Verify Cost Model Project

After defining and localizing the cost model and some properties, we want to verify our design in the FACTON CMD Test Client.

Note

While the cost model is running, you are still able to work in the FACTON CMD to directly compare your definitions with the actual behavior in the FACTON CMD Test Client, and possibly correct them in the CMD.

Run cost model

  • In the ribbon ► START, click on Run to save all changes and verify the cost model.

    • Alternative: F6

    All changes are automatically saved when running. The FACTON client opens.

    You can still make changes in FACTON CMD.

 

After the FACTON CMD Test Client opens, you can create a calculation to verify the developed cost model is available for the resource »Product«.

Create calculation with cost model

  1. In the ribbon, click on Calculations to open the calculations workspace.
  2. In the ribbon ► MANAGE, click on »Project«.

    A tab with the project calculation opens.

  3. In the ribbon ► EDIT, click on »Product«.

    A product is inserted under the project. The Details view of the product is shown.

  4. In the Details view of the product, select the »TableModel« as »Cost Model« from the combobox.

    The »TableModel« is available for the product.

 

The property group »TableModel« in the Details view is displayed below the property group »General« because the specific base solution defines the extension point (»CostModel-Product-Default«) at this place.

 

  • Property »Table Height« is provided as an initial value which can be overwritten via F12.
  • Property »Table Width« is a predefined value which can be changed by the user.
  • Property »Table Length« is a predefined value which can be changed by the user.
  • Property »Table Top Height« is provided as an initial value which can be overwritten via F12.

WARNING

Save and publish all changes in the FACTON CMD Test Client BEFORE restoring a version.

    • The FACTON CMD Test Client closes.
