R2022x FD01 (FP.2205)

Using Libraries in Drawing Generation Process

You can now use libraries in the drawing generation process, for storing 2D details and text templates.
Similar to catalogs, you can set the libraries and classes in Data Setup. When both catalog and library resources are set in Data Setup, the library resources are given a preference.
For more information, see Available Resources

Managing 3D Parts with Junction Points

Electrical 3D parts with newly introduced junction points are now managed properly in various Electrical Manufacturing Preparation processes and commands.
The processes and commands include:
  • Formboard generation process
  • Documentation generation process
  • Synchronization process
  • Live manipulation actions such as rotating, rolling, etc.
  • BOM comparison
  • Cross highlight
  • Network assistant command
  • Link review command
  • Dimension commands
Benefits: The app is more efficient.

R2022x GA

Validating Junctions

A new command, Junction Validation , lets you validate the junction arrangement of the flatten data against the harness data.
Benefits: You can compare the flatten data and the harness data for their relative compatibility and the compatibility with the manufacturing process.
For more information, see Validating Junctions

Mirroring the Flatten Element

You can now mirror the selected flatten element and its impacted network.
Benefits: You can correctly orient the flattened network at junction.
For more information, see Mirroring Branches

Formboard Process Improvement

The formboard generation process now generates a more reliable flattened layout.
It is now enhanced in the following aspects:
  • The user interface while flattening the harness data is improved
  • The junction orientation is improved.
  • The validation checks are improved.
  • You can manually specify the backbone.
  • You can analyze all the junctions on the backbone for the optimized orientation of their segments.
  • You can now generate the full proof flattened layout.
Benefits: You can generate the optimum flattened layout.

3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Content Reference Guide
To help you find the reference information you need to use the content delivered along with your app, you can consult the 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Content Reference Guide. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Content.
Optional Installation of Content

The app content is no longer automatically installed along with the code. You need to install it yourself, or contact your administrator. For more information, see Install Additional Resources and Install Optional Content.
