| Allow multiple materials in same job | Enabling this option adds another column in the Stocks and Parts table where you can specify the Section for each part and stock. If you have purchased 'Sections Module' along with PLUS 1D then one more additional column will appear, 'Section Type'. During optimization each part is matched and nested on stocks of appropriate material. |
| Specify cost with each stock | Enabling this adds another column in the Stock table, where you can specify the cost per piece of the stock. |
| Show cost per piece in inventory | You can either give cost per length of stock or cost per piece of stock. If this option is checked the cost is taken as cost per piece of stock. |
| Specify End Trim for each stock | Enabling this allows user to specify how much
length has to be cut at both the sides of the stock. To allow for removing damaged ends.
Zero by default.
Note: This is considered as waste during Utilization % computation. |
| Specify Weight for each stock | Enabling this allows user to specify weight of
each stock .
Note: This is considered as weight calculation of stock in RTF output. |
| Show Vendor column | If you do not want vendor column in the stock page and in RTF report then uncheck this option. To see vendor column check the this option. |
| Specify additional cut allowance with each part | This option is useful for parts with angle cuts on the sides. Enabling this allows user to specify the additional distance to be cut for a part, if it has angular cuts on the sides. |
| Specify powder coating | This option is useful when you want to include powder coating calculations for parts. |
| Offcut cost as percentage of stock cost | The cost of the Offcuts that are put back in the
inventory depends on their length and the cost of the original stock. To
give a preference for the use of offcuts, you can reduce their cost to the
value specified here. So if this value is 90%, and we are automatically
adding a 6m offcut (of a 12m stock that costs 100) then the cost of the
offcut will be set as
= OffcutLength*StockCost*OffcutPercentage/(StockLength*100) = 6*100*90/(12*100) = 45 |
| Machine Loading Time for a single stock in seconds | The time taken for loading a single stock on to
a machine for cutting. This time is in seconds.
Note: This is used for calculating the total loading time and the total process time for the machine that will come in the RTF report. |
| Cutting Time for a single cut in seconds | The time taken by the machine to make a single
cut. This time is in seconds.
Note: This is used for calculating the total cutting time and the total process time for the machine that will come in the RTF report. |
