PrimaryPartType
The primary type of the part defines the type of the part (e.g. ConnectorHousing, Fixing, etc.) Since the VEC supports dual use parts (e.g. Fixing & WireProtection) the primary part type is necessary to define which specification associated to part is the primary character of the part. Therefore, all primary part types correspond to a PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification (e.g. ConnectorHousing --> ConnectorHousingSpecification).
The primary part type 'Other' is used if the PartVersion is not further specified by the VEC, which means it has no PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification, only a GeneralTechnicalPartSpecification or a direct instance of PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification.
The Enumeration is defined in Table 90.

BoundingBox
The bounding box is defined for the processed state of the component, as it appears in the finished product. Therefore, it is valid to use the bounding box as simplified geometry of the component for viewing or simple DMU operations. For correct 3D positioning, the bounding might require a transformation in the coordinate system of the component (see LocalGeometrySpecification.BoundingBoxPositioning ). The bounding box defines the smallest cuboid (box) that can contain a described part completely. If a component has multiple variants, the bounding box is the smallest cuboid that can contain every variant, while maintaining the spatial orientation of the bounding box and component variants. It is valid to use the BoundingBox to describe the dimensions of a component, even if not all dimensions are known (e.g. only length and width). However, it must be possible to transform such a partial bounding box into a complete bounding box by adding the missing dimensions.

ContactPoint
A contact point defines the relationship between Terminals, Seals, Plugs, Cavities and Wires. It specifies a single contacting variant. This means that the contacting is manufactured, as specified by the Contact Point. Either all participants (Cavities, Terminals, Seals, Wires) set into a relationship by the ContactPoint exist in a specific harness or none. There is no requirement, to filter the participants of a contacting situation with information derived from VariantConfigurations or assembly / module associations in order to create a manufacturing variant. The ContactPoint represents a single potential. Consequently, all cavities and wires referencing / being referenced by a ContactPoint are short-circuited and have the same potential (even if the signals on the wires are named differently.

|
Identification |
String |
Specifies a unique identification of the WireReceptionReference . The identification is guaranteed to be unique within the TerminalRole (this might be for example a reception number). A WireReceptionReference is an instance of a WireReception . |
False |
|
WireReception |
WireReceptionIdDataType |
References the WireReception that is instanced by this WireReceptionReference. A WireReceptionReference is an instance of a WireReception . |
False |
Material
Allows the definition of material information. Attributes of the type Material normally have the multiplicity [0..*]. This means that such an attribute can have material values for different referenceSystems . It must not have multiple values for the same referenceSystems .
The structure is defined in Table 135.

Key |
String |
The key of the material in the corresponding material reference system. Allows the definition of material information. Attributes of the type Material normally have the multiplicity [0..*]. This means that such an attribute can have material values for different referenceSystems . It must not have multiple values for the same referenceSystems . |
False |
|
ReferenceSystem |
String |
The identification of the material reference system, which is defining possible values and the semantic of material keys. Allows the definition of material information. Attributes of the type Material normally have the multiplicity [0..*]. This means that such an attribute can have material values for different referenceSystems . It must not have multiple values for the same referenceSystems . |
False |
Size
