Process and system for rendering an object in a view using a product lifecycle management database

摘要

The invention proposes a process for rendering an object view using a PLM database. The database comprises modeled objects and relations between said modeled objects. Said modeled objects are associated to a set of values of attributes, whose values are stored in the database or computable based on relations involving said modeled objects. The process comprises displaying to the user a view of a set of modeled objects; receiving a selection by a user of an attribute; querying the database for a modeled object to be rendered; providing a value of the selected attribute, associated to said modeled object; and rendering said modeled object in the view according to the provided value of the attribute. It is also possible for the user to select a value of an attribute and the rendering will be carried out only on the object, whose value(s) matches with the selected value.

1. A computer-implemented process for rerendering an object view using a product lifecycle management database storing contextual and dynamic attributes and a computer system, the database containing three-dimensional modeled objects and relations between said three-dimensional modeled objects, wherein said three-dimensional modeled objects are associated to a set of values of attributes, the values of the set of values being stored in the database or computable based on relations involving said modeled objects, the process comprising:
displaying to the user a three-dimensional view of a set of three-dimensional modeled objects, including at least one modeled object to be rerendered; receiving a selection by a user of an attribute; querying the database for at least one of the displayed three-dimensional modeled objects to be rerendered; providing a value of the selected attribute as a result of the query of the database storing contextual and dynamic attributes associated to said at least one displayed three-dimensional modeled object; and rerendering said at least one of the displayed three-dimensional modeled objects in the view according to the provided value of the attribute; wherein the step of rerendering comprises displaying a representation of a maturity level of said three-dimensional modeled object to be rerendered, wherein said maturity level consists of percentage or scale of completion of said three-dimensional modeled object, with at least one criteria of said maturity level selected from a group consisting of: specification of said three-dimensional modeled object, design alternatives of said three-dimensional modeled object, first to third level of acceptation of said three-dimensional modeled object, and production validation of said three-dimensional modeled object, wherein said displayed representation of the maturity level being updated by the user in a semi or full automatic way, and wherein said steps are implemented with said computer system.
