Business objects required to extend Teamcenter for structures on Active Workspace

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.
