Cost drivers | Description | |
---|---|---|
GCD | Name | The name and number that identifies the GCD. This information is an identifier only and is not used in any cost calculation. |
Properties | Volume (mm3) | The volume of the GCD. |
Axial Section Area (mm2) | Cross section area of the ring, for a plane passing through the axis of rotation. | |
Riser Area (mm2) | The total area of all ring-shaped planar faces (annulus) that are children of the ring. | |
Tread Area (mm2) | The total area of all curved wall (cylindrical) surfaces that are children of the ring. | |
Is Mirror Symmetric | True if the GCD has mirror symmetry about the tool axis; tool axis angle is specified via an isAbout relation. | |
Depth (mm) | The depth of the Ring GCD, as measured with respect to the Approach From direction (see below) | |
Approach From | The direction from which the machine tool approaches. Possible values include FACE_A, FACE_B, ID, OD, SLANTED, NONE. | |
Approach From Alt | An alternative direction of approach of the machine tool. Possible values include FACE_A, FACE_B, ID, OD, SLANTED, NONE. | |
Accessibility | Directions from which the GCD can be entered. Possible values include SIDE_A, SIDE_B, THROUGH, UNDERCUT, OBSCURED, UNKNOWN. | |
Min Wall Thickness (mm) | The minimum wall thickness of the GCD. | |
Technique | Requested | The technique selected by you. If you have not selected a technique, this field is set to auto-select. |
Selected | The technique used by aPriori. If the requested technique cannot be used, aPriori will select a technique that can be used. | |
Results | Time(s) | The time (in seconds) that it takes to machine the GCD or complete work on a technique. If there is more than one occurrence of the GCD or technique, this field shows the sum of the occurrences. |
Status | The costing status of the GCD or technique. A green icon indicates that costing was successful; a yellow icon indicates that costing succeeded with a warning, and a red icon indicates that costing failed. |
