3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA · GEOVIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
Experience the power of GEOVIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform: one virtual twin, every discipline on the same model.
GEOVIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform gives mining companies, engineers, geoscientists and planners a comprehensive, real-time view of their work and ecosystem, and connects people, ideas, data and solutions in a single collaborative environment. ACALA licenses it, sets up the roles, and trains your teams in Indonesia.
Why the platform
Assess a project’s value before breaking ground, then keep everyone on the same page after.
3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA lets you design and optimise a project well before construction begins, analyse and embed the sustainability of the operation, centralise and manage all your data, and work with colleagues from anywhere in the world.
Decide on a twin, not a file
Create virtual twins of the earth’s surface, subsurface and infrastructure, run scenarios on them, visualise assets and processes, test ideas and explore the impact of decisions.
One environment, every discipline
Geologists, engineers, planners, surveyors and management connect to one model. Ideas, data and solutions move through the platform instead of email attachments.
Well-founded decisions
The result is decisions that improve operational efficiency and optimise resource use, with the sustainability of the operation analysed rather than assumed.
What the platform does
From the first drill hole to the daily dashboard.
A virtual twin of the deposit and the site
Surface, subsurface and infrastructure in one model that everyone reads the same way.
Geology
- Drill holes, samples and structural data managed in the platform.
- Implicit geological modelling that updates as new data arrives.
- Block models and resource estimates connected to their inputs.
Site
- Topography, pit and underground designs, infrastructure and environment in one space.
- 3D visualisation shared with stakeholders without a specialist licence.
Scenarios before ground is broken
Nearly limitless what-ifs on the twin: designs, sequences, prices, costs and constraints.
Planning
- Strategic and tactical planning roles connected to the same model as the geology.
- Pit optimisation, design and scheduling results compared side by side.
Sustainability
- The environmental and social footprint of an option analysed alongside its value.
- Rehabilitation and closure considered from the first design, not the last.
All data centralised, versioned, governed
A single source of truth replaces folders of files that drift apart.
Data management
- Models, designs and schedules stored with history, ownership and approval status.
- Search across projects; the current version is always the one people open.
Governance
- Access by role, so contractors and consultants see what they need and nothing more.
- An audit trail for reporting, compliance and due diligence.
Everyone on the same model, from anywhere
Real-time view of work activity and ecosystem for site, office and head office.
Working together
- Communities, tasks and reviews attached to the model they concern.
- Comments and mark-ups in 3D instead of screenshots in email.
Dashboards
- Interactive dashboards for production, plan versus actual and resource status.
- Management sees the state of the mine without asking for a report.
Your GEOVIA tools, connected
The platform does not replace Surpac, Whittle and MineSched. It connects them.
The desktop products you know keep doing their jobs. The platform holds their data and results so the geologist’s block model, the planner’s pit shells and the scheduler’s periods stay one story. ACALA helps you decide which roles to start with and sets them up on your data.

Short how-to notes for 3DEXPERIENCE
9 notes from the support team, one task each, with the menu path and the settings shown. They sit next to the courses, so a question that comes up in training has an answer you can send.
