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 | Area (mm2) | The area of the GCD in a flattened state. |
Sec Diameter (mm) | The diameter of the smallest circle that will fit around the GCD. | |
Mec Diameter (mm) | The diameter of the largest circle fitting into the hole. | |
Perimeter (mm) | The sum of the lengths of all edges in the contour. | |
SER Length (mm) | The length of the smallest enclosing rectangle. | |
SER Width (mm) | The width of the smallest enclosing rectangle. | |
Tolerance/Profile of Surface (mm) | The most constraining tolerance among the dimensions defining the GCD. You can view it as a +/- tolerance. Tolerance is persisted and computed as a total tolerance by the system. Note: If set to <unspecified>, aPriori assumes that the chosen manufacturing process and operations have sufficient tolerance capability to manufacture the GCD. | |
Roughness (µm) | The average roughness of the GCD surface. Note If set to <unspecified>, aPriori assumes that the chosen manufacturing process and operations have sufficient surface finish capability to manufacture the GCD. | |
Chamfer Direction | Indicates the direction of the chamfer with respect to the main surface. Possibilities include UP, DOWN, BOTH, EITHER, and UNKNOWN. | |
Flange Direction | Indicates the direction of the flange with respect to the main surface. Possibilities include UP, DOWN, BOTH, EITHER, and UNKNOWN. | |
Is Chamfered | Indicates whether or not the edges of the GCD are chamfered. If true, the edges are chamfered. | |
Is Flanged | Indicates whether or not the GCD has flange. If true, the GCD has a flange. | |
Max Radius (mm) | The maximum radius of curvature for non-straight edges in the contour. Equals 0 if all edges are straight. | |
Min Radius (mm) | The minimum radius of curvature for non-straight edges in the contour. | |
Number of Coining Chains | The number of contiguous chains of coined edges. | |
Num Curved Edges | The number of non-straight edges in the contour. | |
Num Edges | The number of edges in the contour. | |
Num Straight Edges | The number of straight edges in the contour. | |
Worst Peninsular Ratio | The maximum (Peninsula Length/Peninsula Width) for all peninsula on a contour. Peninsula are the outstanding tabs on a contour of blank or complex hole.(“Peninsular ratio” used for the stamping processes such as progressive die to determine what elements on a part can be grouped together for punching.) | |
Worst Peninsular Ration2 | The maximum (Peninsula Length/Peninsula Width2) in 1/mm. Peninsula are the outstanding tabs on a contour of blank or complex hole. | |
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 | 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. |
