Defining a bundle

<Bundle> definitions control the features available to Gateway users at the lowest level of granularity. The gateway.config file includes pre-defined bundles, which are used in the standard package definitions.

Each one of these represents a single feature. If you want to enable or disable a feature in one of the pre-defined Packages, you can do this by adding or commenting-out the relevant <Bundle> element within the package definition. See Defining a package.

Each feature bundle that is added to a package contains a selection of options. The following options can be added to bundles.

Options


Value	Description
`CAEModels` CAD and CAE Gateways	In CAE Gateways: Enables users to view and select from the available CAE material models for a material. Note: If this option is not enabled, users will be unable to choose a CAE material model type, and the default exporter will be used (if configured). In CAD Gateways (including Gateway for Teamcenter with NX): Enables users to view and select CAE material models to assign. In both cases, the feature depends on suitable CAE exporters being configured in the Granta MI database.
`Colors` CAD and PLM Gateways	Enables colors (where these are available in the Granta MI database) to be viewed and assigned.
`EnableBoMExportToFile` CAD and PLM Gateways	Enables Gateway users to export a Bill of Materials for an assembly or component (including its material, process, and surface treatment assignments) as a file. You can choose to export the BoM as a .CSV file, or in Granta’s XML BoM format. Exported XML BoM files can be opened in a CAE Gateway, or in MI BoM Analyzer.
`EnableBoMImportFromFile` CAE Gateways that display a list of imported records: Abaqus Ansys Workbench Ansys Electronics Desktop	Enables CAE Gateway users to open a Bill of Materials file in Granta’s XML BoM format and view a list of the materials in the BoM, for import as CAE material models. Note: This feature is not available on Linux platforms, and is not available for ANSA.
`EnableUsageTracking`	When this option is specified, a log of usage data – users viewing datasheets, assigning materials, models, processes or surface treatments, along with date and time, and some information about the user's location (IP address etc) – will be logged to a central location on the MI server.
`ManufacturingProcess` CAD and PLM Gateways	Enables manufacturing processes (where available in the Granta MI database) to be displayed and assigned.
`SurfaceTreatment` CAD and PLM Gateways	Enables surface treatments (where available in the Granta MI database) to be displayed and assigned.
`SimulationRecord` All Gateway host integrations	For Granta MI systems that have been configured to use a hub-and-spoke data model for simulation data. You can enable this feature for any of the host integrations in your Granta MI implementation. When it is enabled: Right-clicking a Material record displays additional menu options View related Simulation Records and View related CAD Materials (as applicable) that allow you to navigate between a CAD Material and its linked Simulation Records. When you transfer a part geometry with CAD material assignments to ANSA, Ansys Workbench, or HyperMesh, clicking Assign default simulation data to all components (in HyperMesh) or Update all material cards with default simulation data (in ANSA or Ansys Workbench) will use the default Simulation Record for each CAD material. (See Default simulation records for CAD-to-CAE transfer.) See Data models for storing simulation data.
`UseDefaultExporter` CAD Gateways, including Gateway for Teamcenter with NX	This option can be used to configure custom material assignment in CAD Gateways. When it is enabled, CAD material assigments will be made using a default exporter, instead of the standard density-only assignment. See CAD material assignment using a default exporter. Note: This option does not affect CAE material model assignment in CAD Gateways, and does not apply to CAE Gateways.
