Resource Sets and Available Resources

This section provides an overview of the resource sets and resources used by Space Referential, Structure Functional Design and Structure Design apps in Data Setup.

This page discusses:

Resource Sets

A resource set is a PLM object that implements a single resource table.

Resource Set Name Used in
Common Geometry Resource Space Referential, Structure Functional Design and Structure Design
Structure Resources Structure Functional Design and Structure Design
Structure Library Resources Structure Functional Design and Structure Design

Available Resources in Common Geometry Resource

A resource is a PLM object (for example, a catalog or a business rule) or another type of file (for example, a bitmap or a spreadsheet).

For the sample files, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Content Reference Guide: Equipment and Systems.

Logical Name Resource Type Mandatory Criteria Description
Common Geometry Reference PLM Reference Yes - Defines a common geometry reference.

It is the default reference system.

Secondary Geometry References PLM Reference No - Defines an object that contains secondary reference systems.
Common Reference Surface PLM Reference Yes Reference Surface Name Defines a common reference surface.

Specify the reference surface name in the ReferenceSurfaceName box. This surface is considered as the default surface in the 3D session.

SRS 2D Symbol Catalog Catalog No - Catalog containing drawing symbols, used for drawing generation.
SRS ATS Catalog Catalog No - Catalog containing the text templates.
Project Dictionary PLM Knowledge-based Applicative Component Yes -

Contains user classes and attributes.

Plane Properties (PlaneProperties) Business Rule No FactType Computes the color and thickness of the reference planes according to the plane category.
Mapping Rule Business Rule No FactType Compares the reference plane system while synchronizing and maps the plane accordingly.

Available Resources in Structure Resources

A resource is a PLM object (for example, a catalog or a business rule) or another type of file (for example, a bitmap or a spreadsheet).

For the sample files, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Content Reference Guide: Content for Structure Apps.

Logical Name Resource Type Mandatory Criteria Description
Molded Convention XML Document No -
  • Contains set of rules that define the orientation of structural objects.
  • If this resource is not set, you are limited to regular CATIA standard orientations.

For more information, see Molded Conventions.

2D Symbol Catalog Catalog No - Catalog containing drawing symbols, used for drawing generation.
Annotation Text Style Catalog Catalog No - Catalog containing ATS symbols used for drawing generation.
Rules Catalog Catalog No - Catalog contains action rules for color, naming, synchronization naming, index of layer, convert stiffener, advanced connection, create pass through point, chamfering, attribute synchronization while exposing split plates, fastener computation management, fastener attribute management, impacted objects management in the break panel/plate operation, and rerouting in rule-based copy.

See Adding Action Rules to a Catalog.

Project Dictionary PLM Knowledge-based Applicative Component Yes -
  • Contains user classes and attributes.
  • If this resource is not set, you are limited to the standard classes : Plate, Panel, Stiffener, Member, Opening and Stiffener on Free Edge.
Shell Expansion Drawing Template XML Document Yes -

Contains the information about the sheet format, view name and view scale for shell expansion drawing.

Structure Fastener Catalog Catalog No -

Catalog contains the fastener templates.

Resources Catalog Catalog No - Catalog contains the following tables: material-section table, material-thickness table, opening table, slot table, and endcut table.

See Adding Objects to a Catalog.

Structure PLM Modeling Definition XML Document No -

Defines Building & Civil Structure PLM types for the Structure Design objects. It also defines the customer extensions to be attached.

Structure Reference Catalog Catalog No - Catalog contains references for parametric contours, endcuts, openings, slots, and chamfer contour.

See Adding Objects to a Catalog.

Available Resources in Structure Library Resources

This resource set is for storing structure design libraries. You can set either libraries in this resource set or catalogs in the above (Structure Resources) resource set. If both catalogs and libraries are set, preference is given to the libraries.

For more information about managing libraries, see Working with Structure Libraries.

Logical Name Resource Type Mandatory Criteria Description
Rules Library General Library No - A library containing action rules for color, naming, synchronization naming, index of layer, convert stiffener, advanced connection, create pass through point, chamfering, attribute synchronization while exposing split plates, fastener computation management, fastener attribute management, impacted objects management in the break panel/plate operation, and rerouting in rule-based copy.
Resources Library General Library No - A library containing the following tables: material-section table, material-thickness table, opening table, slot table, and endcut table.
Structure Reference Library General Library No - A library containing references for parametric contours, endcuts, openings, slots, and chamfer contour.
Structure Fastener Library General Library No - A library containing the fastener templates.
