Set or unset the required variant rule

To set a variant rule and configure a particular variant of the structure, click the Variant Rule button on the toolbar or choose Tools→Variant Rule. Teamcenter displays the Variant Rule dialog box. You can sort the options in the dialog box by any of the columns, such as Option (name) or State, by clicking the column header.

Note If you use an overlay, you can apply multiple saved variant rules (SVRs) to a BOM. Teamcenter evaluates these multiple values as an OR expression. For example: Copy SVR1: Engine=V6 AND Color=Red SVR2: Engine=V8 In this example, you can load both SVR1 and SVR2, and then configure the BOM using both rules. The values are evaluated as: Copy (Engine=V6 OR Engine=V8) AND (Color=Red) Default checks, derived default checks, and rule checks are not evaluated in an overlay configuration. Any value not set by a rule are shown as empty.
