Application Data Worlds (APPLDW)

Application Data Worlds and their elements assist applications to store assemblies and model parts for copying and propagation within a design. They have some similarities with Templates, but are more general in content.

They are used for ASL assembly data and also by the Piping discipline.

The Elements available are administrative elements allowing applications to organize data storage areas of design objects that are not part of the design itself, but supplementary objects used to create and maintain the model. They will not be accessed (unless specifically instructed to do so) when performing model queries such as clashing, mass properties, collections and they are similar to catalogue and in particular Template definitions.
