Define content in the PMI Assembly Level tab using a selection method

When defining an assembly or process plan, you can review relevant product manufacturing information (PMI) objects by selecting a content method that is based on your selection from the Assembly or Process tab. Methods can be applied to an entire assembly or process, or to a specific part or operation in a process.

Procedure

1. If you have not done so already, search for and open an existing work package that contains processes and parts and navigate to the Work Instructions Authoring page.

2. From the Assembly or Process tab, select the part, assembly, process, or operation for which you want to display PMI information, and in the PMI Assembly Level tab, click Select method.

Part or assembly selections enable Product based methods and Scope based methods. Process or operation selections enable Process based methods. Tip To select multiple operations, select the last operation you want to include in your method.

3. In the PMI Assembly Level tab, accept or select one of these methods:

Method 1 Loaded assembly to view all PMI objects contained in an assembly selected in the Assembly tab. All PMI information derived from the manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) for that assembly and its parts are displayed in the PMI Assembly Level tab.

Method 2 Selected part from loaded assembly to view all PMI objects from a part selected in the Assembly tab. Only the PMI information derived from the MBOM for that part is displayed in the PMI Assembly Level tab. If the part contains part subassemblies, PMI objects related to those subassemblies are displayed as well.

Method 3 Consumption of an operation to view all PMI objects related to parts that are consumed in the selected operation.

Method 4 In scope of selected part (in assembly) to select an assembly and view only PMI objects assigned to the first level of parts in the assembly's first subassembly in the PMI Assembly Level tab. If the first subassembly contains additional subassemblies, PMI objects associated with those subassemblies or their subparts are not displayed. Method 4 gathers PMI objects only associated with parts that are consumed within the selected assembly's domain scope.

Method 5 In scope of selected part (all) to select an assembly and view all PMI objects in the selected assembly in the PMI Assembly Level tab, regardless of whether they are or are not consumed in the MBOM. For illustrative purposes, the icons below indicate unconsumed parts for which PMI objects are displayed in the PMI Assembly Level tab. The unconsumed parts are not actually displayed in the Assembly tab.

Note You must have Teamcenter 14.1.0.5 server installed for method 5 to function. Teamcenter 14.2 does not contain the required preference Mci0PropertyListforFindingImpactedPMI.

Note You can change your selections in the Assembly, Process, or PMI Assembly Content tabs as necessary and change method selections. As you switch from an assembly to process or vice versa, you may need to change your PMI content method.

4. Do either of the following:

Drag any unconsumed PMI objects you want to assign to the objects selected in the previous steps to the lower PMI tab. The objects are displayed in the PMI tab.

On the PMI tab, select any PMI objects to be unassigned from the objects selected in the previous steps and click Unassign .
