This task explains how to work with the Clash command and
ENOVIA LCA. You can:
-
Retrieve clash results from ENOVIA LCA
-
Compare new and old clash results
-
Save clash results in ENOVIA LCA.
|
To do so, perform the following operations:
|
|
Have a DMU V5 session and an ENOVIA LCA session
running |
|
Customizing Clash Settings in DMU V5
|
|
-
In DMU V5, set the clash settings in the DMU Clash
tab to retrieve information from PDM (Tools > Options..., Digital
Mockup > DMU Space Analysis).
Customizing XML Export Clash Settings
If you want to export clash results (saved in ENOVIA LCA and sent to
CATIA) with associated pictures in XML format, we recommend you to perform
the step 2 or step 3:
-
In DMU V5, set the XML export clash settings in the
DMU Clash tab to retrieve pictures in your XML file when exporting
results in XML format (Tools > Options..., Digital Mockup > DMU
Space Analysis > DMU Clash).
-
If you need to export only a few clashes results with
pictures in XML format, and if you do not want to select Compute all
numeric and graphic results option button, all you need to do is:
Double-click each interference to be exported in an
XML file in the DMU V5 Check Clash dialog box |
|
This action enables to retrieve pictures in the
generated XML file (same behavior as the Compute all numeric and
graphic results option but only for the selected interference)
|
-
Set the remaining XML Export options accordingly, refer
to DMU Clash - Process tab page (Tools > Options > Digital Mockup >
DMU Space Analysis)
-
Click Export As
in the Check Clash dialog box to generate the XML file.

Establishing
the DMU V5 / ENOVIA LCA Connection from DMU V5
-
Still in DMU V5, select Infrastructure -> Product
Structure from the Start menu to launch the Product
Structure workbench and establish the connection between DMU V5 and
ENOVIA LCA.
-
Display the ENOVIA toolbar by clicking Toolbars >
ENOVIA LCA from the View menu.
-
Click the Connect to ENOVIA LCA icon.

Loading Models from ENOVIA LCA
-
In ENOVIA Home panel, select the Engineering Life Cycle
folder and double-click the Product Class Editor bookmark.The Product
Class View panel is displayed.
|
|
To create a PRC, please refer to the appropriate ENOVIA LCA
documentation. |
-
Right-click a Product Class Root (PRC) and select
Open from the contextual menu.The PRC is opened in the Product
Editor panel.
-
Right the PRC and select Expand from the
contextual menu to expand the product. All instances are displayed.

Detecting Interferences & Comparing Results
-
In DMU V5, switch to the DMU Space Analysis workbench (Start
> Digital Mockup -> DMU Space Analysis)
-
Select Insert > Clash from the menu bar or
click Clash
in the DMU Space Analysis toolbar and run an interference check.
The Check Clash dialog box expands to show
the results. |
The dialog box identifies the number of interferences
detected along with the type. By default, results are organized by
conflict in the List by Conflict tab.
Additional information is provided in the Check Clash
dialog box to help you compare clash
results with those already stored in ENOVIA LCA. |

Saving Clash Results in ENOVIA LCA
-
Identify the results you want to store in ENOVIA LCA in
the Keep column of the
Check Clash dialog box.
-
Click OK when done in the Check Clash
dialog box.A dialog box appears asking you to confirm that you want
to save results in ENOVIA LCA.
-
Click OK in the dialog box to confirm your
save.
Clash results are written to ENOVIA LCA and a dialog
box informs you whether or not the operation was
successful. |
|
Using ENOVIA LCA search capabilities, check that clash results
have indeed been written to the database. Don't forget to commit
changes to the ENOVIA LCA database before exiting your ENOVIA LCA
application |
