Use the Assembly browser to manage parts and modules during the assembly building process. This browser can be accessed from the View menu when the RADIOSS, OptiStruct, Nastran, LS-DYNA, and Abaqus user profiles are loaded.

Currently, Bill-of-Material (BOM) file support is limited to PLMXML assembly files from Teamcenter. For more details on the required Teamcenter configuration, supported PLMXML file formats, and supported transfer modes, please contact your local Teamcenter support. Once the necessary configuration is made in Teamcenter, you can import the file in HyperMesh for representation management, batchmeshing, connectors, and exporting the meshes and solver files.

The Assembly browser structure is laid out in a table format. The different modules are displayed in the Entities column, and each module’s representation, material, PID, and thickness information is displayed in the columns that follow.

The Assembly browser contains advanced filtering tools to filter BOMs based on their properties, existence of representation, and so on. To display the filtering tools, click assembly_browser_filter.

assembly_browser_1

To filter BOMs, apply the following advanced filters:
