Some tips w.r.t. this subject:
With the FCM/ACM optimizer add the optimizer version information, in a
default installation these can be found in the properties of the following file:
C:\Assembleon\PPSPro\Bin\Philips\opt_calc.exe
To find the version of the A-Series optimizer, check the first line of any PP
made by the same optimizer.
Always mention this information when communicating with Assembléon
about a your project.
