Cost estimation

Prices of individual connection components can be specified on a cost per unit weight basis in Settings. Costs can currently be defined for four basic entities:

• Steel parts (plates and added steel members, grade dependent)
• Welds (single and double fillet welds, ½ V and K butt welds, weld size dependent)
• Bolt assemblies (grade and diameter dependent)
• Hole drilling (as a percentage of bolt assembly cost)

The resulting value is presented in the 3D scene and is updated according to manufacturing operations used in the design. Detailed cost calculation is an optional part of the calculation report.
