Adding New Plant Variables

This section provides an example of adding new plant variables (also known as cost model variables) to a process group. The example uses the sample custom process AbrasiveJet Cut, which is copied from Laser Cut, and will mimic Waterjet Cut (see Adding a New Process to a Process Group). An additional example is also included, to support a further customization related to cycle time padding.

This section includes the following subsections:

 Adding Plant Variables for a New Process

 Adding Plant Variables—Padding Cycle Time
