2 Cylinder Engine (typical or "shattered" JT file)
The 2 Cylinder Engine consists of an assembly JT file with product structure but references the individual part JTs from a single sub directory. This is referred to as a "shattered" JT file and is the default type. The product structure of a JT file enables multiple JT assemblies to reference the same component files. As these files are modified and updated, the assemblies will be updated as well. One of the ways to represent these assemblies is with PLM XML.
PLM XML is a powerful interoperability format for distributing PLM data. One of its flexibilities is to define sub-assemblies of JT files that may be unique relative to the product structure. The 2_Cylinder_Engine_Example folder contains 2 examples of this (2_Cylinder_Engine1_Internals.plmxml and 2_Cylinder_Engine2_Externals.plmxml). Some of the other capabilities are shown in the 2_Cylinder_Engine3_Exploded.plmxml file. This example includes exploded transformations and transparency that have been added to the assembly from the PLM XML file.
PLM XML is an open, published, and free set of XML schemas that is used for interoperability between PLM systems. Learn more about PLM XML.
