Using the Wizard functionality a process pipeline can be set up very easy in PLM Synchro. In a second step, it can be modified for different purposes by modular applicable nodes.
The Auto classify node provides a clear input dialog to create a set of rules by which you will achieve an auto classification of your company parts.
The following exemplary figure shows how to perform assignments into the created classes with the help of geometrical similarity analysis. As further methods assignments can be performed by using topological attributes and VBS scripts.
In the following, the procedure is explained.
Make sure that you have a working base pipeline how it can be easily created with the Wizard.
From Available filters, drag the Auto classify node on the connection between Conversion and Structure Node.
Select the node Auto classify node and in the Node Editor, click on the button.
In the dialog, create a class structure by which you want to classify your company parts.
In the toolbar, click on Create Class and then in the tree, on .
-> Just created classes first will show .
In this way create all required classes and subclasses. The following example does not have subclasses.
Attributes: The classification is made by using topological attributes.
In the following, the procedure is exemplified by the option Axis Symmetry:
After click on the option Attributes the dialog box Select Operand is opened.
Select the option Topological Attribute, choose the desired attribute and confirm with .
-> The respective entry is made in the dialog Edit rule tree.
Choose the mathematical comparison operand (==, <, >, etc) and then, in the next input field, click on "Click to select operand".
This time the option Direct Value is preselected.
In the list field, select the desired value and confirm with .
-> Now the complete condition is entered.
Geometric: Selection of a part by which the similarity of the part to be classified is calculated.
-> If there are possible assignments in the single classes, they are automatically created as directory; otherwise the read in parts will appear in the directory "unclassified".
