About Identical Part Management - Simplified Profile Mode
Identical Part can consist of either Structure Stiffener or Structure Stiffener on
Free Edge or Structure Member in the Beam structure category. They have the same value of the
Position Number PLM attribute. Since the profile model can simplify,
identical-simplified profiles manage through the Simplified Mode.
No fabricated profile transform in case of flat profile.
No formed profile transform in case of curved profile.
No MfgRep under an IPM for curved profile.
Simplified Flat Profile with Part Planning
After Part
Planning for flat profiles, the resulting product of the main part
aggregates MfgRep but not sub parts.
Simplified Flat Profile with Identical Part
Simplified Curved Profile with Part Planning
After
Part Planning for curved profiles, fabricated profile transforms
point to the same reference of flatten IPM. For example, when there are 2 fabricated
profile transforms, they point to the same reference of flatten IPM but different
instances under each IPM. The flatten IPM of the main part does not have any
transformation. The flatten IPMs of sub parts have transformation according to the
distance between the main and sub parts.
Simplified Curved Profile with Identical Part
After an update by
Identical Part, the flatten resulting products of sub identical parts have a new
transformation. This is according to the distance between main and sub profiles.

Support change of Curved Profile
Manufacturing features of the main part are getting updated according to the new
support.
However, sub identical parts need to have the new transformation after update by the
Synchronization Manager.
Identical Part Management detects this change (seen as
Out of date in the User Interface) and updates the new
transformation on flatten IPMs of sub identical parts.
