Evaluating the Cost of One Body in a Multibody Part

When applying Costing to multibody parts, to improve performance, you can perform a cost estimate on one body, rather than the entire part.

  1. Run the Costing tool for a multibody part.

  2. In the CostingManager, double-click the body on which you want to perform a cost estimate.
    All other bodies are hidden, and the CostingManager and the Task Pane display only the single body Costing information.

  3. In the CostingManager, click Back to Multibody Environment .
    The multibody part appears in the graphics area and all bodies appear in the CostingManager.
