The AuScope Simulator is a toolkit of simulation, modelling, inversion and data mining tools, underpinned by parameters provided through the AuScope ‘Earth Composition and Evolution’ component. The AuScope simulator makes extensive use of software, techniques and expertise developed through the Australian Computational Earth Systems Simulator (ACcESS) Major National Research Facility.
The core capabilities of AuScope SAM have applications in industry, with the surveys and academia. Some demonstrators of SAM simulator infrastructure are described through our five primary application areas.

|
Tectonics and GeodynamicsA workflow for linking rigid plate kinematic models with mantle convection and plate deformation combined with a library of subduction process simulations. |
|
|
Mining & Mineral ProcessingNumerical modelling rock breakage and granular flow on all scales relevant to the minerals Industry, to provide the fundamental underpinning for development of frontier mass-mining and sustainable minerals processing operations. |

Exploration GeoscienceThe understanding of earth processes, and their influence on the spatial location and formation of earth resources such as mineral deposits, oil and gas, and geothermal energy sources. Exploration DemonstratorsApplication examples of SAM contributions to technology and expertise for predictive mineral discovery and understanding. |
