New Functionalities
DPM Process and Resource Definition
-
You can now add or delete non-default columns to a Gantt Chart
- Users can add columns to the Gantt chart that contain attributes
that are in the properties of the activity or resource. The
attributes can be user-created attributes, created in Knowledgeware.
In addition, the calculation of the process duration is now
calculated using the scientific calculation time analysis. The
parameters used in these calculations' formulae are available for
viewing in the Gantt chart.
-
Replace the top node of a product
- You can now replace the top node of a product while keeping
track of the links within the process.
-
Search the Gantt charts
- The Gantt chart now offers a search mechanism that is available
in all Gantt charts.
Manufacturing Hub
-
Validation Pattern for Property Pages
- You can validate inputs for attribute values in the Property page
using Validation Pattern.
- Load Context
- You can load context (Manufacturing,
Volumetric, and
User) computed by
Context Solver Batch.
-
Product/Resource Tree Display Order
- This functionality allows the DPM product/resource tree to be
ordered in the same manner as the DELMIA Process Engineer
product/resource tree.
Enhanced Functionalities
DPM Process and Resource Definition
-
Tooltips have been added to control flows in the PERT Chart and
related viewers
- If two activities are linked, the tooltip displays that
information. When a switch activity is linked, the output
number also appears in the tooltip. The tooltips also show
precedent constraints.
-
Resources selected in the Gantt chart are cross highlighted in the
PPR tree and in the geometry
- Conversely, selecting resources in the tree or geometry cross
highlights in the Gantt chart. If an object is not visible in the
PPR tree because the tree is collapsed, the parent node is
highlighted.
-
Uneditable cells in the Gantt chart
are marked in gray
- This clarifies for the users which cells may be modified and
which cannot.
-
Process Verification has a Show Current Activity's Products
- This option enables you to see only those products associated
with the current activity. This option is also available for TSAs in
the Process Verification Across Resources
dialog box.
-
Process Verification enables you to hide all unassigned resources
- This option is also available in the Process Verification Across Resources
dialog box.
-
Process Verification enables you to select which activity you want
to see after a switch activity
- This option is also available in the Process Verification Across Resources
dialog box.
Customizing Settings
DPM Process and Resource Definition
- New
display options for the Gantt Chart
- The display options for the Gantt chart have been re-organized. In
determining whether you want to see specified or calculated times, you
can now differentiate between how you want the time displayed for the parent and leaf node. In addition,
you can select your own colors for specified and calculated times. You
also no longer must have your Gantt chart left-aligned; you can choose
to have data centered within a column or right-aligned.
- Moved options
- The Consider Product Flow option has been moved from the
Gantt Chart tab to the DPM > Manufacturing System
Definition > General tab because that option only applies to the
Manufacturing System Definition. For the user's convenience, the
Display Activity Relations options are available from the context
menu on the Gantt chart and are no longer part of the customizing
settings.
- Verification has added Navigation options
- You can choose to retain or ignore the effect of a Hide/Show
command on the visibility of a product or resource during process
verification. Also, you can choose whether to see the first or last
child process when navigating down. This option applies to both the
Process Verification and Process Verification Across Resources
commands.
- Server Computed Context Options
- This option controls the load of a pre-computed context.
-
Load 3D States and Positions
- This option is enhanced to load all 3D states and
positions defined on upper level parent products and resources.
-
PackNGO
- You can specify the pre-defined directory path for storing the pack
and go data set.
-
ProductList/ResourceList Display Order
- A new option Manufacturing Hub Order is added to
ProductList/ResourceList Display Order.
