Multi-Spindle Machining

Geometry or Cost Engine Changes that Could Impact Configured Digital Factories

The following changes might impact costing, even for Digital Factories that use earlier cost model versions.

  • Chains of Adjacent Surfaces (impacts operation assignment, tool selection, and cycle time): This release extends the previous release's improvements to the recognition of adjacent surfaces that are likely to be finished with the same side milling tool. As a result of this change, some surfaces that were previously assigned side milling are now assigned a more approrpiate operation.

    As a result of this change, cycle times may change slightly, compared to the previous release.

    Note:

    To access this improved functionality you must usethe latest cost model version for the Machining process group (CMV 320) and the latest cost model version for Multi-Spindle Machining (CMV 40).

Bug Fixes or Small Improvements to Prior Cost Model Versions

The following changes might impact costing for Digital Factories that use earlier cost model versions.

  • NO IMPACT

Cost Model Changes that don't 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.
