Component Models

Component Models provide configuration instructions for functionalities that require multiple objects, references, or other elements to perform a specified operation. For example, to use Matching functionality (as shown below) the component model identifies the object types used for matching, the attributes used to hold justification and source information, as well as other necessary objects.

Exporting component models with STEPXML contains references to the applicable reference types, object types, and attributes objects. Alternatively, exporting the definition of referenced objects is possible with the 'V1' setting on the Export.ComponentModel.Version property. To export definitions, in the STEP application server sharedconfig.properties file, add the case-sensitive property as shown below:

Export.ComponentModel.Version=V1

By default, the value for this property is 'V2' and indicates that actual references are included in the export.

Generally, the available component models are explained within the applicable section of documentation. For information on the component models, refer to the following topics.
