Assembly Design: Understand

The Assembly Design: Understand B.I. reveals information about the constrained status for each components of the assembly.

This page discusses:

Color Code

When the Assembly Design: Understand B.I. is selected, the following colors are applied to the objects in the tree and in the 3D area:

Color Signification Description


Update error or out of date Indicates a global status error except for errors related to over-constraining or all instances modified since the last update or all movable instances with an engineering connection in error.


Free Indicates instances which are not involved in an engineering connection.


Partially constrained Indicates instances which are involved in an engineering connection at least, but not completely fixed.


Fixed Indicates instances which are involved in one or more engineering connections and are completely fixed.

Label

When the Assembly Design: Understand B.I. is selected and you select an object in the 3D area, a label is displayed that contains detailed information:

On selected geometries:

Attribute Description
First row The name of the selected product.

For a repositionable instance, the name corresponds to the instance path built from the active product.
Second row The relevant representation if needed.
Third rowThe understand status.
Last rows The engineering connection status:
  • The translation vector on three rows.
  • The rotation vector on three rows.
  • When the engineering connection is deactivated, another row is displayed with Deactivated.
  • When the engineering connection is active but its constraints deactivated another row is displayed with All constraints deactivated.
  • When the engineering connection is measured, the instance or representation name affected by the engineering connection is not displayed and only the engineering connection status is displayed.

On selected engineering connections:

Attribute Description
First row The name of the selected engineering connection.
Following row The instance or representation name affected by the engineering connection.

For a repositionable instance, the name corresponds to the instance path built from the active product.
Last rowsThe engineering connection status:
  • If the engineering connection is deactivated, Deactivated is displayed.
  • If the engineering connection is active but the constraints deactivated, All constraints deactivated is displayed.
  • If the engineering connection is measured, the instance or representation name affected by the engineering connection is not displayed; only the status of the engineering connection is displayed.
