Space Allocation App

introduction

Basically, there is 2 ways of creating Geographic Breakdown Structure (GBS) with associated 3D volumes

by designing individual close volume using Part Design Application and associate each volume to 3DSpace objects
- in this case we will apply the Skeleton methodology with one Part that contain the zone contour that can be parametrized + one body per zone
- each 3D Space object will point the geometry on each body
by designing an overall space tha twe will split by using cutting element

Note: 3D Space Datamodel has change in 2024x so some of the following video may not be 100% up to date

Create 3D Space with close contour: Simpliest method

Create 3D Space using cutting elements:

note: it is better to create a Space Concept Root as parent for the 3D Design Space object, this will allow to use the GBS to associate 3DSpace to Logical objects in "Logical Product Architecture" App

Create/modify Geographic breakdown structure (GBS) from neutral format import

Import - Export GBS Data with geometry through XML + step

XLS Import - Export GBS Data structure and attributes (no geometry) through XLS

Note : the XLS import command is available only through Env Variable . the communication of this Flag is under Dassault Systemes R&D control

Exemple of XLS import with simplified xls format. here is the list of the mandatory column that must be in the XLS file

Identifier : to define the path of each object(0 is mandatory for root)
Display Name : name of reference, actually the value in (R) Title column overwrites this value, but anyway it is required.
Type : NLS type name, such as Space Root, Design Space Reference…
Extensions : can be empty
(R) Title : title of reference
Instance Title : title of instance
You can add more columns to set attribute(NLS name of attribute)

exemple of simplified XLS file for import

Building App

The scpecialized Building and Civil CATIA App contains also some commands that generate 3DSpace
