Configuring Equivalence Network Delegate
Objective
Configure the equivalence network delegate to display custom output.
Problem Statement
Display the equivalence network for a part based on the following customization points:
• Change the navigation criteria.
• Restrict the path that appears in the Equivalence Network attribute.
• Add additional data into network beans for custom output.
Background
The equivalence network delegate is introduced to customize the value displayed in the Equivalence Network attribute.
For example, an Engine assembly has equivalent parts in the view: Design – Manufacturing – Plant1 – Plant2 – Plant3. This path is displayed using the Equivalence Network attribute. You can restrict the path to display the network until Plant 2: Design – Manufacturing – Plant1 – Plant2. To do so, you need a custom delegate.
Scope, Applicability, or Assumptions
In most cases, you may need to write some code to achieve your business use case, to get the output that you want.
Intended Outcome
Display the desired equivalence network in the part information page or in BOM Transformer.
