When you have exploded a baseline, you can display the explosion result in the bottom left-hand screen area. You see the compact storage in the bottom left-hand screen area below the top object, as a separate IBase object.

You have defined compact storage in the explosion profile (see also the Implementation Guide (IMG) for PLM Product Data Distribution, under Configuration Management ® Define Explosion Profile).

When you have exploded a baseline and saved it to compact storage, from the context menu of the IBase object, you can go to the FOX analysis of the corresponding top object by choosing Display explosion result.

In the title bar of FOX analysis, the top object of the explosion result is displayed. You can also see whether the explosion result is in the buffer or in the database.

You have the following display options:

• Overview of the overall result of the explosion of all top objects
• View on the explosion result of a top object

In the FOX analysis, you can navigate forward by double-clicking or by choosing (choose) or (object detail. The double-click triggers a different action according to the display and selected goals.

In the FOX analysis, the system supports navigation forward and backward . For example, when you have navigated through a series of screens, you can then scroll back and forward between these screens.

• When calling the overview
• When setting restrictive filters, such as restricting the view on a top object or displaying object relationships

Starting from the title screen, where you can see statistics on the number of objects per object type, you can double-click to navigate directly to the different displays of the explosion results.

• Top objects :

You see a list of all top objects.

• Statistics :

• Explosion result :

• Select top object :

• All explosions :

• Where-used list :

• Juxtaposition :

You see a list of the superior and subordinate objects for an object.

• Object details :

Under Extras, you can define:

• External format of the explosion result that is predefined
• Internal format of the explosion result

• Validities in hierarchical format of the explosion result

Under filter, you can define:

• All explosions

You can delete a filter on a top object.

• Select top object

• Display object relationships

An object of type characteristic may occur in the explosion result with the object relationships characteristic of class, characteristic in dependency, characteristic in variant table, or characteristic in variant function.

An object of type material may occur in the explosion result as a top object = unspecified relationship, material in a BOM item, or for example follow-up material for a material.

The display of object relationships can be suppressed by using Hide object relationships (default).

In the FOX analysis, you can display the application log at any time by choosing . You can reset the application log of the explosion in the buffer at any time by choosing .

If you want to display the result of the explosion of your baseline:

1. Place the cursor on the compact storage in the bottom left-hand screen area.
2. With the right-hand mouse button, choose the entry Display explosion result from the context menu.
