DPM Process and Resource Definition
New Functionality
PRD
DPM Process and Resource Definition
- You can now add or delete non-default columns to a Gantt Chart
- Users can add columns to the Gantt chart that contain attributes
that are in the properties of the activity or resource. The attributes
can be user-created attributes, created in Knowledgeware. In addition,
the calculation of the process duration is now calculated using the
scientific calculation time analysis. The parameters used in these
calculations' formulae are available for viewing in the Gantt chart.
- Replace the top node of a product
- You can now replace the top node of a product while keeping track of
the links within the process.
- Search the Gantt charts
- The Gantt chart now offers a search mechanism that is available in
all Gantt charts.

- Validation Pattern for Property Pages
- You can validate inputs for attribute values in the Property page
using Validation Pattern.
- Load Context
- You can load context (Manufacturing, Volumetric, and User) computed
by Context Solver Batch.
- Product/Resource Tree Display Order
- This functionality allows the DPM product/resource tree to be
ordered in the same manner as the DELMIA Process Engineer
product/resource tree.
Enhanced Functionalities
DPM Process and Resource Definition
- Tooltips have been added to control flows in the PERT Chart and
related viewers
- If two activities are linked, the tooltip displays that
information. When a switch activity is linked, the output number also
appears in the tooltip. The tooltips also show precedent constraints.
- Resources selected in the Gantt chart are cross highlighted in the
PPR tree and in the geometry
- Conversely, selecting resources in the tree or geometry cross
highlights in the Gantt chart. If an object is not visible in the PPR
tree because the tree is collapsed, the parent node is highlighted.
- Uneditable cells in the Gantt chart are marked in gray
- This clarifies for the users which cells may be modified and which
cannot.
- Process Verification has a Show Current Activity's Products
- This option enables you to see only those products associated with
the current activity. This option is also available for TSAs in the
Process Verification Across Resources dialog box.
- Process Verification enables you to hide all unassigned resources
- This option is also available in the Process Verification Across
Resources dialog box.
- Process Verification enables you to select which activity you want
to see after a switch activity
- This option is also available in the Process Verification Across
Resources dialog box.
Customizing Settings
DPM Process and Resource Definition
- New display options for the Gantt Chart
- The display options for the Gantt chart have been re-organized. In
determining whether you want to see specified or calculated times, you
can now differentiate between how you want the time displayed for the
parent and leaf node. In addition, you can select your own colors for
specified and calculated times. You also no longer must have your Gantt
chart left-aligned; you can choose to have data centered within a column
or right-aligned.
- Moved options
- The Consider Product Flow option has been moved from the Gantt Chart
tab to the DPM > Manufacturing System Definition > General tab because
that option only applies to the Manufacturing System Definition. For the
user's convenience, the Display Activity Relations options are available
from the context menu on the Gantt chart and are no longer part of the
customizing settings.
- Verification has added Navigation options
- You can choose to retain or ignore the effect of a Hide/Show command
on the visibility of a product or resource during process verification.
Also, you can choose whether to see the first or last child process when
navigating down. This option applies to both the Process Verification
and Process Verification Across Resources commands.

- Server Computed Context Options
- This option controls the load of a pre-computed context.
- Load 3D States and Positions
- This option is enhanced to load all 3D states and positions defined
on upper level parent products and resources.
- PackNGO
- You can specify the pre-defined directory path for storing the pack
and go data set.
- ProductList/ResourceList Display Order
- A new option Manufacturing Hub Order is added to ProductList/ResourceList
Display Order.
