Modifying Taxonomy Modules

This section contains an example of modifying a process taxonomy module. The example uses the custom process AbrasiveJet Cut (see Adding a New Process to a Process Group), and focuses on the high-level cycle time formulas. The first two sections sketch how to modify the AbrasiveJet Cut (which is copied from Laser Cut) so that its cycle time calculations mimic those of Waterjet Cut. The last section illustrates a further customization.

This section includes the following subsections:

 Modifying the Formula Table

 Modifying the Cycle Time Formulas

 Padding Cycle Time by Adding a Constant
