Setting Up Library Migration and Using a Library

You can search and import resources from the Library. The standard Catalog Browser updates to operate on Libraries. You can use this to open a Library, view its contents, and instantiate classified items.

The following topics are discussed:

Setup Resource Tables

You can have a scenario with Resources. An Administrator imports the resource catalog from win_b64 / startup / DELMIAHeavyIndustry / Fluidic Fabrication / FluidicFabrication_PRM.3dxml.

Catalog and Adopting a Library Depending on Data Setup

See Editing, Duplicating, Upgrading, and Deleting Resource Tables in Installation and Setup, Customize, 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Behavior, Data Setup, Resource Tables.

Depending on Data Setup, these commands work based on the Catalog or Library.

  • Weld Planning.
  • Generate Features.
  • Feature Manager.
  • Synchronization Manager.

About the Library

You can use Libraries classify standard objects according to user-defined attributes. A Library consists of Classes, which categorize the objects in the Library hierarchy. Items are the actual objects that they manage.

A Catalog is a tree structure consisting of the following elements:

  • Chapters: A chapter references other chapters or items. Use to classify items by category.
  • Items: An item is a reference to an external document or PLM Object. Items describe them with keyword values.
  • Keywords: A keyword is an attribute describing a chapter or item. The Librarian can associate keywords to a chapter or item, and assign keyword values to each item. Search by keyword values to filter its content.

Using the Fluidic Fabrication Resources DataSet

After FluidicFabrication_PRM.3dxml imports from startup or if there is the existing DataSet, it is able to upgrade the Fluidic Fabrication Resources. Use the context menu and selecting Upgrade the selected Resource Table.



Then Library entries add to the Fluidic Fabrication Resource resources group and you can specify Library objects to corresponding library entries.

Between Catalog and Library, Library has higher priority.

  • When only the Library specifies the in Data Setup, commands work based on Library.
  • Specifying both in the Data Setup, the commands work based on the Library.
  • When only the Catalog specifies in Data Setup, commands work based on Catalog.

And all functions, which use Catalog work also with Library together.

ResourceIdentifier Keyword for the Catalog

To have consistency in an object finding a mechanism from the Catalog, catalogs have a ResourceIdentifier keyword and a value for the objects.

  • Feature Catalog - Under the Feature Catalog, there are products, which contain the PowerCopy of the feature and ResourceIdentifier is the keyword used to get PowerCopy.

    ResourceIdentifier keyword value of OuterContour_PRD is OuterContour and use it to get PowerCopy under the product. This logic applies to other features in the Feature Catalog.

  • Macro Catalog - Products that contain macros and ResourceIdentifier is the keyword used to get macros.

    ResourceIdentifier keyword value of MitreHole is MitreHole and use it to get a macro under the product. This logic applies to other macros in the Macro Catalog.

  • Rule Catalog - Products that contain Action Rules for feature creation and naming.ResourceIdentifier is the keyword used to get the rules.

    ResourceIdentifier keyword value of Product Of Connected Parts Rule is POF_FeatureRule_ConnectedParts and uses it to get Connected Parts Rule under the product. This logic applies to other action rules in the catalog.

  • Clocking Symbol Catalog - Products for the Clocking Symbol features.

    ResourceIdentifier is the keyword used to get those features under the product.

ResourceIdentifier Classification Attribute for Library

Keywords used in the Catalog replace by the corresponding classification attributes in the Library.

  • Feature Library - Keywords used in the Catalog replace by corresponding classification attributes in the Library.

    Table 1. Feature Classified Attributes
    Item Name ResourceIdentifier
    OuterContour_PRD OuterContour
    CuttingLength_PRD Cutting
    RootGap_PRD RootGap
    NegativeMargin_PRD NegativeMargin
    PositiveMargin_PRD PositiveMargin
    Bend_PRD Bend
    TangentLine_PRD TangentLine
    AlignmentLine_PRD AlignmentLine
    Weld_PRD Weld
    Connection_PRD Connection
  • Macro Library.

    Table 2. Macro Classification Attributes
    Item Name ResourceIdentifier
    MitreHole MitreHole
    Chamfer Square Chamfer Square
  • Rule Catalog.

    Table 3. Classification Attributes
    Item Name ResourceIdentifier
    Product Of Connected Parts Rule POF_FeatureRule_ConnectedParts
    Product Of Single Part Rule POF_FeatureRule_SingleParts
    Product Of AlignmentLine NamingRule POF_NamingRule_AlignmentLine
  • Clocking Symbol Catalog.

    Item Name ResourceIdentifier
    Flange_8Hole Flange_8Hole
    Elbow Elbow

To declare the corresponding classification attributes in the server;

  1. Go to the IP Classification application and enter Attribute Group Maintenance.
  2. Create an Attribute Group by selecting Create New and fill out the Create New Attribute Group Dialog dialog box.
  3. Create ResourceIdentifier Classification Attribute. If the ResourceIdentifier attribute is existing, this step fails but it is able to add the existing attribute to your attribute group.

Generating a Library from a Catalog

For Library usage, it is best to generate a Library from the existing catalog.



Select Generate new Library Structure. A new library structure generates if the ResourceIdentifier classification attribute exists.
