Chapter 9 Generating Other Models from a PDM
You can generate a PDM into a PDM when you need to keep two models synchronized during the design process.
This kind of generation allows you to create a copy of a given model and define generation links between objects in the source PDM and their equivalent in the generated PDM. When changes are made to the source model, they can then be easily propagated to the generated models using the Update Existing Model generation mode.
The generated model is the one that usually contains more information.
If you are working in a multi DBMS environment, you can use the PDM to PDM generation to avoid generating a CDM into different PDM based on different DBMS. You generate a PDM from the CDM, this PDM uses the <logical model> DBMS. Then you can use this PDM to generate different PDM for the different DBMS required as shown in the following figure:
