IDENTICAL BODIES

Hello

In an assembly including mechanically welded parts (with several bodies) I want to recover all the identical bodies. Is there a simple way?

Hello

What exactly do you mean by "recover"?

In fact, it is making a nomenclature of assembly at the level of bodies only to identify all identical bodies with their quantity.

Normally in standard BOMs, SW handles it natively. Simply select from the tabbed list options and check "Detailed list of welded parts". It will calculate the quantity for identical bodies/parts.

Except that it seems to me that SW will not group identical bodies from different sources.

A hack would consist of registering the asm as a prt and converting this prt into mechanically welded, SW is then able to recognize the bodies having the same topology and therefore to output a list. On the other hand, if there are welded construction profiles, the information on the profile is lost.

Indeed it groups by prt (which seems a bit logical to me). To be seen according to the exact need.
