New functions added to GENIUS TOOLS Model Processor are marked with NEW.
AND linkage
Linkage that requires that all Filter conditions must be true for the result of the filter node to be “true.”
Anonymous filter
Enhanced filter that is defined within a task and cannot be used for other tasks.
Batch list (batch file list)
List of files that are processed in batch mode using the selected task list in Creo Parametric. Each file in this list is processed once.
Batch mode
Mode of processing that revises a multitude of files when executing an task list.
Batch rule
Specification for the processing of batch list that determines which models are processed – either by Exclude or Include rules.
Area of a task list containing the tasks to be executed during model revision.
Creo variable
Can be used in the @VAR@ format wherever text input is possible. View the list of all variables here.
Enhanced filter
Filter that specifies the conditions under which a task is executed. Enhanced filters are divided into Anonymous and Stored filters.
Environment variable
Variable %user:var%.Can be used in all text input fields.
Exclude Rule
Batch rule that defines files which are to be excluded from previous results, e.g., all files that do not have the file extension .asm. Since exclude rules are applied on files that have been specified, they cannot be the first rule in a list.
Feature filter NEW
Special type of filter that determines the features to be processed. Can apply to a feature task or can define a feature filter node in an Enhanced filter.
Filter
Specifies the model types and conditions for which an task is executed. There are Model filters and Enhanced filters. Filters are evaluated before a task is executed.
Filter tree NEW
Tree structure in which enhanced filters are defined by creating Filter nodes and operators (AND/OR linkage).
Filter condition
Specifications that must be met for a filter to return “true.”
Filter group
Multiple filter nodes created under a Group node that must be met together (AND linkage) or individually (OR linkage).
Filter node NEW
One or more conditions that define an Enhanced filter. Classified by category in the filter palette.
Foot
Area of a Task list containing the tasks to be executed after model revision, e.g., report tasks.
Global filter
Model filter that applies to all tasks of a Task list. Created in the Body area.
Group mode
Defines how the task in an Task group are executed, e.g., whether a new drawing should be created.
Head
Area of a Task list containing the tasks that are executed before the model revision.
Include Rule
Type of batch rule that specifies that all files matching a specific rule are processed, e.g., all files that start with A.
Model filter
Filter that determines the model type (part, assembly, drawing) to which a task is performed.
MPX file NEW
File format in which a project is saved in the new Model Processor.
MPZ file
File format in which a Model Processor project is saved in Model Processor Classic.
Negated filter
Filter node that returns “true” if the filter condition does not apply. Negated filters are colored purple.
OR linkage
Linkage that requires that at least one Filter condition must be true for the result of the filter node to be “true.”
Project
Compilation of metadata, task lists, filters, and batch rules that are stored in an MPX file.
Regular expressions (RegEx)
Character strings for simplified description of commands that can be used in settings where the RegEx editor symbol
is located to the right of the input mask.
Report
Task from the Report category that creates a report definition and is stored under Resources.
Global definitions that apply across the Head, Body, and Foot sections. Resources are not tasks.
Stored filter
Enhanced filter that can be applied to multiple tasks and is saved in the Enhanced filter menu item.
Task
One or several action(s) that is (are) applied to a model.
Task group
Collection of tasks to which a group mode and group filter can be assigned.
Task lists
Totality of tasks that rework defined models in sequence. Each task list has the sections Head, Body, Foot, and NEW: Resources.
Universal report
Created based on a filter. The content of the universal report depends on if the filter returns true or false.
User variable
Variable %user:var% . Can be used in all text input fields.
XML file
Output format for task lists and filters.
