Set up Structure Partitions

BOM engineers, designers, and downstream and upstream consumers mostly work with specific structures (assemblies) rather than the entire product itself. In the case of complex and large products, locating the required components of a product becomes tedious. To help users easily find the required structure in Teamcenter, BOM architects can divide a large product into smaller, manageable sections called partitions. Partitions can belong to different partition schemes such as functional, physical, or spatial. Every structure can be organized within one or more partitions as per the partition scheme without having the need to duplicate the structure. For example, the engine structure can be assigned to partitions in the physical and the functional partition schemes.

You, as an administrator, must set up Structure Partitions so that BOM architects can create the partition schemes and partitions.

See Structure Partitions ─ Usage.

Administrator

Deploy partition management

Install the Partitions for Structure feature either through Teamcenter Environment Manager (TEM) or through Deployment Center.

Change the default partition behavior

Configure partitions to suit your business needs.

Specify access privileges for partitions

Grant access rights to users in order to create partition schemes, partitions, and add or remove structure elements to or from partitions.

Create partitions from existing partition templates

First add partitions to a product structure from partition templates already available in Teamcenter. Next, add structure elements to the partitions.
