The calculation parameters directly affect the times of an analysis.

Time distribution:

The time distribution determines how the analyzed times of an element are regarded. When selecting “Execution” or “Set Up,” the calculated times are “allocated” entirely to one or the other time allocation type.

Time calculation method:

By choosing the time calculation method, the method for defining the time of an element is specified. In this way it is possible to make corresponding evaluations on the quality of the times. There is a specific “Time calculation method" tab where the evaluation is shown graphically.

Note:

In the delivery database, 'automatic' is the default setting for the time calculation method in existing element configurations.

Number, Parts simultaneously, Quantity:

Number

Factor with which all times of the element are multiplied.

Parts simultaneously

Divisor by which all times of the element are divided

Quantity

Factor with which the time per unit is multiplied. The result is the run time ta (see “Time Tree").
