Create a shared study

When you create a shared study from a process structure, any changes you make in the source structure are automatically reflected in the shared study and vice versa.

Procedure

1. From a plant BOP, create a linked process structure.

2. In the process structure, select the structure that contains the objects you want to clone or reference.

Note If no line is selected when you create a study, or if you select the top line of the process structure, Teamcenter creates a new study with no content.

3. Choose File→New→Study.

Note File→New→Study should only be used if study manager is not installed with Teamcenter Manufacturing Access. While Manufacturing Process Planner provides limited access to some study manager functionality, studies created in Manufacturing Process Planner will not work in the Teamcenter Manufacturing Access version of study manager. If it is installed, you should always use study manager to create new studies. For more information, see the Teamcenter Manufacturing Access User Assistance documentation.

4. Select Shared Study and click Next.

5. Type an ID for the study or click Assign to let Teamcenter assign one automatically.

6. Type a name for the study and click Finish.

Teamcenter creates a new study in a Study view. All shared objects are referenced and have the same IDs as they do in the source process structure.

7. Populate the study with structures by creating new structure objects and by using copy and paste or drag and drop.

New structures appear in the shared study as well as the source BOP.

8. When finished, synchronize or publish from the study to the source.
