CATIA V6 / 3DX BOM generation from CATProduct

[Korey_with_a_K]

In CATIA V5 in Asssembly Design you could go to Analyze | Bill-of-Material to view and then export a BOM into Excel (or txt file I think).

I cannot figure out how to do this in Catia V6 or the integrated 3DX Catia version 2023.

Can someone provide help?

in 3Dx you can do that by accessing Spreadsheet option in Product Modification tap.

When I use spreadsheet option in Product Modification tab, I get a single line for every component. Instead I want the BOM with part counts of each different part. Instead of a 2000-line spreadsheet listing all the fasteners one by one for each instance, I want CATIA to spit out the quantity of each fastener. So if there's 4 different fasteners but 2000 of them, I want it to say:

PINGY6-5 | 750
PINYR6-6 | 250
PINLM8-12 | 550
PINZA5-9 | 450

Am I missing something in the functionality of the spreadsheet option?

I think it is only possible through Enovia with option Collaborate with EBOM. To be honest I was also annoyed with Spreadsheet so I made my BoM application, you can check how it looks on my YT channel in my signature.

I discovered in 3D Product Architect I can right click and "Open With" the Engineering Release module and it will give me a BOM in a window with proper part counts for each component. But unfortunately, it doesn't tell me what level the components are on. So, I can't tell if something is a sub-assembly or an assembly or which product a part feeds. This works for simple assemblies with no sub-assemblies.

Unfortunately I also didn't find how to do it with some option in 3Dx, so in that case I had develop program to pull that data for me.
