The Fay Sealing process provides the following options:

This is the fraction of the total assembly surface area to be bonded. By default, this is specified by the cost model variable defaultPercentBonded (10% in starting point VPEs). Users can override the default with this setup option. Bonded area drives cycle time and expendable tooling costs—see Fay Sealing Formulas.

By default, sealant price is looked up by Sealant Type in the lookup table sealant. With this setup option, users can override the default.

Sealant price drives costs for sealant material—see Expendable Tooling Costs in Fay Sealing Formulas.

By default, sealant type is specified by the cost model variable defaultSealantType (B2 Corrosion Inhibitant in starting point VPEs). With this setup option, users can override the default, and select from the sealant types listed in the lookup table sealant.

Sealant type determines Sealant Price, by default, which drives costs for sealant material—see Expendable Tooling Costs in Fay Sealing Formulas.
