Calculate Sheet

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

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

• Calculate Sheet
• • Step 1: Create Should Cost Calculation
  • Step 2: Insert a Material (Mass)
  • • Extend Material Calculation
    • Calculation Method
    • • Calculation Method "Feeds"
      • Calculation Method "Parts"
      • Calculation Method "Material Utilization"

 

Step 1: Create Should Cost Calculation

Further Information > Create Should Cost Calculation

 

Step 2: Insert a Material (Mass)

By selecting the Calculate Sheet 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:

Calculation Method "Feeds"

Inputs for sheet materials with the "Feeds" method & Detailed Length Calculation

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

Valuation	*Calculate Costs
Quantity Valuation	Calculate Sheet
Detailed Quantity Calculation

Refund per Unit	15.00 EUR / kg

Based on the input, the following values are calculated:

Input	Calculates the
Sheet Width (w) Sheet Thickness (t)	Cross Sectional Area
Sheet Length (l)	Volume Gross Weight Weight per Length
Sheet Remaining Length Start (ls) Sheet Remaining Length End (le)	Sheet Remaining Length
Feed Length	Sheet Weight per Feed Relevant Number of Feeds
Output per Feed	Output Gross Quantity

 

Calculation Method "Parts"

Inputs for sheet materials with the "Parts" method & Detailed Length Calculation

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

Valuation	*Calculate Costs
Quantity Valuation	Calculate Sheet
Density	7.85 g / cm³
Sheet Width (w)	440.00 mm
Sheet Thickness (t)	10.00 mm
Sheet Length (l)	3,000.00 mm
Calculation Method	Parts
Detailed Length Calculation
Sheet Remaining Length Start (ls)	30.00 mm
Sheet Remaining Length End (le)	20.00 mm
Sheet Remaining Width Start (ws)	10.00 mm
Sheet Remaining Width End (we)	30.00 mm
Part Length	75.00 mm
Part Width	120.00 mm
Nesting Quantity	2.00
Distance between Parts (ld)	2.00 mm
Distance between Parts (wd)	2.00 mm
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
Sheet Width (w), Sheet Thickness (t)	Cross-Sectional Area
Sheet Length (l)	Volume Gross Weight Weight per Length
Sheet Remaining Length Start (ls)	Sheet Remaining Length
Sheet Remaining Length End (le)
Sheet Remaining Width Start (ws)	Sheet Remaining Width
Sheet Remaining Width End (we)
Part Length, Part Width, Nesting Quantity	Part Weight Nested Part Weight Total Number of Parts Output Gross Quantity Relevant Quantity Total Quantity

Calculation Method "Material Utilization"

In addition to the calculation methods "Feeds" and "Parts", you can also choose "Material Utilization". Using this method, it can be defined how much material of the whole sheet is actually used (e. g. stamped out).

The Material Utilization value is the counterpart of the Markup Rate on Net Quantity: both values are calculated bidirectionally.

Input for Sheet-Materials using "Material Utilization"
