Class Schemes

Class Aggregation

Class Aggregation is the grouping of classes within a classification scheme. For example, many standard schemes define the common aggregates of light, medium and heavy.

In MCReport version 2, Class Aggregation was known as Superclassing, and was defined in the Profile. Class Aggregates are now defined as part of the classification scheme. For MCReport’s OEM schemes, the grouping is predefined. To make a custom grouping, an external scheme must be used.

Class Aggregation is enabled in the Scheme page of the Advanced Profile settings. Schemes with defined aggregates have a + after their name. Aggregate definitions for the selected scheme can be viewed by clicking the Details button.
