Moldmaking Variables
 
Variable Name
Description
defaultSandManualFloor
Plant default for sand: 'chemBond' or 'greenSand' used in Manual Floor moldmaking
defaultSandManualPit
Plant default for sand: 'chemBond' or 'greenSand' used in Manual Pit moldmaking
defaultSandManualStandard
Plant default for sand: 'chemBond' or 'greenSand' used in Manual Standard moldmaking
furnaceTapRate
See the formula for Furnace Tap Time in Pour.
strainerCoreCost
Cost of strainer per part (used in Expendable Tooling Cost)
Max Complexity Multiplier Scrap
Good Part Yield: Multiplier for maximum value of complexity
Num Core Coefficient
Good Part Yield: Effect of number of cores
Num Surface Coefficient
Good Part Yield: Effect of number of surfaces
Material Yield Ductile
Material Yield: Baseline percent material yield for ductile iron
Material Yield Steel
Material Yield: Baseline percent material yield for steel
Material Yield Copper
Material Yield: Baseline percent material yield for coppers and bronzes
Material Yield Aluminum
Material Yield: Baseline percent material yield for aluminum
Material Yield Zinc
Material Yield: Baseline percent material yield for zinc
Material Yield Gray
Material Yield: Baseline percent material yield for gray cast iron
Num Cavities Material Yield Add
Material Yield: Additional percent per cavity
Cavity Ceiling
Material Yield: Maximum additional percent yield for cavity consideration
largePartThreshold
Threshold at which a part is considered too large to support multiple cavities or parts per mold. See Number of Mold Cavities. Exceeding this threshold also triggers inclusion of Degating in the current routing. See Sand Casting Process-level Routing.
Low End Thickness
Material Yield: Used to access multiplier for chunkiness.
High End Thickness
Material Yield: Used to access multiplier for chunkiness
Low end Multiplier
Material Yield: Lowest multiplier for chunkiness
High End Multiplier
Material Yield: Highest multiplier for chunkiness
