Knowledge

This document explains how to customize Knowledge settings for Knowledge products.

This page deals with the following categories of options in the General > Parameters and measure > Knowledge tab:

Parameter Tree View
There are 2 types of items that you can display in the specification tree.

With value

Displays the parameter values in the specification tree.

By default, this option is unchecked.

With formula

Displays the formulas constraining the parameter in the specification tree.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Relations Update in 3D Shape Context
You can choose, when creating the relation, if it will be synchronous (i.e. the evaluation will be launched as soon as one of its parameters is modified) or asynchronous (i.e. the evaluation will be launched when the Part is updated). Each relation can therefore be synchronous or asynchronous. The 2 following options enable the user to create synchronous or asynchronous relations.

Creation of synchronous relations

Enables you to create synchronous relations, that is to say relations that will be immediately updated if one of their parameters/inputs is modified. Relations based on parameters are the only one that can be synchronous.

By default, this option is unchecked

Creation of relations evaluated during the global update

Enables you to associate the evaluation of asynchronous relations with the global update. The relations can be asynchronous for 2 reasons:


  • You want the relations to be asynchronous
  • The relation contains measures.

  • Relations based on parameters: These relations can be synchronous or asynchronous.
  • Relations based on geometry: These relations can only be asynchronous.
  • Relations based on parameters and on geometry: For the part of the relations containing parameters, you decide if you want the update to be synchronous or not. For the other part of the relations, the update occurs when the global update is launched.

    By default, this option is checked.

Important: Note that you can also decide if already existing relations are synchronous or asynchronous. To know more, see Controlling Relations Update in the Infrastructure User's Guide.

Design Tables
There are 2 types of items that you can set up.

Automatic Synchronization at Load

When loading a model containing user design tables, if the design table files have been modified and the external file data is contained in the model, the design table will be synchronized automatically if this option is selected.

By default, this option is checked.

Interactive Synchronization at Load

When loading a model containing user design tables whose external source file was deleted, this option enables you to select a new source file or to save the data contained in the design tables in a new file.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Manual Synchronization

When loading a model containing user design tables, if the design table files have been modified and the external file data is contained in the model, the design table will be synchronized if this option is selected. To synchronize both files, right-click the design table in the specification tree and select DesignTable object>Synchronize or Edit>Links.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Default Mode: Copy Data Into Model

If checked, the data contained in the external source file will be copied into the model.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Default Mode: Do Not Copy Data Into Model

If checked, the data contained in the external source file will not be copied into the model.

By default, this option is checked.

Allow the user to retrieve the representations
If checked, enables the user to work with files created before V6R2011.
Allow the user to retrieve the PLM documents
If checked, enables the user to work with PLM documents only.

By default, this option is checked.
