SAG Mill Breakage Tutorial Overview

The simulation shows the breaking of larger rocks due to impacts and grinding of smaller particles.

• Specification of mill dynamics (rotational movement)
• Creation of breakable materials
• Creation of dummy particles
• Set up the Tavares breakage model parameters
• Set up appropriate timestep
• Analyze the results through the Analyst
• Using the Breakage postprocessing tool
