About Contextual Engineering Connection

A contextual engineering connection is an engineering connection created between a child product of the active product and a product that does not belong to the active product.

Important:
  • Only the component belonging to the active product can be repositioned during the PLM update process.
  • You cannot create a contextual engineering connection with flexible products.
  • The contextual engineering connection defines the context information.

Example



  • Product_A is the active product.
  • An engineering connection has been created between the representation of Product_C.1 and the representation of Product_D.1, (Product_C.1 can be repositioned).
  • The contextual engineering connection appears under the Product_A (active product) and under Product_C.1 as a reminder (child and affected product of the active product that can be repositioned during the PLM update process).

When you edit the contextual engineering connection links, you can see that Root_Product is the context of UserDefined.1.
