Business objects required to extend Teamcenter for structures on Active Workspace
Explore the essential business objects required to extend Teamcenter for structures on Active Workspace, focusing on the Awb0Element root type business object and its specialized sub-types. You can also explore various business objects, including the Awb0ConditionalElement for effectivity and variant conditions, Awb0Connection for non-geometric occurrences, Awb0DesignElement for geometric occurrences, Awb0Interface for generic design elements, Awb0PartElement for part revisions, and Awb0PositionedElement for item revisions with geometry.
Active content provides a number of business objects to represent the occurrences returned by the various structure applications. Awb0Element is the root type and is abstract. The following table lists the default active content types that represent occurrence types for BVR structures.
| Business object | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Awb0ConditionalElement | Represents an occurrence with effectivity and variant conditions. Generic design element (GDE) lines do not have effectivity or variant conditions; they should not be mapped to this type or its subtypes. |
| Awb0Connection | Represents an occurrence that does not have any associated geometry information. |
| Awb0DesignElement | Represents an occurrence with geometry. It provides the properties for managing geometry, for example, bounding box and transform. Objects of this type can be visualized in the viewers. |
| Awb0Element | Represents the root business object for all occurrence management objects. An element is identified by a name and can belong in a structure with a parent-child relationship. This is an abstract object and should not be mapped with any item revision type. |
| Awb0Interface | Represents the generic design element. |
| Awb0PartElement | Represents a part type and is mapped with the part revision. All the part-specific properties and behavior are associated to the part element. |
| Awb0PositionedElement | Represents an item revision type with geometry. |
Hierarchy of business objects in the active content data model is shown in the figure (see source page for the diagram).
