Opening Work Instructions to Another Operation

You can open the Work Instructions app using data containing defined general operations that you have set up using Assembly Experience or Process Planning.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Create content with systems and defined operations using either:
  • Assembly Experience
  • Process Planning.

Add Instructions to a System's Operations

You can enter Work Instructions directly when you want to add instructions to operations that do not have other operations as children.

  1. Open your content in its PPR context, and from the Compass, click Simulation Apps , and select Work Instructions.
    Work Instructions opens with the Select a System, a Workplan or a General Operation dialog box.

    In this example, the active system is the parent of other systems instead of operations. Therefore, to add work instructions, you must select a child system, which has operations as its children, to add work instructions to the operations.
  2. Select the child system, engine exhaust, for which you want to define work instructions, and click OK.
    Work Instructions opens.

    It consists of:

    • The Operations Sequencer, which uses icons to represent the operations already defined, and which shows the operations in order.



    • The 3D part data, which shows the parts implemented by the system.



You are now in the Work Instructions app.

Add Instructions to Child Operation of a General Operation

You can add instructions to an operation that is a child operation of a general operation.

Note: A general operation that has work instructions as children cannot list as the active general operation when you open Work Instructions; you must load the general operation's parent.

  1. Open your content in its PPR context in another manufacturing engineering app, and select the parent general operation.
  2. From the Compass, click Simulation Apps , and select Work Instructions.

You are now in the Work Instructions app.
