Lesson 2: Assembly reports

Types of assembly reports

Solid Edge creates reports that provide information about the components that make up an assembly.You can create:

• Assembly reports—For assembly and structural frame models, assembly reports list the partsand subassemblies in the model. You can generate these types of reports:

o Bill of Materials—This report supports item number levels that match the assembly structure.

o Exploded Bill of Materials

o Summary of Atomic Parts

o Parts List—This report is a flat list that shows the quantity of each element.

• Pipe reports—For pipe and tubing models, lists the pipes and fittings in an assembly.

• Harness reports—For wire harness models, lists the harness components and connections in anassembly. You can create the following types of wire reports:

o Top Level

o Expanded

You can create assembly reports for managed documents and unmanaged documents.

• For unmanaged documents, the report information is collected from the local file properties ofthe referenced part or assembly documents.

• For Solid Edge SP managed documents, the property information is collected from the list ofproperties defined in the SharePoint managed document profile, not the local file properties.

Producing assembly bill of material reports

To produce an assembly bill of materials, you can run the Reports command from the Solid EdgeAssembly environment, from Revision Manager, or from Windows Explorer. In Explorer, the Reportscommand is available on the shortcut menu of an assembly document (.asm).

Note

The Reports command is not available in Windows Explorer for assemblies that are in amanaged library. To create a report for a managed assembly, you must open the assembly inSolid Edge or Revision Manager. Also, the Reports command is not available if you havestandalone Insight Connect loaded. To create a report in standalone Insight Connect, you mustopen the assembly in View and Markup or Revision Manager.

Page 8: Assembly reports - Siemens...Contents Proprietaryandrestrictedrightsnotice ..... 2 Introduction ..... 1-1 Lesson1: Introduction WelcometoSolidEdgeself-pacedtraining ...

Lesson 2: Assembly reports

Producing pipe reports

For pipe parts, you can use the Pipe Report command in XpresRoute to create a report for thepipes and fittings in an assembly. This displays the Piping Report dialog box for you to specifyreport type and content:

• Report all the pipes in the assembly.

• Report only the currently selected pipes.

• Include pipe fittings.

• Create a total length or cut length report.

The Pipe Report command is not available if there are no pipes in the file.

Producing harness reports

For wire harness parts, you can run the Harness Reports command from Harness Design to createa report for the components and connections in an assembly.

When you run the Harness Reports command in Harness Design, you can specify which harnesselements to include in the report:

• All the harness components (or connections) in the assembly

• Only the currently selected components (or connections)

• Only the currently displayed components (or connections)

Note

• To create a report on selected parts, select the parts before selecting the Reportscommand.

• You can use the Show and Hide commands to control which harness elements aredisplayed.

Weldment assembly reports

You can use the Reports dialog box to specify whether a weldment assembly is treated as a singlecomponent, similar to a part; or as an assembly, where all its component parts are included in thereport.

When you set the Expand Weldment Assemblies option, the component parts in the assembly areincluded in the report. When you clear this option, the weldment assembly is treated as a single part,and the component parts are excluded from the report.

Alternate assembly reports

If the assembly has been converted to an alternate assembly, in Solid Edge the report is createdfor the active member. In Windows Explorer and Revision Manager you can use the FOA MemberNames dialog box to specify which member you want to create a report for.

Page 9: Assembly reports - Siemens...Contents Proprietaryandrestrictedrightsnotice ..... 2 Introduction ..... 1-1 Lesson1: Introduction WelcometoSolidEdgeself-pacedtraining ...

Assembly reports

Virtual components

If the assembly for which you are creating a report contains virtual components, use theReports command on the Tools menu in the Assembly environment to generate the report.Teamcenter-managed virtual components are included in the report.

Caution

If you run the Reports command from Windows Explorer on an assembly that has virtualcomponents, the virtual components will not be contained in the report. In a case where theassembly contains only virtual components, a message may be displayed that states that noparts are in the file.

Showing assembly item numbers in reports

You can show assembly item numbers in assembly and structural frame reports, and in pipe reports.Assembly item numbers are saved with the assembly and are available for downstream use, forexample, in balloons placed on a model and in ballooned parts lists placed on an assembly drawing.This ensures consistent part numbering is propagated across all applications of the model.

• To create item numbers in the assembly, select the Maintain item numbers check box in theItem Numbers page (Solid Edge Options dialog box).

• To use these item numbers in assembly reports, select the Use assembly generated itemnumbers check box, which is available in the Report dialog box.

Alternatively, you can leave this option unchecked and have the assembly Report commandgenerate item numbers on the fly.

See the help topic, Item numbers in assemblies.

Formatting a report

You can format the report using the Format option on the Reports dialog box. Using the FormatReport dialog box, you can set the following:

• Font

• Column headings (based on available properties)

• Sorting method

Each property you include in the report will be a new report column. Standard properties you canchoose from include Quantity, Document Number, Revision, and Author. You can also include customfile properties that you have recorded in the part and subassembly documents.

After you have formatted the report, you can preview the report output by selecting the OK button onthe Format Report dialog box.

Lesson 2: Assembly reports

Report Column Source

Many of the values shown in a report are stored in File Properties for individual parts andsubassemblies that make up the assembly. Other values, such as mass, are calculated or addedby choosing a material from the material table.

You can use the various tabs on the File Properties dialog box to control some of the report values,such as Document Number, Revision Number, Title, and Comments.

More information on the File Properties dialog box is found in the Property Text source list help topic.

Outputting the report

After previewing the report, you have the following options:

• Save the current report.

• Print the current report.

• Copy the current report to the Clipboard.

• Create another report.

Saving a report

The Save As option allows you to define a storage location, document name, and output type. Youcan output the report as a text file (.txt) or rich text file (.rtf).

Adding properties to managed documents

If you add new custom properties to managed Solid Edge documents, you must also add theseproperties to the managed document profile on the SharePoint server to make them available inan assembly report. Managed document profiles are stored in the Document Profiles folder onthe SharePoint server. To properly synchronize the Solid Edge file properties and the SharePointmanaged document profile properties, the property names must match exactly.

Lesson 3: Item numbers in assemblies

Item numbers for parts and subassemblies can be created and maintained automatically in anassembly model. Item numbers are based on the assembly structure, that is, the order in which parts,subassemblies, and assemblies are displayed in Assembly PathFinder.

Once created, you can use assembly item numbers in assembly reports, including pipe and tubingreports produced in XpresRoute, and structural frame design reports. The item numbers are savedwith the assembly and are available for downstream use, for example, in PMI balloons placed on themodel and in ballooned parts lists on an assembly drawing. This ensures consistent part numberingis propagated across all applications of the model.

Creating item numbers in assemblies

You can create item numbers in an assembly model by selecting the Maintain item numbers checkbox in the Item Numbers page (Solid Edge Options dialog box). As new items are added to theassembly, new item numbers are created. If items are removed from the assembly, their itemnumbers are not available for reuse.

You can remove item numbers from the assembly by deselecting the Maintain item numbers checkbox.

Item number creation can be enabled and disabled at any time.

• Item numbers can be generated as the assembly is built by enabling item number creation beforeitems are added to the assembly.

• In some cases, it may be better to enable item numbers after most of the assembly structurehas been created.

Editing item numbers

You can edit item numbers in the model by selecting the top level assembly occurrence in PathFinderand choosing the Occurrence Properties command. The Item Number column in the OccurrencesProperties dialog box shows the assembly item numbers. You can:

• Change existing item numbers.

• Add missing item numbers using the Next Available Number command on the shortcut menu.

• Use the Reset Item Numbers command on the shortcut menu to cancel your edits and restore theitem numbers generated by the assembly structure.

Lesson 3: Item numbers in assemblies

Using assembly item numbers in reports

You can use the assembly-generated item numbers in assembly reports when you select the Useassembly generated items number check box in the assembly Report dialog box. The item numbersare shown when you select the Format button to open the Format Report dialog box or in theReport Output dialog box.

See the help topic, Create a report.

Using assembly item numbers in PMI balloons

You can display assembly item numbers in PMI balloons placed on the model.

When you select the PMI tab→Annotation group→Balloon command, you can use these optionson the Balloon command bar to retrieve the item numbers from the assembly and display them inthe balloon:

• Item Number button

• Item Count button

Using assembly item numbers on a drawing

On an assembly drawing, you can:

• Review the assembly generated item numbers on the Item Number page (Parts List Propertiesdialog box). The numbers shown in the first column correspond to the assembly structure.

• Show the assembly generated item numbers in a ballooned parts list by selecting the Useassembly generated items number check box on the Options page (Parts List Properties dialogbox).

Lesson 3: Item numbers in assemblies

Synchronizing Item Numbers with Teamcenter Find Numbers

In the Teamcenter-managed environment, the integration of Solid Edge Item Numbers with TeamcenterFind Numbers is governed by the Teamcenter preference SEEC_Synchronize_ItemNumbers. Thispreference, delivered by SEEC Administrator, provides a single point for enabling and configuringItem Number options. When you enable SEEC_Synchronize_ItemNumbers the Item Numbers pagein Solid Edge Options is available for viewing only. Definitions are based on the values specified bythe preference.

By enabling SEEC_Synchronize_ItemNumbers, you can construct a view in Structure Manager that isconsistent with a draft's parts list. Synchronization is bi-directional. Existing structures that containnon-modeled items (virtual components) and associated occurrences cannot be reset. The itemnumbers are locked. However, when an Item Number is assigned either through reset or when placinga new occurrence, the numbers assigned do not conflict with numbers locked by virtual components.

There are a few important rules to be aware of:

• Item Numbers are supported at the top level only.

• Item Number ownership determines whether Solid Edge or Teamcenter is responsible for ItemNumber generation. When /Master=Both, item numbers are generated in the application thatcreated the new occurrence. When /Master=Tc, or /Master=Teamcenter, only Teamcenter cangenerate item numbers.

• The Teamcenter preference, PS_new_seqno_mode, should be set to Existing whensynchronizing Solid Edge Item Numbers with Teamcenter Find Numbers. The value of thispreference is displayed on the Solid Edge Options→ Item Numbers page.

• Any change to the Item Number options results in a reset.

• Item Numbers assigned to non-modeled Item Revisions are considered locked or fixed. TheseBOM lines are not included in Solid Edge Save.

• Solid Edge does not assign an Item Number that is currently assigned to non-modeled ItemRevisions.

• The reset command will not impact an Item Number that is currently assigned to a non-modeledrevision.

• Item Numbers must be unique by document link. If they are not unique, Solid Edge keeps thelowest Item Number and assigns it to all occurrences of that link.

For details about preference options, see the Teamcenter Preferences section of the Solid EdgeAdministrator's Guide.

Lesson 4: Exploded parts lists

You can use the Parts List command and options in the Parts List Properties dialog box to defineand place an exploded parts list on an assembly drawing. An exploded parts list itemizes allsubassemblies and component parts in the top-level assembly. Create this type of parts list when youwant to show the entire structure of an assembly.

Use the General tab (or the Parts List command bar) to:

• Select the default Solid Edge Exploded parts list style from the Saved Settings list.

• Define a custom exploded parts list style.

Use the Options tab to:

• Show the item numbers that were created in the assembly.

Using item numbers from the model ensures the parts list item numbers do not change unless themodel does. Otherwise, item numbers are generated on-the-fly by the Parts List command.

Note

You can use the assembly model item numbers when the Maintain item numbers checkbox is selected in the assembly document on the Item Numbers tab in the Solid EdgeOptions dialog box. For more information, see Item numbers in assemblies.

Use the List Control tab to:

• Display subassemblies and subassembly parts in an exploded parts list.

You also can selectively exclude individual parts or components from the parts list.

• Show the top level assembly in a row by itself.

• Choose the item numbering format:

o Level based item numbers, which indicate the hierarchy of an exploded parts list.

o Flat list item numbers.

• Select the option, Multiply by subassembly count, to display the following information in theexploded parts list:

o Total Subassembly Quantity

o Total Part Quantity

Use the Columns tab to:

• Select and format the Item Number column headers and column data. If you are usinglevel-based numbers, you can indent the item numbers and the content of data cells.

Lesson 4: Exploded parts lists

• Select additional data columns—Mass (Item), Mass (Quantity), Miter Cut 1, and Miter Cut2—when generating parts lists for assembly models containing frames, pipes, or tubes.

Use the Sorting page to:

• Sort the item numbers in the same order that they are shown in Assembly PathFinder.

Note

Unless the assembly has been saved in V17 or later, the parts list order may not matchthe Assembly PathFinder order.
