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.

Improved Estimates and Cut Depths for Enlarged Pocket GCDs in 2-Model Machining: This release improves the estimates for rough-milling pocket features that are present in a cast or forged part but then enlarged by machining in the finished part. Previously, for enlarged pockets with angled (tapered) walls , aPriori sometimes selected overly large rough-milling tools and/or overly large cut depths that didn’t properly reflect that the pocket is simply being enlarged not fully machined and that only a relatively small depth of material along the pocket walls and floor needs to be removed

As a result of this change, compared to a previous release, aPriori now may select smaller tools and smaller axial and radial cut depths to enlarge pocket GCDs in the 2-Model Machining process group, resulting in larger cycle time and cost estimates.
