Methods and systems for filtering components in hierarchically-referenced data

摘要

A computer-implemented method for filtering components from a logical component hierarchy is provided. The method uses a computing device having a processor and a memory. The method includes identifying, in the memory, a filter associated with the logical component hierarchy. The method also includes comparing, by the processor, a sub-component of the logical component hierarchy with the filter. The method further includes identifying the sub-component for filtration based on the comparison of the sub-component with the filter. The method also includes filtering the sub-component from the logical component hierarchy.

1. A computer-implemented method for filtering components from a logical component hierarchy, said method using a computing device having a processor and a memory, said method comprising:
storing, in the memory, the logical component hierarchy including a plurality of components and sub-components representative of a system to be assembled, wherein the logical component hierarchy includes a plurality of ancestor-descendant relationships between the plurality of components and sub-components; identifying, in the memory, an exclusion filter associated with the logical component hierarchy, wherein the exclusion filter includes at least one of an ancestor and a descendant of the a sub-component to be removed; comparing, by the processor, a sub-component of the logical component hierarchy and at least one of an ancestor and a descendant of the sub-component with the exclusion filter; identifying the sub-component for exfiltration based on the comparison of the sub-component and at least one of an ancestor and a descendant of the sub-component with the exclusion filter; filtering the sub-component out of the logical component hierarchy; and displaying at least part of the filtered logical component hierarchy.
