Charts

WA enables faster and more accurate decision-making with on-demand access to a protocol of standard and regular charts targeted for different recipients:

The following types of charts are available:
  1. CoG
  2. Mass Maturity
  3. Mass by Zone
  4. Cost Maturity
Using the standard reporting functionalities provided by WA, you can:
  • Use the CoG chart to:
    • Identify the exact location of each system and subsystem of your company’s functional breakdown.
    • Highlight wrongly positioned items outside the product area.
    • Highlight zero-count CoG parts which come from designers’ PLM tools.
    • Highlight which parts/assemblies don’t contribute to MoI calculations. For example, symmetrical parts wrongly positioned on the axis.
  • Use the Mass Maturity chart to:
    • Visualize the maturity distribution of the selected parts or a complete BoM.
    • Monitor how the product/assembly maturity evolves over time.
  • Use the Mass by Zone chart to:
    • Display the mass distribution along x,y and z axis.
    • Identify systems and subsystems which contribute more in each zone.
  • Use the Cost Maturity chart to:
    • Visualize the cost distribution of the selected parts or a complete BoM.
    • Monitor how the product/assembly maturity evolves over time.
Note:
  • You can view the Charts section only when you have created a product with at least one Concept or Snapshot in the Work in Progress or in the Approved status.
  • The Charts page is displayed based on the Functional views selected for a specific Product under the Main Attributes tab of the Program.
Note: The Charts page is empty if you have not selected a Product. If you are working on a Product, that Product is selected by default in the Charts page and is maintained throughout different sessions.

The Charts page allows you to:

  • View the Center of Gravity, Lateral View, Front View, Top View, and 3D View of the selected Part or Product.
  • View the Detailed and Grouped views.
  • View the mass of the selected part or Product in Lateral view, Front view, and Top view.
  • Reload the Product tree in the navigation bar
  • Search for a part in the selected Product.
