Create or update a dynamic in-process assembly

Procedure

1. Select one or more process structures and choose In-Process Assembly Tree → Create/Update Dynamic Assembly Tree.

   Note If you want to use a dynamic in-process assembly (DIPA) in isolated studies, you must create it under the station level.

2. If the selected process structures contain parts from more than one product, select the configuring product structure.

Unless you create DIPAs recursively, you can only create a DIPA for one configuring structure at a time.

3. If you are creating a DIPA on a node other than the root node, choose whether to include structure subhierarchies and click Continue.

Teamcenter creates the DIPA containing the incoming parts in a flat list and adds it to the process structure. If the station contains more than one incoming station (marriage station), Teamcenter creates a separate DIPA node for each incoming path. If you selected the option to include structure subhierarchies, Teamcenter creates DIPAs for every child node in the hierarchy from the selected process downward or, if they already exist, updates them. If you unload and load a process structure containing a DIPA, Teamcenter displays a node in the structure representing the DIPA, but the node contains no parts. Note The DIPA name is set by default to bl_rev_object_name. The default can be changed by modifying the preference MEDynamicIPADisplayName.

4. (Optional) Recalculate the DIPA in response to changes in the participating structures.
