RE: [plcs-dex] Questions regarding Next_assembly_usage

[Peter Bergström <peter.bergstrom@eurostep.com>]

In a breakdown (although for this particular example I should use a physical breakdown, not a functional) you would instantiate different breakdown_elements for the different locations, but I don't think it is the same as to say that it's the left or right wheel in an assembly of a car, or that an electronic component should be place in a specific place (named location) on a circuit board. In the latter we are actually talking about parts in a parts assembly, where we have a requirement for how or where the assembly is done. 

You could do the same with a breakdown structure, but there you are not really talking about designed parts directly - you would have to realize the breakdown elements into parts to achieve the same.

In some cases that is desired, e.g. early design and in-support, but for the detailed design phase it is necessary to be able to talk of the location of a part in context of its upper level part in a parts assembly, as well. At least, that is my understanding...

I assumed a functional breakdowns covered this requirement. Is that wrong?
