Technical Data

The Engineering page centralizes all technical data for your parts: hierarchical nomenclature, classification, raw material, surface treatments, special processes and dimensions. This data is largely pre-filled by the BOM extraction, but you can adjust it manually.

Prerequisites

• Have imported and extracted data for your RFQ

The Engineering Table

The table displays all parts in the RFQ in a hierarchical view (assemblies → child components).

Table columns

Column	Description
Part	Part number, designation and icon. Assemblies carry the ASSY badge. No-Bid parts carry the NOBID badge (greyed-out row). Child components are indented under their parent
Rev	Drawing revision (editable)
Class	Part classification (editable)
Qty	Quantity in parent assembly (editable for children, "—" for top-level parts)
Make/Buy	Manufacturing decision: Make (in-house) or Buy (purchase)
Type	Machining type: Milling, Lathe, Millturn, Assembly, Standard
📄	Article sheet / BOM file
📐	Drawing file
🧊	3D file (STEP)
📎	Miscellaneous file
Status	Pending or Validated
Customer	Detected customer badge (end user)
⋮	Actions menu

Editing table data

The Rev, Class and Qty fields are editable directly in the table. Click the field, modify the value — saving is automatic.

The Make/Buy, Type and Status selectors are dropdowns. Select the desired value, the change is immediate.

TIP

The machining type is automatically filled in when a 3D file is available for the part. Recognized types are: Milling, Lathe and Millturn. You can always change it manually if needed.

File management

Each part displays its associated files in the 📄 📐 🧊 📎 columns. You can:

• Drag and drop a new file directly onto the corresponding cell
• Click on an existing file to view or download it
• Delete a file via the ✕ button

WARNING

Deleting an article sheet file (📄) also deletes the associated technical data (material, treatments). Deleting a 3D file (🧊) removes volumetric data.

Actions menu (⋮)

Click the ⋮ button on the right side of each row to access the contextual menu:

Action	Description
＋ Add child	Adds a child component under this part
🗑 Delete	Deletes the component (only available for children without sub-components). A double-click is required to confirm

Selecting a part

Click on a table row to select the part. A detail panel appears below with:

Program & Quantities

The associated aircraft program and quantities per year over the contract duration.

Surface treatments and Special processes

These two sections display data automatically extracted from the customer's documents:

Surface treatments — list of identified treatments (e.g. Non-sealant anodizing, Sand blasting). Each entry shows the spec/standard code and description.

Special processes — list of identified processes (e.g. Penetrant testing, welding). Each entry shows the code and description.

For each section, you can:

• Delete a treatment or process by clicking the 🗑 button on the right side of the row
• Add a treatment or process by clicking + Add at the bottom of the section

Adding a treatment or process

A modal opens with:

• The list of available treatments/processes from your company's catalog. Click a row to select it (highlighted in green)
• Manual input fields (Spec / Standard and description) at the bottom of the modal, with a + button to create a free entry
• The + Add button to confirm the addition

Raw material

The Raw material card displays:

Field	Description
Material	Identified alloy (e.g. 7010 T7451)
Standard	Material specification (e.g. HMDM0020)
Density	Material density in g/cm³

WARNING

Material directly impacts machining time prediction and material cost calculation. An error here affects the entire quote.

Changing the material

Click the ⚙ icon next to the Raw material title to open the selection modal.

The modal displays your company's material catalog. Each row shows the alloy and specification. Click a row to select it (highlighted in green), then click Choose to confirm.

You can also create a custom material by filling in the fields at the bottom of the modal: Alloy, State, Spec, Density, then click +.

Dimensions

The Dimensions card displays data extracted from the 3D file (STEP):

Data	Description
Part Dim (X, Y, Z)	Part bounding box dimensions in mm
Material Dim (X, Y, Z)	Raw material dimensions in mm
Weight	Part weight in kg
Chips	Removed material weight in kg
Offcuts	Residual material weight (raw - part - chips) in kg

INFO

Dimensions and weights are automatically calculated from the STEP file. If no 3D file is associated, these fields remain empty. You can edit material dimensions via the ⚙ icon.

Next step

Once technical data is verified, view the 3D model of your parts to check geometry and dimensions.
