Product Functions
- First,
you define a product. You do this mainly to have a framework for the details
of the product, which consists of one or more models.
Enter a product, Racing Car, and connect it to a product type Car in the
Products and Models
window.
- Next step is to define one or more
models. Enter two models, F1 car and F3 car in the
Products
and Models window.
- In order to add components to your
functions later on, you need a top part connected to the model. In the
Products
and Models window, connect the top part, F1 Racing Car, to your F1 car model.
- Enter some functions. Select the F1 car model and
right-click and then click Function Structure Navigator.
Note: It is possible to copy by right-clicking
and clicking. This eases the work of registering the functions for
a model by copying functions from another model.
-
Select your product model Racing Car in the graphical window
and connect two functions, Hydraulic System and Electrical
System from the List of Values.
Note: It is possible to
reorganize your functions by dragging the function to a new location.
-
In
the
Function
Structure Navigator window,
connect
your parts (except your top part) to the functions on the lowest level in
the structure by selecting a function, and right-clicking and then clicking Add (Parts).
Click All parts to get access to all engineering parts in the
database.
- You
can also connect documents to functions in the same way by right-clicking
and then clicking Add
(Documents).
