CompositionSpecification

Before reading these implementation guidelines, it is highly recommended to read the “Instantiation of Components” section in the VEC Online Model Description. This Implementation Guideline complements the Specification Chapter Instantiation of Components with concrete examples and detailed definitions for specific use cases.

Before reading these implementation guidelines, it is highly recommended to read the “Composite Part Descriptions” section and its subsections in the VEC Online Model Description first. Whereas the model description defines the general concepts of multilevel composite parts and 100% and 150% variance for those parts, this implementation guideline follows a use case oriented approach and explains the correct usage of the different aspects of a VEC implementation (e.

Assemblies, Modules and Harness (Configurations) The KBL introduced different concepts for composite parts: harnesses, modules, harness configurations and assemblies. The KBL defines a harness as a set of occurrences, just like an assembly.

Harness and Variants In addition to the CompositionSpecification and the PartStructureSpecification, the VEC defines two other concepts to control occurrences, especially composite parts (e.g. modules): ModuleFamily and ModuleList. PartWithSubComponentsRoles referenced by a ModuleFamily respectively the OccurrenceOrUsage these PartWithSubComponentRoles belong to are mutually exclusive.

Assemblies, Modules and Harness (Configurations) The VEC composite part concept has four key classes: the PartStructureSpecification, the PartWithSubComponentsRole, the CompositionSpecification and the PartUsageSpecification. As mentioned in the example before, the PartStructureSpecification is used to define the bill of material for a composite part based on occurrences.
