Hi,
For material and labor force I use Triforma Parts and Family for all forms, regarding WBS and ERP database.
To make the itemization I use the component parent setting for each composition, so I can import to my ERP(example):
My concern is about the future version of AECOSim regarding the formulas.
Regards,
Are you asking whether the Quantify/Report Component portion of the product will remain?
Obviously the direction Bentley is headed is with DataGroup reporting since it offers abilities beyond what the Family + Part system can do. And over the last few versions there have been enhancements specifically in the area of calculated values for this reason. However, I'm not aware of the Quantify tool becoming deprecated any time soon, though obviously it's not being actively developed either.
