Derived Data Generation Overview

Integration with Other Applications > Windchill Workgroup Manager Documentation > Cadence Team Design Option > Administration and Configuration > Derived Data Generation Overview

Using Windchill Workgroup Manager for Cadence Team Design Option, you can generate the following types of derived data:

• Master BOM (logical or physical)

• Variant BOM (logical or physical)

The Windchill preference: Default Part Structure Source must be set to determine whether BOMs are generated from the schematic or the physical board object. For additional information, see Setting Preferences in Windchill.

• PDF (logical)

• Generic (user-defined)

• Viewable (graphical)

• Viewables are Windchill-specific and provide a thumbnail graphic of the schematic or board.

• PTC Creo View must be installed on the client machine.

• adw_pvs.bat is used on the client to generate the viewable as a .pvz file.

To generate derived data to your specifications, you customize your project policy file as well as the ADWSchemaConfig file located in the Cadence Team Design Option configuration directory on the client systems where the derived data generation is invoked. The custom code that you insert in these files specifies the type of derived data that you want to generate as well as the design object type that generates it.

For details on how to customize these files, see Customizing the Policy File to Generate Derived Data and Customizing the Client ADWSchemaConfig.xml File.
