Documentation

Definition

This indicator determines that view nodes in the iPPE model are exploded to determine the objects for extraction.

Use

The data extracted from the iPPE model can, for example, be converted to a material BOM.

Dependencies

View nodes have no item variants, so they have no component assignments, either.
Only the following objects can be assigned to view nodes:

• Other view nodes
• Structure nodes

Example

For a product structure, you have modeled a multilevel view structure. A structure node with several item variants has been assigned to the view node on the lowest explosion level.
If you want these item variants to be included in the extraction, set this indicator.
