Features in GRT

Features

Features are used to describe the characteristics of families. The family 'Cars' can have, for example, the features engine and colour.

Each feature has an 8-position classification code used to store its values. These eight positions can be subdivided again by means of aspects. A maximum of eight aspects can be assigned to a feature. For example, the aspects of the feature engine can be:

• Number of cylinders
• Number of valves per cylinder
• Cylinder capacity

You can link a maximum of 99 features to a family.

Use the Features (tigrt0101m000) session to define the features. Together with the feature, an aspect is created (code length 8). Use the Aspects by Feature (tigrt0104m000) session to change the length of an aspect, and to define additional aspects for a feature.

Use the Features by Family (tigrt0102m000) session to link features to a family.
