- Mechanism product
- A product in a mechanism that is impacted by a regular engineering connection visible under the
Joints node. For more information, see Engineering Connection Definition .
- Attached product
- A product (dressing part) rigidly connected to a product in the mechanism using the
Dressup command.
- Non-impacted product
- A product that is not a mechanism product or an attached product.
- Rigid engineering connections in the tree
- Multiple engineering connections are created when using the dressup function. By default, rigid
engineering connections appear under the Dressup node if they
connect a product in the mechanism to a product in the model (attached product). You can
include a new engineering connection to the mechanism that impacts a product in the model.
If that model product was previously attached to a mechanism, then the rigid connection is removed from the
Dressup node, and appears under the Joints
node. Similarly, if you exclude an engineering connection from the mechanism, a rigid
joint that was
created using the Dressup function may no longer be connected to a
mechanism product. In this situation, the rigid engineering connection is excluded from
the mechanism—it appears only under the Engineering Connections
node.
- Rigid engineering connections in the Mechanism Manager
- In the Mechanism Manager, all rigid engineering connections (dressup
joints) connecting a mechanism product to a model product (attached product) appear as
indirectly included
 . - Dressing products referenced by a macro mechanism
- You can use a dressup on subproducts to improve the collaboration between different roles
involved in a kinematics project such as architects, designers, and integrators. For more
information, see the dedicated article in the Knowledge Base.
