Create occurrence groups in a composition

You can create occurrence groups containing absolute occurrences in a composition, as shown in the following figure.

Occurrence groups in a composition

The absolute occurrences for this composition are as follows:

Component	Absolute occurrence	Parent
Process	A1	None
Operation 1	A2	A1
Resource 1	A3	A2
Consumed Item C1	A4	A2
Consumed Item C2	A5	A2
Occurrence group 1	A6	A2
Occurrence for S1	A7	A6
Occurrence for S11	A8	A7
Occurrence for C5	A9	A8
Occurrence group 1 (2)	A10	A2
Occurrence for C5	A12	A8

The absolute occurrence of C5 in occurrence group 1 contains a copy of the entire path to the referring occurrence. This is necessary to map this instance of C5 to the corresponding instance in the product. If the path is already copied for another absolute occurrence, it is reused and not recopied.

You can configure a structure in a composition by associating a configurator context with it. You can paste or drag the configurator context onto the referenced structure, and the configurator context object appears as an attachment to the top line of the structure. Alternatively, you can right-click the configurator context and choose Attach Configurator Context to send it to the referenced structure.
