CMI Release 10.1 Functional Overview - CATIA Teamcenter ...

Expand for Visualization
The context menue of the Catia Item representations in the CATIA Workbench contains a
new option “Expand for Visualisation.
The option expands the selected Branch over multiple levels with models displayed. If a
part with an attached Visualization-model is found the expand is stopped at this node and
only the Visualization-model is expanded.
In CATIA V5 a new menu item Build Visualization is available that builds up or updates a
visualization file from a selected product and stores the visualization under the selected
item. These cgr can then be created/updated with the CMI Synchronize command.
Use BOM -- NO BOM geometries
NON BOM Relevant CATParts
The CATIA V5 module can now handle two different types of CATParts.
BOM relevant and
NON BOM relevant.
NON BOM relevant CATParts are CATIA V5 geometry files which are stored as model
under a Part in Teamcenter. In CATIA V5 the Part and model is build up as CATProduct
and CatPart (see Figure 1).
