NOTE The template has been defined in the context of UK_Defence. Refer to the business context for details of related templates.

NOTE An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is provided in the Template overview section.

This template describes how to represent the UK_Defence concept of a zonal breakdown in terms of PLCS model elements (templates, entities, and reference data).

This information object represents the hierarchical structure of spaces (zones) of a product.

It represents a zone / spatial subdivision of a product.

The definition of the zonal breakdown object is: This information object represents the hierarchical structure of spaces (zones) of a product.

The following input parameters are defined for this template:

The following reference parameters are defined for this template:

Allow the Zone_breakdown entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Zone_breakdown entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $zonal_breakdown.zne_bkdn%

where target is the parameter to which the Zone_breakdown is bound.

Allow the Zone_breakdown_version entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Zone_breakdown_version entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $zonal_breakdown.zne_bkdn_vn%

where target is the parameter to which the Zone_breakdown_version is bound.

Allow the Breakdown_of entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Breakdown_of entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $zonal_breakdown.bkdwn_of%

where target is the parameter to which the Breakdown_of is bound.

The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be instantiated by the template.

A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is provided in the Templates Help/Information section.
