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.

  • Material Specified in Bulk Costing & Analysis Dialog Now Applied During GCD Extraction (can impact routings, times, and costs): This release resolves an issue where the material specified in the Bulk Costing & Analysis dialog was not correctly applied during GCD extraction, causing material-dependent GCDs to be computed incorrectly.

    As a result of this change, the manufacturability assessment for holes (cast, fully machined, or partially machined) may change in bulk costing results, compared to the previous release. The manufacturability assessment can affect routings, times, and costs.

    Note:

    Bulk Costing via spreadsheet input was not affected by this issue, and its results will not change compared to the previous release.

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 (CMV130).
