Cost Model Changes that Do Not Affect Configured Digital Factories

The following changes do not affect costings with Digital Factories that use earlier cost model versions. The changes are available only in the latest cost model version.

  • Furnace Selection Logic (can impact overhead rates and costs): Previously the machine selection logic for the Melting furnace always considered only the volume of material to be melted for manufacture of a single part, and did not correctly account for multi-cavity molds. In this release, the selected furnace capacity considers the total volume of material required to fill all cavities in the mold. Due to this fix, aPriori may select a larger furnace than in previous releases when costing a casting with multiple cavities, resulting in different overhead rates and costs.
