Saving DMU Applicative Data in ENOVIAVPM

 

This task explains how to store and retrieve DMU applicative data in ENOVIAVPM.

About storing and retrieving DMU applicative data in ENOVIAVPM:

DMU applicative data is:

  • stored in an application container document, this container is attached to the PSN root corresponding to the root in DMU session
  • context-dependent: you assign a name to the container; the container name is set in the DMU Navigator Tools Options dialog box (see DMU entities supported in this process.)

 
Enhanced Scenes saved in ENOVIAVPM cannot be used in a drafting scenario: it is not possible to create a drawing with a view from this scene.
The following VPM declarative variables must be activated for proper functioning:
  • in ENOVIAVPM: catcdma.VPM.PERFO_CONTAINER_V5=TRUE;
  • in DMU: export CV5_VPM_PERFOCONT=1;

 

  1. Have an ENOVIAVPM and a DMU Navigator session running.

  1. In the menu bar, select View -> Toolbars -> ENOVIAVPM.
    The ENOVIAVPM toolbar appears.

 

  1. Click the Set PDM Properties icon . 

The Set PDM Properties panel appears. 

 

  • Select the first document in the upper-left part of the panel.
  • In Destination PDM, select VPM1.
  • In Application Container, activate the Saved checkbox. (If you don't activate the Saved checkbox, this implies that you are only modifying the positioning.)
  • In Container name, enter the desired container name.
  • Click the OK button to confirm.

 

  1. Select in the VPM product structure graph a product.

  1. Send it to DMU Navigator.

  1. Create Applicative data: in our example, a 3D annotation, a section.

  1. Click the Save icon or select File->Save menu in your DMU V5 session.

This is what you obtain:

A new document (green) appears in PSN.

  1. Close you DMU session.

  1. Reopen your product in DMU Navigator for this: In VPM session, select the product.

  1. Send it to DMU Navigator.

  1. In VPM, select your DMU document (green leaf) in PSN and open it in DMU. 

Click Add in the dialog box displayed.

In DMU Navigator, saved application data are displayed, all pointed documents are loaded in DMU.

  1. Create new application data and delete section.1.

  1. Perform the saving operation in ENOVIAVPM (repeat step 5).

  1. In PSN, the previous document (green leaf) is deleted and replaced by a new one with the same name (that is DMU in our example). An update operation was performed.

  1. Close your DMU session.
