Resolved Issues in Regional Data Libraries 2023-11

Corrected Material Fields

In the aPriori 2023-11 RDLs, the alternate names for RDL materials were reviewed and in some cases updated to ensure the correct correspondence between the USA Name and the DIN, EN, GB, and JIS Name.

Note that when using the aPrioriGermany and aPriori United Kingdom baseline digital factories, aPriori displays the DIN name and EN name, respectively, as the primary material name in the Material Selection dialog. For the six baseline materials listed below, the associated DIN name or EN name used previously was slightly incorrect and corresponded to a similar but not identical RDL material.

As a result, when a user now selects these materials, slightly different material property values may be used when analyzing a scenario, than in previous RDL releases. This is expected to have little to no meaningful impact on manufacturing estimates.
