LARGE Bill of Material

[Bacvar]

Hi All,

I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on extracting LARGE bill of materials from Catia. I have a large assembly (with numerous sub-assy's) with approx. 700 parts. I'm trying to produce a B.O.M. from Catia using the Analyze B.O.M. Even if I load the product without the actual 3D models/geometry, it still takes hours for Catia to crunch out the B.O.M.
Does anyone have a solution for a quicker way to extract a B.O.M. on such large assy's???

I'm using Catia V5R16

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Bacvar

I think you might need to look at your settings, I’m generating a BOM with 1183 parts in 37 sub-assy’s and it takes under 30 seconds.

BTW I'm on V5R16.

Yea, I also think you need to check out your settings, BOM generation should be pretty fast.

Ok, I’ll go through my settings. Any particular setting I should be looking for?

Thanks all

A shot in the dark, but when you go to Analyze>BOM>Listing Report Tab>Displayed Properties Window, do you have a lot of properties assigned to display in the BoM? Maybe that would slow it down with such a large assembly?
