Searching for matching components

You can build a tooling assembly easier and faster in Active Workspace by using the information on the Matching Components tab. This information allows you to choose from a list of classified objects that fit with the selected component.

Note

The available tabs and their order can differ depending on what templates were imported and where you are in Active Workspace.

Example

In the Search results, select D16x35 EndMill_Indexable and select the Matching Components tab. The components that can be used with the end mill are grouped by components that attach Upwards, or closer to the machine, and components that attach Downwards, or closer to the workpiece.

The Matching Components tab is available for item type Resource and for Resource subtypes.

Note

The template Manufacturing Resource Manager (MRL) must be installed in order for the Matching Components tab become available. It is installed using the Teamcenter Environment Manager and is found under Server extensions.

Connection types (CT) and connection point definitions (CPD) must be imported in order to take advantage of Matching Components. These rules are delivered with MRL and can be imported using one of two options:

• Import rules and preferences

• Guided Component Search rules for tool components

You access the Matching Components tab from the Home folder, from the Search results page, from the Item Revision page, and from the assembly content page.
