Generate Manufactured Item for Electrical Part

You can generate a Manufactured Item for an electrical part.

This task shows you how to:

Visualization for an Electrical Part

An electrical conductor has electrical routing information, but it does not have 3D geometry itself. The Auxiliary Viewer shows the electrical conductor as an electrical branch and segment.

For cross highlighting, drag and drop for assignment and rerouting are supported for electrical parts.


Generate MBOM with Electrical Cable

You can generate MBOM with an electrical cable.

  1. From the Authoring section of the action bar, click Generate MBOM .
    The Generate MBOM panel appears.

  2. Select the electrical elements and conductors.
    The selected product appears in the Generate MBOM Panel.
    Note: Following are the group of Electrical objects considered during support of the electrical data model.

    Electrical Branch Geometry is a 3Dpart. The Branch Geometry object aggregates branch and segment features. These features have their representations.



    Branch and Segments is a Feature, and it has its own representations.



    Electrical Conductor is a 3D part. It does not have its own representation.



    Realizing the visualization of Electrical conductors by the routing of the branches (and segments).

  3. Select the root manufacturing assembly in the tree.
    The selected manufacturing assembly appears in the Generate MBOM panel.
  4. Click OK.
    A progress bar appears in the Generate MBOM panel while creating an MBOM under the root manufacturing assembly. After the MBOM generation, an implement link:

Generate MBOM with Electrical Hookup

You can generate MBOM with an electrical hookup.

  1. From the Authoring section of the action bar, click Hookup Planning .
    The Hookup Planning panel appears.
  2. Select Manufactured Item, which has an implement link with Conductor Reference or Manufactured Item, whose children have an implement link with Conductor Reference.

  3. Select root manufacturing assembly in the tree.
    The selected manufacturing assembly appears in the Hookup Planning panel.
  4. Click OK.
    A progress bar appears in the Hookup Planning panel as the MBOM is created under the root manufacturing assembly.
    Note: Supports Hookups that are as auxiliary parts and a Provided Part generates for each hookup. An implement link creates a link between a Provided Part for hookup and an electrical conductor reference. As a result, a Provided Part for hookup is dissimilar to other auxiliary parts, and it does not manage this in the auxiliary parts manager. The inclusion of an auxiliary part means that MBOM planning for external design data (which is planning for manufacturing purpose) does not have an implement link.
