Instantiating a Document Template Containing Meta Inputs     

This scenario explains how to instantiate a document template containing meta inputs. 
Open the PktEngine2.CATProduct file. Note that you also need the following files:

  1. From the Start > Knowledgeware menu, select the Product Knowledge Template workbench.

  2. Click the Instantiate From Document icon () and select the PktEngine.CATProduct file containing the Document Template. The Insert Object dialog box is displayed showing the meta inputs.

  3. Select the inputs of the assembly template in the specification tree: Rod.1, Piston.1,  Crankshaft, Piston.2 and Rod.2.  

  4. Click OK when done. The document template is instantiated.

Creating and Simulating Dressup

  1. Right-click Engine2c_WFR1 (Engine2c_WFR1.1) and select Hide.

  2. Activate the root product and from the Start menu, access the Digital Mockup>DMU Kinematics workbench.

  3. Click the Mechanism Dressup icon (). The Mechanism Dressup window is displayed.

  4. Click New Dressup. Click OK in the New Dressup window.

  5. Select Jacket (Jacket.1) in the specification tree. In the Graphic selection list, select Engine\Engine2c_WFR1.1\Crankshaft_WFR.1

  6. Select Crankshaft (Crankshaft.1) in the specification tree.  In the Graphic selection list, select Engine\Engine2c_WFR1.1\Rode_WFR.1.

  7. Select Rod (Rode.1) in the specification tree. In the Graphic selection list, select Engine\Engine2c_WFR1.1\rode_WFR.2.

  8. Select Rod (Rode.2) in the specification tree. In the Graphic selection list, select Engine\Engine2c_WFR1.1\piston_WFR.2.

  9. Select piston (piston.2) in the specification tree. In the Graphic selection list, select Engine\Engine2c_WFR1.1\piston_WFR.1.

  10. Select piston (piston.1) in the specification tree and click OK.

  11. Click the Simulation with Commands icon (). Click OK in the Simulation information dialog box.

  12. In the Kinematics Simulation dialog box, manipulate the slider of the Command1.1 command.
    This time, the corresponding part of the kinematics mechanism moves accordingly. For more information about the Dressup, see the DMU Kinematics Simulator User's Guide.
