About Place Components

By taking full advantage of tooling attributes, Place Components provides the following capability.

• Smart positioning.
• Work on several levels of the product structure.
• Ability to position a component several times without selecting it again.
• Creation of the connection between Hook and Component Specification.
• Automatic management of external references. If reconnecting is impossible, a message is displayed. The cause may be missing publications, several publications resulting in inconsistency, or missing instance name product.
• Search and selection of the compatible components to connect (context driven positioning).
• Filtering of compatible Hook/Component Specification solutions.
  Note: The filtering efficiency varies with the degree of preparation of the model.

  • When using basic Hooks and Component Specifications, a basic positioning is proposed.
  • By adding attributes to the components to match the information provided by the Component Specifications, you are proposed components compatible in type, length, diameter, height.
• Optional computation of the impacts.
• Optional cut of the components, if applicable.
• Adjustment of components and mechanical constraints with offsets.

Place Components provides an "assemble" behavior.
