart
