DPM Assembly Process Simulation
New Functionalities
- Generate Track command has been added
- Users can select edges on the geometry, and generate tracks from
the edges. Once the initial track has been generated from the
edges, the track can be modified.
- Review Annotation Activity has been added
- The Review Annotation Activity command enables users to allow 2D
annotations to appear within simulations.
Enhanced Functionalities
- The Filter dialog box for Analysis Information has expanded
- Users can now select from among multiple move activities and
analysis objects for filtering, as well as filtering for message
levels.
- Dragging the slider on the Player pop-up toolbar enables users
to see the track simulation
- In previous releases, users could not see the effects of
attaching a section to a track until after a simulation was run; now
users can see it as they move the slider.
- When you select define the shuttle as part of a Move Activity,
the Preview window now has a Tree tab
- This tab enables users to see the names of all parts selected as
part of the shuttle. Users can still preview the graphical
representations of the parts via the 3D tab.
- Shuttles may contain multiple groups and manufacturing
assemblies
- In previous releases, shuttles could only contain one group and
a parent shuttle could reference another shuttle. In this release,
each group is treated as an object, and users can select as many
objects as they like. Similarly, users can include manufacturing
assemblies within shuttles.
- The Annotation Activity command now works for 3D annotations as
well as FD&T annotations
- In previous releases, only F&DT annotations could be selected
for the Annotation Activity command.
- When you click the Activate Analysis button from the Track
dialog, you can edit the analysis object
- Users have the option to edit one analysis object at a time
while creating a move activity; they do not have to stop creating a
move activity to use the analysis commands.
- The scope of analysis can be set to global or local
- The Activate Analysis command enables you to bind
analysis objects to a move activity. You can now determine whether
analysis objects that are bound to move activities can be observed
globally (throughout an entire simulation) or locally (only during
the move activity to which the object is bound).
- The Player toolbar has a distance parameter
- Users can interpolate along the track with a set distance.
Also, the Sampling Step option in the Player
Parameters dialog box can be set for distance as well as time.
Customizing Settings
- Snap Sensitivity in the DMU Manipulation tab has been altered
- The default value for the Orientation option has been
changed to 20 deg.
