Import the class hierarchy

Use this procedure to initially populate the Teamcenter database with MRL classification structures for tools, machines, fixtures, factory resources, machining data library, manufacturing process templates, and vendor catalogs.

The following procedure assumes you have completed the steps in Beginning the installation. The installation wizard should currently display the Manufacturing Resource Library - Content Selection dialog box.

Procedure

1. Specify which types of data you want to load. The options listed indicate which modules have already been imported to the database. Depending on the information shown in brackets, you may have to return to the MRL Database Population - Type Selection dialog box to update the existing hierarchy for a particular module.For example, if this is displayed: You must return to the MRL Database Population - Type Selection dialog box and select Update hierarchy if you want to import the tool hierarchy, but you can proceed with this dialog to import the machine hierarchy.The following modules are available:

Vendor Catalogs Imports the empty MRM_Vendor class into which vendor catalogs can be imported.

Tools (Assemblies and Components) Imports the groups and classes used to classify tool assemblies and components.

Machines (New in MRL 6.1) Imports the groups and classes used to classify machines and devices such as chucks, jaws, or tool holders.

Fixtures and Devices (New in MRL 6.0) Imports the groups and classes used to classify clamping fixtures.

Measuring Devices Imports the groups and classes used to gauge, measure, and probe.

Factory Resources Imports the groups and classes used to classify resources used in the NX Line Designer such as conveyors or industrial components.

Machining Data Library Imports the groups and classes used to classify technology data such as feeds and speeds or material tables.

Manufacturing Process Templates Imports the groups and classes used to classify manufacturing processes, operations, or activities.

2. Click Next.Teamcenter displays the Confirmation dialog box.

3. Confirm that all your selections are correct and then click Next. Teamcenter installs the specified classification hierarchies.
