In modeling mode can you bring in a repeat region for a BOM to be populated? We are doing no drawings so I need to do this in the assembly models.

It doesn't seem familiar - where do you expect the repeat region to appear if it's not part of a drawing?

Robert,

repeat region can be created in a drawing, only. In Assembly mode, you can save Bill of materials into text file and put the contents of this file into annotation element.Unfortunatelly this annotation element is not updated dynamically, when assembly changes.

This does seem like a gap in the whole "MBD" push.  If this information isn't on a drawing, and it can't be put in the model, how is it supposed to be conveyed?

In the MBD World, it needs to be conveyed in a separate parts list that can be generated from Windchill. Take a step back and think about your BOM balloons on a drawing, if you have 2 or more of the same part, the balloons really don't tell you much. Why do you need to see the parts pointed out on a view when the BOM is used by a different department to order the parts, they don't count the parts in the assembly view to make sure it matches the BOM quantity.

On drawing BOM is just something that has been done for decades and now it is time to change. There are lots of major companies that have gone drawing less.

The MBOM is what you need to convey in the Assembly Instructions (AI).
