Design BOM Creation
|
Select when you want design BOMs to be
created:
| Option
|
Description
|
| Never
|
No design BOMs are created.
|
| Always
|
Users can create design BOMs if
required.
|
| Non-Variant
Designs
|
Design BOMs can be created if the
design does not include variants.
|
|
| BOM Settings
|
Select the check boxes for functions you
want to enable:
| Check Box
|
Description
|
| Create Collapsed
BOM.
|
When selected, the app transfers a collapsed BOM
to
3DEXPERIENCE.
When not selected, theapp
transfers an expanded BOM.
The BOM Editor always displays an expanded BOM.
|
| Allow Design
BOM
|
When selected, users can add the BOM from the
design scope using the
Design in the BOM Editor
dialog box. You can create a bill of materials that reflects all components
available in the design independent of any variant settings.
Select this check box if you want to create a
total BOM without having to define an explicit Total Variant Object in
3DEXPERIENCE.
|
| Allow Disabling of EDA
Parts
|
When selected, EDA components are optional. You
can disable components from the EDA through the BOM extraction process.
|
| Allow Adding Parts
from
3DEXPERIENCE
or external part Lists
|
When selected, you can add
components from
3DEXPERIENCE
to the BOM structure.
You can execute a part search to find these
components. The
app
flags these components as User components. Only User components can be removed
from the BOM. EDA components cannot be removed.
|
| Store Parts Added by
User
|
When selected, you can click
Store in the
BOM Management dialog box to
store user-created parts with the other EDA parts in the local system.
|
| Allow Manual
replacement of EDA Parts with Parts from
3DEXPERIENCE
|
When selected, you can use the
Assign context menu in the
BOM Editor dialog box to
reassign default parts of an EDA component with a
3DEXPERIENCE
part.
|
| Use
3DEXPERIENCE
Background Job for BOM
Creation
|
When selected, BOMs are created using background
jobs to allow users to continue working.
If selected, enter a value in the
Threshold box to define when
background jobs will be used. For example, if you enter 500, a background job
is only used if the BOM contains more than 500 parts.

| Missing Part
Strategy
|
Select one of the following options you
want the
app
to perform when a BOM contains EDA parts that do not exist in
3DEXPERIENCE.
| Option
|
Description
|
| Error
|
Disables the Create nonexisting parts
in
3DEXPERIENCE3DEXPERIENCE
check box. If a BOM contains nonexisting parts, you must resolve the issue
before creating the BOM.
When this option is not selected, you can select
the check box when creating a BOM, and any parts that do not already exist will
be created.
|
| Warning
|
Enables the
Create non-existing parts in
3DEXPERIENCE
check box. When that check box is selected during BOM creation and the
app
encounters a part that does not exist in
3DEXPERIENCE,
it performs the action determined by the
Create non-existing Parts in
3DEXPERIENCE
check box. If the check box is selected, new parts are created. If the check
box is not selected, missing parts are removed from the BOM creation and are
not considered in the PDM BOM.
To create a part, the
app
uses the settings, such as Type and Policy, defined in the
Scope Specific Part Creation
dialog box.
|
| Ignore
|
Enables the
Create non-existing parts in
3DEXPERIENCE
check box. When you select this check box, any missing parts are created in
3DEXPERIENCE
and no messages are displayed about the missing parts.
|
The
Create nonexisting parts in
3DEXPERIENCE
check box can only be selected for testing and prototyping, and not in a
product environment.

Does not load any BOM
modifications without any warnings.
|
| Load
|
Automatically loads BOM
modifications.
|
| Ask
|
Prompts the user to choose
whether or not modifications are required to be loaded. The dialog box lets the
user choose to ignore or load the modifications and includes a check box to
"Remember this decision." If that check box is selected, this preference is
updated accordingly.

Description
|
| CAD Model Existence Check
|
It specifies which web form will be used to
check the existence of the CAD models in
3DEXPERIENCE.
When the user brings up the BOM management UI, the existence of the previously
added document is checked and queried in
3DEXPERIENCE
for its existence using the document criteria defined in the web form.
|
| Connect BOM to CAD Model
Revision
|
This attribute defines if the BOM is
connected to the CAD Model Revision or the CAD Model Version. This is useful,
if you do not work with versioned objects or want to always see the BOM on the
CAD Model Revision.

|
| Part Existence Check
|
Defines the web form used to check the
existence of the parts in3DEXPERIENCE.
The connector queries
3DEXPERIENCE
for the existence of the part based on the selected web form that specifies the
state of the part.
For example, when you select
Latest Released Revision, it checks
for all the assembly parts with the latest revision in the
Released
state.
|
| EBOM Relationship
|
Defines the form used to create a
relationship between parts that is; create an EBOM connection between the
component and its parent component.
|
| Enable Ignore
Components
|
The user has the possibility to ignore parts coming in from
the EDA BOM extraction process by defining regular expressions. This might be
very useful to ignore part entries like Testpoints, DNI Parts etc., which are
required in the CAD Design itself but have no meaningful representation in the
3DEXPERIENCE Side.
This setting defines the semicolon separated regular
expressions, which are used to ignore parts coming from the EDA side.
Example
To access these settings, click
BOM Editor in the
Preferences
tree.
This expression indicates that all parts starting with OA,
TESTP, and IGNORE will be ignored for BOM creation
