The 3-D visual simulator of top coal caving and its application
Abstract
The basic principle and method of 3-D visual simulator of longwall top-coal caving(LTC) technology in FMF are introduced in this paper. Blocks-substitution theory is applied in the program of simulator generated by software VC++5 and OpenGL. The main parameters of LTC, such as seam pitch, control distance, control height breaking angle of top coal, control type etc., are input to the simulator and the reasonable results are obtained.
