The frequency of use of the element in the structure row is defined via Quantity & frequency (Q x F).
In the "Quantity & frequency" field, any total factor is made up of individual operators using all basic arithmetical functions. The total factor does not have to be calculated manually but is directly entered as a "formula". That way the origin of the quantity x frequency is easier to understand. This conforms to the standard usage of "quantity" and "frequency" in the time management sector.
The following operators are allowed:
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
The operators don't have to be separated by spaces. For a better overview, however, one or more spaces are permitted for separation.
The Quantity & frequency are calculated considering order of operations rules (multiplication / division has precedence over addition / subtraction).
If necessary, expressions have to be put into brackets for calculation:
2 + 3 * 4 = 14 or (2 + 3) * 4 = 20
As summand, minuend, subtract, dividend and divisor, real numbers can be used.
The result of the "Quantity x frequency" field is added to the structure row as the frequency of use of the element.
Note: |
•In the administration area, it is possible to set that the structure factor ("Q x F" column) should be taken into account for the set-up times. By default, this setting is activated and set-up times are also multiplied with the factor. If this option is deactivated, factors <> 1 will be ignored for set-up analyses (see "Zeitgliederung, Einstellungen"). •If .1 is entered as factor in the Q x F column, TiCon evaluates this as 0.1. |
