Part Assemblies and Parts

Engineering Solutions supports CAE and PDM parts and part assemblies. CAE parts and part assemblies can be imported into Engineering Solutions, or can be manually created in the Part Browser. PDM parts and part assemblies can be imported into Engineering Solutions via a PDM generated PLMXML file. You cannot modify or delete any part assembly or part level entities.

Part Assemblies

Part assemblies collect and organize sub part assemblies and/or parts.

A part assembly can temporarily contain a component if it does not contain part assemblies or parts.

You can create, review, and edit part assemblies in the Part Browser.

Parts

A part represents and organizes subsystems of a physical part into a hierarchal data structure, which reflects the data structure of the product being modeled.

Parts can be organized into a part assembly in the Part Browser. A part can only contain components.

You can create, review, and edit parts in the Part Browser.
