Insert Material

The material »20MnCr5« from the Global Templates (specifically the FACTON content) should be inserted to the part (piece) »Motor Shaft«.

These calculation elements are also called as global calculation element because they are linked to the master da. This link is called a Reference. You can identify references by the red arrow as shown here: .

This helps to quickly build a calculation structure and the reuse of data.

1. Insert the material »20MnCr5« under the part »Motor Shaft«.

   Insert Global Calculation Element

   • You are in the Calculations workspace.
   • You have opened a calculation.
   • You are in the Structure view.

   1. In the Structure view, select the calculation element under which you would like to insert the calculation element from the master data. (Insert position)
   2. In the ribbon, click on Edit ► Insert ► <Calculation element from master data>.

      You can insert the following calculation elements as global calculation element:

      • Commercial Measures
      • Fixtures
      • Machines
      • SC Materials
      • SC Special Direct Costs
      • Technical Measures
      • Tools
      • Work Steps

      A tab with a respective query for the global calculation element is opens.

      If you have defined query parameters (such as material classification) in an super-element, this value is used as the query parameter.

   3. Click the Run button.

      All results found are displayed in the Result view.

   4. Select a calculation element from the results set.
   5. Click in the first empty field in front of the calculation element and drag & drop it into the insert position.

      The global calculation element is inserted.

   Alternative:  

   1. Right-click on your selection ► Copy.
   2. In your calculation go to the position where you want the element to be inserted.
   3. Right-click on your selection Paste Special ► Paste As Link.

      The global calculation element is inserted.
