SAG Mill Internal Process Mechanics Simulation

This simulation (intended to run in a 16:9 format) enables users to experiment with the different forces at work in relation to SAG or Ball Mill operations: speed, material volume, weight, liner type, and more, all in real time. While the project was built on a platform using the nVidia Titan X, the game has been run in various environments and should run smoothly on a majority of machines. There is a build for Mac, Windows, and WebGL for embedding this mini game within a web page. User manual and disclaimers are included within every .zip package.
