Using Assembly Simplified Representations
You can use assembly simplified representations in a drawing to control a repeat region of the model, and you can also show BOM balloons on the representation. When you use assembly simplified representations to control a repeat region, simplified representations of the same assembly behave entirely as different models.
A repeat region that reports on a simplified representation reports on that simplified representation itself, as opposed to the assembly. This includes the following:
If you substitute a component with anything other than a simplified representation of itself, the assembly tree itself is different.
The system does not show excluded components, even if they are in memory.
Parameter values set by assembly relations (except mass properties) reflect the represented states of the models within the assembly.
A repeat region is automatically associated with the current model or simplified representation.
If the current simplified representation changes, the repeat region is always associated with the original simplified representation when it was created or loaded.
If the current model is an assembly, the repeat region is associated with that assembly model.
If the current model is a simplified representation, it is associated with the simplified representation.
If you substitute a part or subassembly with a simplified representation, the system still displays it in the correct location in the assembly tree.
For example, if you substitute a part in the third level of the assembly with a simplified representation of the part, the report displays the substitution in the third level. This applies only to substitutions by simplified representations.
You can create a table or Bill of Materials with piping information in a drawing, so that the system updates the table automatically to reflect changes in the piping assembly. You can also customize drawing tables to reflect practices specific to your particular company.
