Adding machine and material data
Add machine, material type, and stock data to a Digital Factory when the Digital Factory does not contain the machines or materials used by your facility.
If you want to add a large number of machines or materials to the Digital Factory, we recommend that you export the Digital Factory data and add the new machines or materials in Excel, then import it. For more information, see Importing Digital Factory Data from Excel.
Material hardness
By default, most material hardness values are set to “0.00” in the Digital Factory Manager “Materials” UI. In this case, aPriori cost models will derive a reasonable hardness value from internal tables at costing time, if you have a specific hardness value that you want to be used for costing, you can provide an override value.
