Select the tutorial most
appropriate for your needs (The first two should be down in order
before moving onto the last two):
Basic
- Learn the basic layout of the MAS, and use it to complete simple
searches based on single or multiple parameters. Material and
process searches are examined separately.
Advanced
- The next step is to combine a process
and material search, letting the MAS help you find the most suitable
process/material combination.
Cost
Estimates - The MAS provides dollar value cost estimates
for some of its processes. This tutorial goes over sand casting
and plastic injection molding.
Process
Chains - There are two situations in which a process
chain is better than a single primary process: extremely precise
components and parts with varied tolerances. This tutorial describes
how to define a part's geometry further in order to calculate
a chain of subsequent processes.
