Example 2 - Case B: Concurrent Engineering - Non-BOM-Relevant Assemblies (ManBIM)

Prerequisites for this example:

the configuration has been set analogous to the drawing derivation in the model drawing (see Example 1: Configuration (ManBIM)).
the model drawing is already managed in the database.
the assemblies Platform 1 and Platform 2 are non-BOM-relevant structure assemblies.

Step 1: Load model drawing (Document) with Management + BIM > Drawing > Part... .

Step 2: Create referenced detail drawing for Platform 1

In the ICN, activate the assembly Platform 1 and select Management + BIM > Drawing > Reference .

In the Reference, Save dialogue window, choose the following options: External referencing, Create + Save detail drawing, Database, with new article master and Enter document master for part. Confirm with OK.

Enter the article attributes for the part document, and confirm with OK.

Important:
In contrast to Case A, a query for the BOM-relevance will be displayed here (see below). The reason for this is that the assembly in the original model drawing is not BOM-relevant.

Click No.

Enter the article and document attributes for the Part document, and the document master data for the detail drawings. Close all windows with OK.

Tip:
Assign a number for the construction section to the detail drawing.

When you itemise and save the detail drawings with the functions on the Management + BIM tab, all articles contained in this drawing will then also automatically obtain this construction section number. Via the link "Construction unit" you can then perform a targeted search in HELiOS for all articles that belong to a particular drawing, which facilitates searching in large and complex model drawings.

As no complete itemisation has taken place yet (this will be done later in the detail drawing), the message shown below will be displayed. Click OK (if desired, you can also suppress this message.)

In the original model drawing, the assembly will be marked as "referenced" .

Step 3: Load detail drawing and itemize

In the Switch drawing window of the ICN, click on an empty thumbnail and load the previously created detail drawing with Management + BIM > Drawing > Open .

Please note:
In the detail drawing, the structure assembly Platform 1 has become a main assembly. This main assembly is not BOM-relevant and has no item number.

Now you can process the detail drawing. In this example we will only itemize the parts by selecting Management + BIM > Drawing > Itemisation .

Select Management + BIM > Drawing > Save to save the complete model drawing.

Step 4: Create detail drawing for Platform 2 and itemize

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for Platform 2.

The original model drawing now contains parts which belong to different assemblies and - although they are no identical parts - have the same item number. But, since itemisation has taken place in the detail drawings, this will not be relevant here.

Furthermore, the item numbers of these assemblies are locked in the original model drawing, i.e. if you perform an itemisation in the original model drawing, the item numbers assigned via the detail drawings will be preserved.

The processing, drawing derivation and release can now be performed in the referenced detail drawings of the assemblies- also from different workstations if desired.

Then, proceed as described in Steps 6 - 11 of Example 1.
