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.

  • Array Nesting Layout (no cost impact): This release provides a new GCD, PCB Array, which captures the array nesting layout from Gerber and ODB++ files, allowing end the user to view the proposed nesting from the design. In this release, the GCD is for informational purposes only, and so this change has no cost impact..

    The new GCD can be used to visually verify that the aPriori nesting diagram matches the designed nesting. In a future release, the PCB cost model will use the PCB Array GCD to compute material utilization for the designed nesting automatically.

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.

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.
