Template:— assigning_zone (asg_zone) Date: 2008/03/05 16:17:55
Revision: 1.3

This section specifies the template assigning_zone.

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 an association the between an item and a the zone its in.

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

Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
zone (Type= 'ENTITY (Zone_element_definition)' )
The zone (Zone_element_definition) to which the @item is related.
item (Type= 'SELECT (in_zone_item)' )
The entity which relates to the @zone.
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
in_zone(Type='ENTITY (In_zone)')
Allow the In_zone entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The In_zone entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $assigning_zone.in_zone%
where target is the parameter to which the In_zone 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.
In_zone

-- Mark the In_zone entity as
-- referable when this template is used by binding it to the reference
-- parameter ^in_zone
%^in_zone = In_zone%
^in_zone.id = '/IGNORE'
^in_zone.name = '/IGNORE'
^in_zone.description = '/IGNORE'
^in_zone.located_item -> @item
^in_zone.zone -> @zone
The following entities are instantiated with attributes as specified:
Entity in path Value Inherited from
In_zone.id '/IGNORE'
In_zone.name '/IGNORE'
In_zone.description '/IGNORE'
Instance diagrams
The instance diagram in Figure  3 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:
/assigning_zone(item='#2', zone='#48')/
(an illustration of the consolidated assigning_zone template is shown in Figure 4 below.)

NOTE    The input parameter zone = '#48' refers to the Zone_element_definition entity instantiated in the template representing_zone_element.

The instance model in STEP ASCII exchange file format (ISO 10303 Part 21 syntax) is:
#2 = PART_VIEW_DEFINITION('/IGNORE','/IGNORE','/IGNORE',#3,(),#4); #1 = IN_ZONE('/IGNORE','/IGNORE','/IGNORE',#2,#48); #48 = ZONE_ELEMENT_DEFINITION('/IGNORE','/IGNORE','/IGNORE',#49,(),#26);
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_zone(item='#2', zone='#48')/

NOTE    The input parameter zone = '#48' refers to the Zone_element_definition entity instantiated in the template representing_zone_element.

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