PartUsage

Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0

PartUsages shall be used for the specification of the elements on an electrical system wiring plan and for the specification of the elements on a pure geometry description. PartUsages shall more than ever be used in cases where it is necessary to describe a certain instance of a part or part group, possibly together with certain technical properties, but where it is at the same time yet not possible to define a concrete part number.

The primary type of the PartUsage defines the type of the described part (e.g. ConnectorHousing, Fixing, etc.) Since the VEC supports dual use parts (e.g. Fixing & WireProtection) there is no direct connection between the primaryPartUsageType and the allowed specifications for the description of a PartUsage.
