About Synchronization

In the 3D area, the synchronized components are colored according to the Graphic view preferences set in the Synchronize panel. You can either visualize the actions performed on the components or their synchronization status.

The elements on which no synchronization is performed are greyed out.

Important: The colors appear in the 3D harness content and in the 3D flattened content. However: After a simulation, removed elements are only displayed and colored in the 3D flattened content. They do not appear in the 3D harness content. Similarly, added elements are only displayed and colored in the 3D harness content. They do not appear in the 3D flattened content. After synchronization, removed elements appear neither in the 3D harness content nor in the 3D flattened content.

In the work area, the Synchronize panel displays the detailed results of the synchronization in a pie chart or in a table.

The synchronization results can be filtered:

• If you click a section in the Pie-Chart Report view, only the related components are colored in the 3D area. Other components are greyed out.
• If you select a specific component in the Advanced view, only this component is highlighted and colored. Other components are greyed out.

  For more information about using filters in the Advanced views, see Filter the Advance Report.

• You can use cross highlight behaviour, apply filters, and reframe on the required elements from the report.

Depending on the Graphic view preferences, the following colors can appear in the 3D area and in the report.

• Actions performed:

  Color	Corresponding Action(s)
  	Business Rule
  	Remove
  	Remove and Segment Structure
  	Attribute
  	Replace
  	Transform
  	Add
  	Add and Segment Structure
  	Configuration
  	Knowledge Parameters

• Synchronization Status:

  Color	Corresponding Synchronization Status
  	Done. This status means that objects are synchronized.
  	Warning. This status means that objects are synchronized but discrepancies can be found between the 3D harness content and the 3D flattened content.
  	Error. This status means that objects are not synchronized (For example, non-versioned branches are likely to have different lengths). For more information about synchronization errors, see Using the Advance View of the Synchronization Report.

During the synchronization process, the orientation angle between the Single Insert Connector (SIC) and the Backshell is synchronized with the 3D harness model.

The synchronization of the orientation angle is done only if Devices and Attribute are selected in the Synchronize panel. Only the SIC to be synchronized is rotated at the new angle.

Synchronization of orientation can be done even if the orientation constraint is not defined while defining the Backshell connection point.

The connection point between the SIC and the Backshell is done through the backshell connection point, and in general, a mechanical connection with three relations is automatically treated (it is called the advanced method):

• Contact
• Coincidence
• Orientation

In 3DEXPERIENCE, the connection point between the two devices, SIC and Backshell:

• Occurs by synchronizing the two relations of the advanced method: Contact and coincidence. But it does not work with the orientation relation.
• Cannot be synchronized via the axis system like in V5, with the three relations: Plane, axis, and orientation.

  Note that this method works with all the other devices and connections points in 3DEXPERIENCE.

In the synchronization report, a column entitled Orientation from backshell is added under the List Devices Attributes Modifications category to show the orientation angle.

If your 3D harness content contain branches arranged at junction in the Electrical 3D Design app, length tolerance can be taken into account in the extracted branches after synchronization.

For this, you need to customize the Junction Management Business Rule (EHFArrangedJunction_ComputationLengthToleranceForOwningSegments) opening ID. Note that the Arranged Junction Length Tolerance information will appear in the report.

It is recommended not change the branch or segment orientation if you work in the context of Electrical Manufacturing Preparation.

• If you first create the branch or segment this way:
  
  

• Do not modify it like this:
  
  This is not be supported when synchronizing the content.
