This section specifies the template assigning_product_configuration_effectivity.

NOTE An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is provided in the Template overview section.

Description

This template describes how to represent product configuration effectivity.

Model diagrams

The EXPRESS-G diagram in Figure 1 shows the templates and EXPRESS entities that are required to represent the template "assigning_product_configuration_effectivity". The text highlighted in blue shows the template parameters.

Figure 1 — An EXPRESS-G representation of the Information model for assigning_product_configuration_effectivity

The graphic for the template to be used in other EXPRESS-G diagrams is shown in Figure 2 below.

Input parameters

The following input parameters are defined for this template:

configuration (Type= 'ENTITY (Item_design_association)' )

Defines the product configuration for which the usage is effective.

usage (Type= 'ENTITY (View_definition_usage)' )

Defines the usage of an item which is constrained by the effectivity.

effectivity (Type= 'ENTITY (Effectivity)' )

Defines the effectivity domain, e.g. dated effectivity, serial effectivity etc.

Reference parameters

The following reference parameters are defined for this template:

item_usage_eff(Type='ENTITY (Item_usage_effectivity)')

Allow the Item_usage_effectivity entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Item_usage_effectivity entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $assigning_product_configuration_effectivity.item_usage_eff%

where target is the parameter to which the Item_usage_effectivity is bound.

Instantiation path

The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be instantiated by the template.

A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is provided in the Templates Help/Information section.

Item_usage_effectivity

-- Mark the Item_usage_effectivity entity as
-- referable when this template is used by binding it to the reference
-- parameter ^item_usage_eff
%^item_usage_eff = Item_usage_effectivity%
Item_usage_effectivity.resolved_configuration -> @configuration
Item_usage_effectivity.item_usage_relationship -> @usage
Item_usage_effectivity.effectivity_domain -> @effectivity

Instance diagrams

The instance diagram in Figure 3 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:

/assigning_product_configuration_effectivity(configuration='#1', usage='#2', effectivity='#3')/

(an illustration of the consolidated assigning_product_configuration_effectivity template is shown in Figure 4 below.)

The instance diagram in Figure 4 shows the graphic symbol for the template that is to be used in other instance diagrams. The example template is:

/assigning_product_configuration_effectivity(configuration='#1', usage='#2', effectivity='#3')/

Characterizations

No common characterizations of the template assigning_product_configuration_effectivity have been identified. However, the ISO 10303-239 EXPRESS model may enable other assignments to the entities instantiated by the template.
