Synchronizing a Logical System with Several Electrical Physical Systems

You can create implement links between one logical system and several electrical physical systems. This enables to distribute the logical routables (wires or cables) in different electrical physical systems after the synchronization.

Notes:
  • You can link one logical system with several electrical physical system, but not one electrical physical system with several logical systems.
  • The scenario is identical whether you work in a cabling or in a wiring context.

Before you begin:
  • In your logical root, create logical references with at least one logical system containing wires or cables.
  • In your physical root, create products containing several electrical physical systems.
  • Create implement links between your logical and physical roots.
  • Specify the option indicating in which source the content to be placed is searched.

    For more information, see Logical To Physical.

  • In Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Electrical and Electronic Systems > Electrical 3D Design > Logical to Physical, select the Allow instance links between one logical and multiple physical electrical systems option.

About Logical to Physical Synchronization
  1. Open the logical and physical data:
    1. From the Search Results panel, right-click the logical or the physical root and select Explore With > Explore with System Finder.

      For more information, see System Finder User's Guide: Exploring RFLP Structures.

      Both logical and physical roots are explored in System Finder.
    2. In the tree, select both roots and select Open in the context menu.
    3. Activate the physical root product in Generative Electrical 3D Design.
  2. From the Generative Electrical 3D Design section of the action bar, click Logical to Physical .
    The Logical to Physical Synchronization Manager dialog box appears.
  3. In the tree, select a logical system.

    Tip: You can also select an electrical physical system.

  4. Select Scan and resolve links and click Scan Links.
    • The structure of the selected element appears in the Element column.
    • The Status column indicates if the elements are linked or not.
    • The number of physical elements linked to a logical element is indicated in the Number of Links column.

    When you select the row of a logical system, the electrical physical systems that can be linked with it appear under the Compatible elements column.



  5. To create manually an implement link between a logical system and an electrical physical system, double-click an electrical physical system in the Compatible elements column.

    Important: You cannot link a logical system to several electrical physical systems if the logical system is already linked to an electrical physical system through a reference-reference implement link.

    The information in the Status and Number of Links columns is updated accordingly.

    Tips:
    Note: If you linked an electrical logical system to different electrical physical systems, the link to electrical geometries is deleted for these electrical physical systems. If this suppression did not occur, the from to attributes of the conductors would be inconsistent.
  6. Click Analyze.
    The Element column displays the physical content to be created after the synchronization.

    Note: By default, your logical routables are distributed in the first found electrical physical system.
  7. Optional: Modify the electrical physical system in which a physical conductor is created:
    1. Right-click a row and select Set father.
    2. In the tree, select a compatible electrical physical system.

    Tip: You can also provide the aggregating electrical physical system using the Compute Aggregating Product of Routable (L2P_ComputeFatherForPlacingRoutables) opening ID.

    In our example, the parent of conductor LCG001--AA is modified.

  8. Click Synchronize.
    The conductors corresponding to your logical routables are created and appear in the tree under the assigned electrical physical systems.
