DELMIA – ENOVIA VPM V5 Connection

New Functionality

Partial

Export by instance unique identifier ProductDataGen is enhanced with a new export mode:   ProductDataGen [opt] instance [incremental ]  
This mode will allow only one instance to be exported and the instance will be the Instance UUID passed as the last argument. This is the extension of the existing functionality that exports all the instances with same part_id, part_version, instance_id, and that is under same PRC.  

Block mode improvements

The block export functionality of ProductDataGen will now write additional metadata into all of the sub blocks. This will enable the user to import any sub block without forcing the user to first importing the PRC super block that previously contained this information.  

Improve update behavior for position changes

Prior to R21, when a component assembly was versioned and it’s child part changed position, the part would be deleted and recreated.  Now, the behavior has been changed to simply identify such changes with a new updatestate ‚move‘.  This avoids the need to specifically re-plan for these components. The capability has also been added for the user to specify the tolerance within which the translational and rotational parameters of the component can vary and beyond which the components is considered to be moved. In case there is no change in position or change in position is within the specified tolerance level, then the component is updated appropriately.  

Treating unresolved effectivities as NULL

An EH-MH Connection has the capability to transfer multiple effectivity domains.  However, it is possible that for some instances the user has not defined the effectivity for all transferred domains. By default, the EH-MH Connection sets those undefined effectivities as ‚blank‘ in the Manufacturing Hub. When activating this new behaviour, the EH-MH connection will use the computed effectivity of unset domains, which is NULL, to also change the Node Effectivity from blank to NULL.  

Transferring hidden modifications as NULL  

It is possible to have hidden empty modifications that set a NULL effectivity on some parts in ENOVIA.  By default the EH-MH Connection does not transfer the effectivity of those hidden modifications. From R21, a new behavior is possible to configure the EH-MH Connection so those parts under the control of hidden modifications will now be transferred as NULL.
