      Efficiently Merge Versions of Components in SCALE.sdm

      In product development, multiple variants of the same component often arise – whether due to different development branches, design optimizations, or adaptations for various markets. To systematically track these changes and merge them efficiently, SCALE.sdm offers a workflow that compares and consolidates components at the sub-part level, supported by pre-processing tools such as ANSA. 

      Highlight Differences, Merge Versions Selectively

      The workflow allows you to directly compare two versions of a component. Differences are automatically detected with the help of ANSA or similar tools – both in the geometry of individual sub-parts and in the structure of complex assemblies. 

      Users can then selectively decide which elements from which version should be incorporated into the resulting model. This creates a consolidated model that combines both variants without requiring manual reconstruction. 

      Seamless Integration into SCALE.sdm

      After the merge, the new component model can be directly traced back in SCALE.sdm. There, it is versioned and can be reused and integrated into downstream processes.

      This integration maintains data consistency, making the entire workflow from comparison to merging transparent and efficient. 

      Main Advantages at a Glance

      The goal is a structured, controlled merge process that combines transparency, efficiency, and data integrity. 

      • Transparency: Differences between component statuses are detected automatically 
      • Control: Selective merging at the sub-part level 
      • Efficiency: No manual reconstruction, consistent resulting statuses 
      • Integration: Direct feedback into SCALE.sdm for variant management 
      • Traceability: The merged variant can be clearly linked back to its original versions 

      With the integration of SCALE.sdm and pre-processing tools like ANSA, teams can quickly, precisely, and transparently merge complex components – a step towards a more modern, integrated development workflow.
