Deploying Your Custom Methods Using the Data Setup Approach

You can deploy custom methods into Physics Methods Reuse using the Data Setup app.

Before you begin: Use one or more engineering documents, created by the Simulation Methods Developer. Your administrator must have installed the Data Setup app.

Running Physics Methods Reuse
  1. Create a VPM document.
    1. In the top bar, select Add > Content.
    2. In the New Content dialog box, expand Document and select VPM document.
    3. In the Select File dialog box, navigate to your custom method file.
  2. From the Compass, click Data Setup.
    The Data Setup user interface displays collaborative spaces bindings in the left pane. The right pane has tabs for Know-how Apps Packages and for Resource Tables. All resource tables are associated with a 3DEXPERIENCE app.
  3. In the right pane, scroll down to Physics Methods Reuse Custom Methods, right-click, and select Create a new Resource Table from the context menu.
    The Resource Set dialog box opens.
  4. Specify the Title and Description for the VPM document, and click OK.
    The Resource Table dialog box opens.
  5. Right-click in the Resource column, and select Choose the assigned resource.
  6. Using either From Search or From File, select an XML document and click OK.

    The Resource column displays the XML document you selected. The preview pane displays the code containing the action types and method type.

    Note: A collaborative space has one resource table but might have multiple documents. For example, Collaborative Space A might reference five documents and Collaborative Space B might reference seven documents, some or all of which might also be referenced by Collaborative Space A.

  7. Optional: To add multiple methods to the resource table, right-click the Resource column and select Add a new resource sub-item.

    A sub-tree displays in the Logical Name column.

    1. Right-click in the Resource column, and select Choose the assigned resource.
    2. Select an XML document, and click OK.
    The Resource column displays the XML document you selected. The preview pane displays the code containing the action types and method type.
  8. Drag the Physics Methods Reuse resource table from the Resource Tables tab in the right pane to the Collaborative Spaces bindings in the left pane.
  9. Close the Data Setup app, and click Yes when prompted to save.

You are now ready to run Physics Methods Reuse with the methods that you created.
