Function Structure Navigator/Functions

[About Product Functions] [To Design Standard Product]

Usage

Use this tab window to identify the engineering functions that you want to use for your product model. 
The engineering function structure is a conceptual level of product construction. Functions can be arranged in a structure. Each function on the bottom level can also have parts and the corresponding part structures attached.  The purpose is to organize the product structure so that it is familiar to multiple disciplines and to help with the construction of a product without having to immediately decide all its properties.
A function is the intended use of connected part(s). One part can be connected to more than one function, i.e., it can have several functions in the product structure.
The Characteristics functionality in Application Services can be used to handle technical data on each model function. The function characteristics are accessed with the Connected Objects option on the toolbar. Note that the functions themselves must be defined in Product Basic Data/Functions.
