Delmia Tutorial-Fastener Assignment

This procedure describes how to assign and view welds in a process welding activity, thereby managing and validating these Weld points well in advance of production.

Procedure:

In this exercise, the DPM Fastener Process Planner workbench will be used to assign the welds.

1.  In the PPR tree, under Station 1, select SpotWelding 1.

2.   In the Fastener Management toolbar, select the Assign fasteners from Product to an Activity command. In the PPR tree Products list, select Assembly Joints under the RH Body Side Assembly.1.

3. The Fastener Assignment dialog box appears.  This displays the total number of welds and what activity the welds are assigned. At this point, no welds are assigned. Notice that there is a pull down window for in the List of Products with Fasteners and for the List of activities. Hold the Ctrl key down and select the Welds 1,3,5. Use the arrow to assign them to the selected activity.

Welds are assigned and no longer available unless Allow Duplicate Weld Assignment is toggled on. (This is in the tools / options / Digital Process for Manufacturing / Commands)  This would be toggled on if a parallel process were also being created.  Welds can also be assigned depending on what parts have been loaded prior to the welding activity selected in the Process.  Apply Part loading Constraints must be toggled on for this to take effect. We will not be using that function.

4. With the Fastener Assignment dialog box still open, select Station 1 >Spot Welding .2 from the List of activities or the PPR tree.
