Generative Functions

Example

udf = CreateOrModifyTemplate("PktARMcatalog2|BoxUDF", PartBody, Boxes, i)
udf = CreateOrModifyTemplate("UserFeature1", `Geometrical Set.1` , Boxes, i)

Example

udf = CreateOrModifyTemplate("PktARMcatalog2|BoxUDF", PartBody, Boxes, i)
udf = CreateOrModifyTemplate("UserFeature1", `Geometrical Set.1` , Boxes, i)

Example 1

let S(Surface)
let temp (Feature)
temp= InstantiateTemplate ("ARM", destination)
temp.SetAttributeObject("Input",...)
temp.SetAttributeObject("Input",...)
EndModifyTemplate(temp)

Example 2

myTemplate = CreateOrModifyTemplate(...)
myTemplate.PointA = x
myTemplate.PointB = y
myTemplate.Radius = z
EndModifyTemplate(myTemplate)
myTemplate.Name = "MyTemplateInstance"

Example 3

let tmp(Feature)
let listOfInstances(List)
let ListOfReferences(List)
tmp = InstantiateTemplate("MyPLMTemplate”,destination)
[…]
EndModifyTemplate(tmp) /* End of PLM Template Instantiation */
listOfInstances = tmp->GetAttributeObject("CreatedInstances")
listOfReferences = tmp->GetAttributeObject("CreatedReferences")

Example

product1.1 -> createpublication(product1.1\part2.1,part2\partbody\
plane.2,"plane")

Example

1. Create a knowledge action and make "iPrd : VPMReference" an input of this action.
2. Enter the following script:

   Let lPubs(List)
   lPubs = iPrd->ListPublications()
   if lPubs.Size() == 1 AND lPubs[1] == "MyPoint"
   {
   	iPrd->CreatePublication(NULL,iPrd->Find("Point","x.Name==\"MyPoint2\"",TRUE), "PubCreatedDuringTheAction")
   	lPubs = iPrd->ListPublications()
   	if lPubs.Size() == 2
   	{
   		Message("OK")
   	}
   }
   

3. Execute the action on the product containing the publication.
4. Check that it displays "OK" and that a new publication was created under the product.

Example 1

CreatePathString(I.2, P1)

Example 2

pathPubPlane=Root -> CreatePathString(Product1.1, "Plane")

Example 1

let newInstance (Product)
...
/* Creates or replaces the instance under Product1 of name "Instance of MyPart" 
This instance is the instance of the part pointed by the catalog description MyPart 
in the catalog ARM. */
newInstance = Product1  -> ManageInstance("MyPart", "","", "Instance of MyPart)

Example 2

let newInstance (Product)
...
/* Creates or replaces the instance under Product1 of name "Instance of Bolt part family item"
This instance is a part family instance, found in family ISO_4014_GRADES_A_B_HEXAGON_HEAD_BOLT in the
catalog pointed by the ARM description in the catalog ARM */
set newInstance = Product1  -> ManageInstance("Bolt","ISO_4014_GRADES_A_B_HEXAGON_HEAD_BOLT", "PartNumber == 
\"ISO 4014 BOLT M2x16 STEEL GRADE A 
HEXAGON HEAD\"","Instance of Bolt part family item")

Example 3: Instantiation of Product/Part Classified in Library/Class

// Declare VPMReferences 
let fatherRef(VPMReference)
let createdInstance(VPMInstance)

// Assign current product to one VPMreference 
fatherRef = `Assembly A.1`

let queryStr(string)
// Create query using indexed attribute. This is the case when product is associated with indexed attribute.
//We have indexed PadConfig as interger type classification attribute 
queryStr = '[PadConfig]:5'
// ResourceLibrary is Library item added in resource table
set createdInstance = fatherRef->ManageInstance("ResourceLibrary",queryStr,"RectInstance1")
if createdInstance <> NULL
{
	Message("ManageInstance successful. Instance Created.")
}

//The query should be written without units, just using dimensions in MKS.

Example 4: Instantiation of Component family item classified in Library/Class

// Declare VPMReferences 
let fatherRef(VPMReference)
let createdInstance(VPMInstance)

// Assign current product to one VPMreference 
fatherRef = `Assembly A.1`

let queryStr(string)
// Create query using indexed attribute. This is the case when component family items are associated with indexed attribute.
queryStr = '[PadLength]:0.02'
// ResourceLibrary is Library item added in resource table
set createdInstance = fatherRef->ManageInstance("ResourceLibrary",queryStr,"RectInstance1")
if createdInstance <> NULL
{
	Message("ManageInstance successful. Instance Created.")
}

//The query should be written without units, just using dimensions in MKS.

UQL Queries

[<Classification Attribute>]:<Attribute value>  
'[PadConfig]:5'
[<Classification Attribute>]:<Attribute value> AND [<Classification Attribute>]:<Attribute value>
[<Classification Attribute>]:<Attribute value> AND [<Classification Attribute>]><Attribute value>  
‘[PadConfig]:5 AND [PadLength]>0.02’

Example

product1.removeinstance("instance of MyPart")

The example above shows how to remove the instance created in the above example 1 to illustrate the manageInstance function.
