Set assembly tree creation options

Procedure

  1. Choose Tools→Assembly Tree→Create/Update Assembly Tree.Teamcenter displays the Create Assembly Tree dialog box.

  2. Click Options.Teamcenter displays the Generate Assembly Tree Options dialog box.

  3. Do any of the following as necessary:

To specify for which process elements an IPA is created as a structure is traversed, click Process Types and select the process types from the Available process types list.

To specify which consumed object types appear in the assembly tree, click Occurrence Types and select the consumption types from the Available occurrence types list.

To specify the effectivity of the generated IPA, click the Effectivity tab and enter the effectivity details.

To specify the name of the error and problems report, click the Log Files tab and type the name in the Attachment Name box. This report contains all the problems or conflicts that occurred during generate/update that need to be addressed, for example, missing targets, locked nodes, or checked out nodes. Teamcenter saves this file as an attachment on the top-level process element on which the assembly tree was generated/updated. You can open this attachment, copy the problematic node name from the log file, and search for it in the process structure. You can choose to run a local update, or even a full update to correct the problem.

To create a run-time statistics log, select the Create run-time statistics log file check box in the Log File pane. This log is also added as an attachment to the top process revision.

When Teamcenter creates the assembly tree, it places a configuration file as an attachment on the process for which you generate the IPA. You can see this file in the Attachment view.
