Abstract: Recent developments in NX and Teamcenter make designing

in the context of multiple configurations a reality, join Stew to look at some

of the approaches you can take to get the most from these enhancements

Context Based Design

Table of content

• Moving towards “design-light” structure nodes

• Different methods of organizational structures for design data

• Applying organization structures to designs in the NX session

• Multiple context configurations combined with data organization

• Assigning design data into multiple organization structures.




Moving Towards “Design-Light” Structure Nodes

• Typical challenges of a current “design-heavy” structures

• Concurrent Access

• Performance & Scale

• Spatial Searches & Filters

• Restructure Operations

• “Load then Hide”

• Separation of Design from Organization

• Separation of Design from Design Usage

• Separation of Design from Other Design Constructs




Different methods of organizational structures for design data

• Manual: Assignment

• Dynamic: Spatial organizations

• Dynamic: Recipe driven e.g. Attribute Terms




Manual Assignment

Generators Systems Systems & Steel Detail




Dynamic: Spatial organizations

Deck 9-10 Include Frame 19, Deck 14-15 Filter by Frame 19




Dynamic: Recipe Driven e.g. By Attribute Value

Stairways Include Elevators

Filter By Deck 9-10




Different methods of organizational structures for design data

DEMO

• Manual: Assignment

• Engine Room (In WS) Add Detailed Steel 0009, 0042

• Dynamic: Spatial organizations

• Deck 9-10 (In WS). Add BH 19-20, Deck 14-15

• Dynamic: Recipe driven organizations e.g. Attribute Terms

• Stairs (In WS). Add Lifeboats. Add Sinks




Applying organization structures to designs in the NX session

• View task configurations using product organizational Views

• Switch between product organizational views on the fly

• Use multiple Subsets of design data, and toggle on-off as needed




Applying organization structures to designs in the NX session

DEMO

Decks Equipment




Multiple context configurations combined with data organization

• Load multiple contexts of data into the NX session

• Set effectivity ranges to refine the context that is loaded

• Apply different effectivity ranges to the same organizational structure

• Arrange the different contexts as needed





Hull 1 and Hull 3 Hull 1 Hull 3





DEMO

Hull 1 and Hull 3 Hull 1 Hull 3




Assigning design data into multiple organization structures.

• New components are either manually or dynamically assigned into organizational structures

• Manual assignment into an organizational structure

• Rapid re-assignment from one organization structure node to another

Unstructured design data compared to Single Structure

PLM + “Design-Light” Structure Nodes

▪ Scales to millions of design objects

▪ Multiple views / flexible organizations

▪ Design against multiple configurations

▪ Robust query for precise design-in-context

▪ Loads precise set of product data into a client session

▪ Independent lifecycle for occurrences

PLM + “Design-Heavy” Structure Nodes

▪ Scales to hundred thousands

▪ Single view / organization

▪ Challenge to design for multi-configurations

▪ Search / Configuration: full load of product

▪ CAD load overhead (load then hide)

▪ Independent lifecycle for assembly nodes

Robust Flexibility: Adapts to Disciplines beyond Mechanical.

Harness, Systems Engineering, PCB Design,

Line & Plant Design



What’s on the Horizon?
