Fillet Sealing Options
The Fillet Sealing process provides the following options:
Sealant Type
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 Additional Direct Costs in
Fillet Sealing Formulas.
Sealant Price
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 Additional Direct Costs in
Fillet Sealing Formulas.
Time to Seal per Length
This is the time per unit length required to apply the sealant (in seconds per millimeter). By default, it is specified by the machine property
Application Rate. Users can override the default with this setup option. This value drives cycle time—see
Fillet Sealing Formulas.
Length of Sealant Required
This is the total length of sealant to be applied. By default, this is assumed to be a certain fraction of the sum of the subcomponent perimeters (where each subcomponent's perimeter is twice the sum of its length and width). The fraction is specified by the cost model variable sealantFactor (0.1 in starting point VPEs). Users can override the default with this setup option.
This value drives cycle time and additional direct costs—see
Fillet Sealing Formulas.
