Using the Manufacturing Resource Library

To assist you in filling the classification hierarchy with data, you can use the Manufacturing Resource Library. When you install this library, the data is organized in a detailed classification structure of manufacturing data such as tools, machines, fixtures, assemblies, and components, including tool graphics.

The tooling classification tree contains two hierarchies:

• An initially empty catalog hierarchy (Vendor Catalogs) that can contain tool components found in major tool vendor catalogs

• A customer hierarchy (Tools) that contains the components and assemblies used at your site

You can copy relevant components from the catalog into the customer hierarchy using the mapping definitions that are delivered with the vendor catalog tooling library. After installing the Manufacturing Resource Library, you can install vendor catalogs from various tool vendors to fill the catalog hierarchy.

Note

Vendor catalogs are provided separately and are not part of the Manufacturing Resource Library installation kit. Contact your Siemens Digital Industries Software representative for more details.

Warning

Do not modify the catalog data as these changes are lost when the vendor catalogs are updated. Save all your customer-specific components and assemblies in the customer hierarchy.

Part family templates that you can use to quickly create graphics are included in some component classes. To find the classes to which part family templates are assigned, search the class hierarchy for the DIN4003 alias name using the quick search feature.

The Manufacturing Resource Library is provided with the Teamcenter installation image. It is updated regularly.
