Knowledge  

This page deals with these categories of options:

Parameter Tree View

There are 2 types of items that you can display in the specification tree.

With value
Displays the parameter values in the specification tree.

By default, this option is unchecked.

With formula
Displays the formulas constraining  the parameter  in the specification tree.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Parameter names

This option should be checked if you work with non-Latin characters. If this option is unchecked,  parameter names should have to be renamed in Latin characters when used in formulas.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Relations update in part context

Before V5R12, Knowledge relations (formulas, rules, checks, design tables, and sets of equations) used to execute as soon as one of their inputs was modified.
You can now choose, when creating the relation, if it will be synchronous (i.e. the evaluation will be launched as soon as one of its parameters is modified) or asynchronous (i.e. the evaluation will be launched when the Part is updated). Each relation can therefore be synchronous or asynchronous.

The 2 following options enable the user to create synchronous or asynchronous relations.

Creation of synchronous relations
Enables you to create synchronous relations, that is to say relations that will be immediately updated if one of their parameters/inputs is modified. Relations based on parameters are the only one that can be synchronous.

By default, this option is unchecked

Creation of relations evaluated during the global update
Enables you to associate the evaluation of asynchronous relations with the global update. The relations can be asynchronous for 2 reasons:
  • You want the relations to be asynchronous
  • The relation contains measures.
  • Relations based on parameters: These relations can be synchronous or asynchronous.
  • Relations based on geometry: These relations can only be asynchronous.
  • Relations based on parameters and on geometry: For the part of the relations containing parameters, you decide if you want the update to be synchronous or not. For the other part of the relations, the update occurs when the global update is launched.
    Note that you can also decide if already existing relations are synchronous or asynchronous. To know more, see Controlling Relations Update in the Infrastructure User's Guide.

By default, this option is checked.

Design Tables

Design Table is now compatible with both 32 bits and 64 bits versions of Microsoft Office 2013. Also, all previous versions of Microsoft Office are supported due to downward compatibility.

There are 2 types of items that you can set up.

Automatic Synchronization at Load
When loading a model containing user design tables, if the design table files have been modified and the external file data is contained in the model, the design table will be synchronized automatically if this option is selected.

By default, this option is checked.

Interactive Synchronization at Load
When loading a model containing user design tables whose external source file was deleted, this option enables you to select a new source file or to save the data contained in the design tables in a new file.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Manual Synchronization
When loading a model containing user design tables, if the design table files have been modified and the external file data is contained in the model, the design table will be synchronized if this option is selected. To synchronize both files, right-click the design table in the specification tree and select DesignTable object>Synchronize or Edit>Links.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Default Mode: Copy Data Into Model
If checked, the data contained in the external source file will be copied into the model.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Default Mode: Do Not Copy Data Into Model
If checked, the data contained in the external source file will not be copied into the model.

By default, this option is checked.
