Selection Assistant for Products and Manufacturing Assemblies

When you use the Selection Assistant, you can either select the sub-parts within a product hierarchy or you can select sub-assemblies within a manufacturing assembly.

When you select a product in the work area or the tree, you can see the selection assistant. The slider in the selection assistant allows you to browse the items along with the product structure hierarchy.

When the slider is on the extreme left, the selected product and its Manufacturing Assembly are selectable. Similarly, when the slider is on the extreme left, the root parent of the selected product and its associated Manufacturing Assemblies are selectable.

If you select a product in the work area or the tree, the corresponding item is selected in the tree.

If the System-Operation-Track Gantt chart is displayed, the corresponding operation is highlighted.

By moving the slider to the right, you can browse all the parent Manufacturing Assemblies of the selected product. When you select a new active simulation object (ASO):

  • The Behavior tab opens
  • The operation implementing the Manufacturing Assembly is listed under the Behavior tab
  • The Manufacturing Assembly becomes the ASO.
