Mechanically welded decomposition and quantity

Out of category

Hello

I am dealing with a problem that is currently insoluble, which I have recreated by pruning all the superfluous to submit it to you.

I have two pieces in one assembly, parts Y and Z. To locate bodies, we use a custom property "id".
- Y has two bodies: id Y1 and Y2, respectively designated "SLIDE" and "RING".
- Z has a body, id Z1 also designated "RING" (important).

I create an MEP of this assembly, with the aim of having a list of the bodies, with their respective ids and designations.
To do this, I break down the two mechanically welded parts into a nomenclature.

Problem:  by decomposing Z and then Y, the nomenclature gets me two lines:
- Y1 quantity 2
- Y1 quantity 1

However, I would like to obtain, logically:
- Y1 quantity 1
- Y2 quantity 2
Which is indeed the case when I decompose Y and then Z, strangely!

It's as if Y2 by decomposing, both combines with Z1, but also changes the ID and designation! As if he could no longer find his young in decomposing.

I'm attaching a pack&go of this drawing, hoping you can find a solution to this intriguing problem.

Thank you in advance,

I will take the liberty of bringing the subject up again, if possible. I have not been able to solve the problem.

Thank you

I think that the "Designation" property serves as a key for SW to decide whether or not to combine several "identical" bodies from different parts.

I tried renaming the ring from Z to "ring z" and the array worked fine.
I've tried to change the other properties you've created, but it's not enough. Maybe by using other "standard" properties of SW (long, ang) it will be able to cause differentiation.

Thank you for your answer and the time taken to test a solution.

It's true that we could want three different lines.

I would like the bodies with the same designation to be well combined, so as not to have several lines with the same body in the nomenclature (for procurement, in particular).

However, the "Designation" property is not necessarily a key, since in the case of a decomposition of Z and then Y, it combines the two "Ring", then renames them "Slide". This gives me a nomenclature with 3 slides, while I would like 2 rings and a slide.
