Calculate Casted Material

This quantity valuation offers you the material quantity calculation for casted materials, so that this rather complex calculation needn't be calculated and documented outside FACTON.

Alternatively, you can conduct an initial simple calculation if not all details of the quantity calculation are available and you can only enter the quantity.

Use the checkbox for this:

• Detailed Quantity Calculation

  • For an initial, simple material quantity calculation

• Detailed Quantity Calculation (default)

  • For the detailed material quantity calculation

 

The price per kg is determined using value rules based on dimensions

Further Information on material pricing, see Value rules at a material

 

The following example shows the detailed use of a material quantity calculation:

• Calculate Casted Material
• • Step 1: Create Should Cost Calculation
  • Step 2: Insert a Material (Mass)

 

Step 1: Create Should Cost Calculation

Further Information > Create Should Cost Calculation

 

Step 2: Insert a Material (Mass)

By selecting the Calculate Casted Material quantity valuation, a more extended calculation logic becomes available.

 

Insert a Local Material (Mass)

1. Select the should cost calculation in the Structure view.
2. In the ribbon, click on Edit > Insert > Insert New Local Material (Mass).

   A local material is added under the should cost calculation.

3. In the Details view > Calculation view scheme (combobox), select the following quantity valuation:

   • Calculate Casted Material

4. Define the following properties for the material in the Details view > Calculation view scheme (combobox):

   Valuation	*Calculate Costs
   Quantity Valuation	Calculate Casted Material
   Detailed Quantity Calculation
   Density	7.85 g / cm³
   Net Weight of Casted Part	0.50 kg / pc
   Number of cavities	4.00
   Machined Parts
   Weight of the Machined Part	0.35 kg / pc
   Gating and Feeders
   Weight of Gating System and Feeders	1.40 kg
   Melting Loss
   Melting Loss	0.15 kg
   Price Source	Standard
   Price per Unit	23.00 EUR / kg
   Refund per Unit	15.00 EUR / kg

Based on the input, the following values are calculated:

Input	Calculates the
Volume of Casted Part ( Consider Volume)	Volume of Machined Part Weight of Chips Share of Weight of Chips on Weight of Machined Part
Weight of the Machined Part ( Machined Parts)	Volume of Machined Part Relevant Weight of Machined Part Relevant Volume of Machined Part
Net Weight of Casted Part	Volume of Casted Part Weight of Chips Share of Weight of Chips on Weight of Machined Part
Number of Cavities	Weight of all Cavities
Weight of Gating System and Feeders ( Gating and Feeders)	Share of Gating System and Feeders Based on Weight of all Cavities Volume of Gating System and Feeders Weight of Gating System and Feeders per Part Shot Weight Shot Volume
Melting Loss > Melting Loss ( Gating and Feeders)	Melting Loss in % Based on Shot Weight Melting Loss in % Based on Net Weight Casted Part Melting Loss in % Based on Net Weight Machined Part Weight of Recirculated Material of Gating System and Feeders Share of Recirculated Material of Gating System and Feeders
Melting Loss > Feeder System Loss Rate ( Gating and Feeders)	Feeder System Loss (Fettling) Weight of Recirculated Material of Gating Systems and Feeders Share of Recirculated Material of Gating System and Feeders

 

After all inputs, the following costs are calculated and displayed as rounded figures in the Details view > Calculation view scheme (combobox):
