|
Full-text search (text
and number)
|
A
full-text search can also be performed for parts without
geometry or if there is no reference part available for a
geometric search ERP/PDM information is
automatically queried in the same run. Material, surface, preferred parts,
released parts, standard parts, etc. In
principle suited for all types of parts (also for parts
without geometry and electromagnetic parts)
|
|
|
Variables search
|
Simple use of logical operators
such as "greater", "smaller", "from - to", etc. Direct access to classified
attributes such as order number Search via common variables of the
selected directory level
|
|
|
Geometric search (3D)
|
Independent of textual
information Especially useful at company parts
without classification or parts not registered in the
ERP/PDM Even useful during the first steps
of modelling (prevention of duplicates) No expert knowledge required
concerning naming of parts
|
|
|
Sketch search (2D)
|
Independent of textual information
and usable without reference part cross-departmental, easy to
use No expert knowledge required
concerning naming of parts Step-by-step approach to the
desired part Result parts of a search provide
(new) search terms and may serve as reference part for
further deepening queries
|
|
|
Topology search
|
Especially useful where single
attributes are more characteristic than the outer
form. Independent of textual information
and can be performed without reference part Search in large assemblies
independently of the total geometry Step-by-step approach to the
desired part Result parts of a search provide
(new) search terms and may serve as reference part for
further deepening queries
