Importing Activate / Deactivate Status of V5 Components

The activate or deactivate status of V5 components can be imported even if the activation parameter does not exist in 3DEXPERIENCE. This section explains how the activate / deactivate status of the V5 components is imported using FBDI.

In V5, you can apply the activation parameter on the first level instances of a product using the Activate / Deactivate Component command.

The activate status of a product instance is imported without an effectivity in 3DEXPERIENCE. But, the deactivate status of a product instance is imported in 3DEXPERIENCE as an effectivity on the corresponding product instance.

After an interactive FBDI import, the product structure shows the product configuration with activated instances only. The deactivated instances are not shown in the tree and in 3D. But, this content is imported and saved. For more information about effectivity, see VPM Configured Environment User 's Guide: Managing Configured Objects: Understanding Effectivity Criteria.
