Calculation of the Cutting Patterns |

Once introduced all data for the Parts and Materials and defined the Launch Options, you can select Calculate Cutting Patterns from the Tools menu to start calculation of the optimum cutting patterns.
Calculation is realized in three phases:
1. Calculation of the Theoretic Optimum Solution: Searches for the theoretic optimum solution of the cutting task. Each step at this stage generates a new cutting variant improving the current solution until the optimum is finally reached.
2. Rounding of the Theoretic Solution.
3. Completing of the Integer Solution.
· Force the next calculation process: Under certain configurations, the calculation might go into a long cycle of bringing near the theoretical optimum: the yield reaches a high value and does not increase or does at very low rates after generated a significant number of variants. In front of such a situation or at any time you decide, you can click in the Force button to force the next process of the calculation. Nevertheless what pointed here, we always recommend to let the program finishing itself the calculations since any interruption could affect the final optimum yield.
Note: Since each calculation phase may realize several process, forcing does not necessarily imply passing to the next phase.
· Save the launch when done: Check in this box to automatically save the launch once finished the calculation.
· Shut down the system when done: When the calculation is slowed down, you can check in this box to automatically shut down the system once concluded the whole process. As Corte allows several calculations to be realized at the same time, this option will become effective only when no other processes are in active. To guarantee that the system is really shut down, check the option in every opened calculation window.
· Cancel the calculation: You can select this button to stop calculations immediately without keeping the calculated solution.
Important: The calculation engine is executed in a process independent of the main program process. It will allow you to continue working on other launches while a calculation is realized, or even realize several simultaneous calculations. |
