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
