DocumentType

Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0

Defines the predefined DocumentTypes of a PartVersion. A certain DocumentType has normally a typical set of information that is defined within its scope. E.g. a part master document contains Specifications that are used for the description of a defined PartVersion.

The content and the degree of information a DocumentType may vary in the different processes.

General Information

Attribute Value
Owner core
Applied Stereotype

Enumeration Literals

Name Description
BaselineDefinition

The DocumentVersion represents the definition of a baseline (see BaselineSpecification).

PartMaster

Documents of this type describe the master data of a part / component (e.g. a ConnectorHousing, a Terminal, a Wire).

NetworkArchitecture
SystemSchematic
WiringDescription
HarnessDescription

Documents of this type contain the description of a Harness (which is for example the scope of the KBL).

InstallationDescription
ManufacturingDescription
RequirementsDescription

A requirements description is some kind of document that contains requirements for a certain part or a group of parts, their design or their properties. A requirements description can be a requirements specification (e.g. REQ-IF) or any other document containing requirements (e.g. a norm).

ChangeDescription
GraphicsSymbol

Documents of this type represent a graphical symbol (2D), which is normally an external file (e.g. an SVG, PNG). The use case for this document type are symbols that are used in 2D harness and form board drawings.

GeometryModel

Documents of this type represent a geometry model (3D) of a component or part, normally as a reference to an external file (e.g. a JT File or some native file of a 3D modelling tool). GeometryModels are original CAD Models and not simplified. Typical use cases are for example the models of components (e.g. connectors) used in a 3D model or the 3D visualization of a Harness.

GeometryModelSimplified

Documents of this type represent a geometry model (3D) of a component or part, normally as a reference to an external file (e.g. a JT File or some native file of a 3D modelling tool). Simplified means, that those models contain only details necessary for representation in wiring harness and not every detail (e.g. for production of the component itsself). For example a simplified connector model might not contain cavity details.

However, a simplified model could contain additional (meta-)information necessary in the harness development process (e.g. segment connection points).

GeometryModelOccurrence

Documents of this type represent a geometry model (3D) of a component or part, normally as a reference to an external file (e.g. a JT File or some native file of a 3D modelling tool). "Occurrence" means, that the model represents the component in a specific usage situation, meaning in a specific shape and position (e.g. a deformed grommet).

GeometryTemplate A GeometryTemplate is a GeometryModelSimplified whose actual appearence can be modified with a set of parameters, e.g. a tube can have a variable length, diameter and deformation. A specific set of parameters is defined in GeometryParameters.
GeometryParameters An actual set of parameters for a GeometryTemplate.
MasterDataDefinition

Documents of this type master data definition e.g. list valid UsageNodes or list valid Signals.

HarnessCoupling

DocumentVersions of this type define the coupling information of wiring harnesses in a vehicle network. The DocumentVersion contains the necessary CouplingSpecifications and the PartUsages for the coupling devices.

SchematicSymbol

Documents of this type represent a graphical symbol (2D), which is normally an external file (e.g. an SVG, PNG). The use case for this document type are symbols that are used in schematic diagrams.

NetworkSymbol

Documents of this type represent a graphical symbol (2D), which is normally an external file (e.g. an SVG, PNG). The use case for this document type are symbols that are used in network / architecture diagrams.

ComponentDrawing

DocumentVersion of this type represent the drawing of a component (Deutsch: Einzelteilezeichnung). Those DocumentVersion are normally used as external reference to the document containing the graphical representation of the component and do not contain Specifications. DocumentVersion describing a component in terms of the VEC (with Specifications) shall have the DocumentType PartMaster.

DeviationTable

Documents that define allowed deviations from specified part numbers.
