Solid Edge Solid Edge Physical Properties Mapped to Teamcenter

The customer experiences the following issue:

Unable to map physical properties from Solid Edge to Teamcenter

Any mappings and changes to the physical properties are not translated to Teamcenter.

The physical properties are mapped via the attribute mapping file to Teamcenter, using /master=cad to dictate the source (one direction).

however, the Property fields remain empty.

This issue originated from an attempt to map custom properties from the Material Table to Teamcenter.

Configuration:

In BMIDE it is necessary to add four Custom properties to the Item revision - Type is "String"  (Solid Edge Physical properties are all strings).

Mapping:

Attribute Mapping 

{ Dataset type="SE Part" 

       {Item type = "Item"         

               "Material" : ItemRevision.a3MyMaterial /master=cad /description="Material"         

                "Mass"   : ItemRevision.a3MyMass /master=cad /description="Mass"         

               "Volume" :  ItemRevision.a3MyVolume /master=cad /description="Volume, Physical Properties”         

              "Surface_Area" :ItemRevision.a3MySurfaceArea /master=cad /description="Surface Area" 

        }

}

Note : Expose Surface_Area in the Solid Edge Variables table.

---------------------------

Test case:

- Create a new Solid Edge part. 

- Assign a material. 

- Save and upload to Teamcenter.

Common Properties Dialog (CPD):

Solid Edge File Properties:

The Physical Properties from Solid Edge now appear in Teamcenter:

By default the Unit of Volume is in m3 -> for small values this will result in a NULL value (empty field)

Solution : Change SEEC_Property_Physical_Units to MMKS (millimeter, kilogram, second)

After modifying to MMKS this will be the result in the CPD:
