Generate a DPV workbook from an operation

Dimensional Planning and Validation (DPV) is a quality management solution that you can integrate into your Teamcenter environment. DPV enables the extended enterprise to collect, manage, dimensionally analyze, and report quality-measurement information. It provides rapid access to design and manufacturing information that directly influences your enterprise’s quality targets.

For each operation in a Control Plan, you can generate a DPV workbook. The generated workbook records information from the Inspection Definitions of the operation. For more information, see About DPV Excel engineering workbook.

Note

The administrator can configure which properties are exported in the Acp0DpvWorkbookConfiguration file.

Procedure

1. In the folder where you created the Control Plan, select and open the Control Plan that you want to edit.

2. In the Control Plan, select the operation where you want to generate a DPV workbook.

3. Choose More Commands

Manage > Submit to Workflow.

4. In the Submit to Workflow panel:

From the Template list, ensure that the Create DPV workbook workflow is selected.

Accept the default workflow Name or type your own.

Enter a Description for the new workflow.

Click Submit.

If you are generating a DPV workbook for a Manufacturing operation, the DPV workbook is generated and added to the Attachments tab in the right pane.

If you are generating a DPV workbook for a DPV operation, the DPV workbook is generated and added to the InspectionFeatures section of the Summary tab in the right pane.

To download the DPV workbook, select it and click Download File .

5. If you update an existing Inspection Definition or add a new Inspection Definition to an operation, you can regenerate the DPV workbook by submitting the operation to the Create DPV workbook workflow.

The DPV workbook is regenerated and contains the information from the updated or new Inspection Definition.

6. To create cluster groups for combining multiple clusters from different sources and inspection operations, do the following:

Select the required DPV operation and click the Clusters tab in the right pane.

In the Clusters section, click Add to .

In the Add panel, specify the information required to create a DPV cluster.

Cluster and cluster group help quality analysts to access the features quickly and easily in DPV Reporting & Analysis. The cluster of features and cluster group of clusters that you define from different sources and inspection devices in design data can be accessed in DPV Reporting & Analysis.
