Shot Peen Process Inputs
Shot Peen provides the following setup options:
Percentage of Part/Assembly Surface Area to be Shot Peened
By default in starting point VPEs, the area shot peened in one cycle is half the surface area of the part or assembly. Administrators can customize the default, and specify the default percentage of the total area to be shot peened, by using the cost model variable defaultShotPeenArea (50% in starting point VPEs). Users can override the default percentage on a per-part basis with this setup option. See also Shot Peen Formulas.
Material for Shot Peen Media
The default media material in starting point VPEs is iron silicate. Administrators can customize the default with the cost model variable defaultShotPeenMediaType. Users can override the media material on a per-part basis with this setup option. See also Shot Peen Formulas.
Cost of Media
By default, media cost is looked up by Material for Shot Peen Media in the tool shop Tool Materials. Users can override the default, and specify a cost per Kg with this setup option. See also Shot Peen Formulas.
Percentage of Media Recycled from 1 Part
By default in starting point VPEs, 80% of used shot can be recycled. Administrators can customize the default percentage with the cost model variable percentRecycledShot. Users can override the default on a per-part basis with this setup option. See also Shot Peen Formulas.
