Update Tracks for Resource Position

Resource positions defined on operations or systems are used as initial positions for Tracks under the operation. When a resource position is modified, the Track must be updated so that the initial position of the Track matches the new resource position.

You can update the Track under a selected operation so that the Track position matches the resource position during the simulation.

Right-click the operation in the tree, and from the context menu, click Update Track for resource position .

Note: This command is relevant when a Track moves a resource.
Tips: You can also access the command by right-clicking the operation node from:

The computation of the new relative position is based on the resource position according to the product build up for the selected operation. At the end of the operation's simulation, the resource position must correspond to the resource position defined on the operation.

If the Track simulation was not consistent with the resource position even before the resource position was changed, then the result of the update might not represent the change in the resource position.

If the resource position is no longer applicable (removed) for the moved resource, then the relative position computation is based on the resource design position. At the end of the operation's simulation, the resource position must correspond to the design position.

If a Track moves a resource component involving a posture and that resource component is impacted or not by the posture, there is no update.

Notes:
  • The command does not impact the product positions implemented by the operations and the manufactured items that are moved by the Track.
  • The changes made to the Tracks under the selected operation are persisted.
  • The changes done by the command can be undone using the Undo command.
  • Only Tracks under operations are supported and the command is available when only one operation is selected. In addition, the selected operation must have only one Track: operations having multiple Tracks are not processed by the command.

In addition, you can use the Track Update Status B.I. Essentials to verify inconsistencies between the resource position and the Tracks under operations.

From the Tools section of the action bar, click B.I. Essentials , select Track Update Status in the list. Colors are applied to the operations depending on whether the Track matches the resource position or not.
