Supporting SDD Panel with Split Plates for Manufacturing Planning

You can generate MBOM or the Manufactured Item generation using the drag and drop mechanism. This creates a Manufacturing Assembly for the Panel PLM Node. Under this Panel Manufacturing Assembly, Manufactured Items creates for each Plate PLM object. You can also modify their color.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: This extends the support of the Heavy Industry Manufacturing App to the SDD Panel data type of the Structured Design App. This support is feasible only if the default SDD Panel data is processing the Structured Design App. This is to have the individual Structure Plate Objects created under the Panel PLM node.

Generating MBOM

You can create a scope link between a manufactured item and the root manufacturing assembly.

  1. Open an SDD Panel data.


  2. Right-click the Manufactured Item and select Create Manufactured Item-Product Scope.
  3. Select the Root Manufacturing assembly.
    This creates a scope link between the Root Design and the Root Manufacturing assembly. On creation of the scope link, the Auxiliary viewer shows SDD panel data. Each Plate PLM object under the SDD panel object is separate and is individually selectable.

  4. Click Generate MBOM and select the SDD panel object.


  5. Click OK.
    This generates the MBOM.

    • Manufacturing assembly generates for the SDD Panel node.
    • Manufactured Items generates for individual split plates PLM objects.
    • The representation for each Plate in the Auxiliary viewer is transparent.
  6. Select the manufactured item with the scope link and start the Part List command in the Auxiliary Viewer. The State attribute shows Design State for unplanned data and Mfg State for planned data.


  7. Click Color Picker in the Auxiliary Viewer and select an item.
    This assigns a color to a manufactured item.

Generating a Workshop Document and Synchronizing

You can generate a workshop document for manufactured items connected with a scope link, and then synchronize. The SDD Panel object is looked at as an assembly of Plates. The Generate Workshop document displays the Manufacturing Assembly created for the Panel PLM object. The visualization for the Resulting Products of the Manufactured Items for Plates objects (under the Panel PLM object) is based on the CGR mechanism. This generates the view based on Tools, Preferences, Drafting, View Generation mode, and CGR.

  1. Click Extract Production Drawing.
    See Assembly Drawing Template.
  2. Open Preferences. Select Open WD after extraction and Generate BOM XML.


  3. Select the Manufacturing Assembly for the panel.


  4. Click OK.
    A workshop document generates. The opened drawing shows the representation for the Plates under the Panel object.

    Note: No special treatments for XML generation. This is in sync with the XML generated for generic data (non-Structured design data).
  5. Select the manufacturing assembly item in the Open Workshop Documents dialog box and click Open to view the workshop document drawing.
  6. Start the Synchronization Manager command and click Compute. For unplanned data, the Status attribute shows New and the Action attribute shows Create.


  7. Click Synchronize, the Manufactured Items are generated for Plate PLM Objects and the Manufacturing Assembly is generated for Panel PLM Object.
