In some cases we see additional components appearing in the Windchill EPM structure as compared to the assembly structure in the Creo assembly. The dependency type of those extra components is "Substitute Member" - they are related to operations with Simplified Reps which were done inside Creo.
There is a documented way to remove them from the Windchill EPM Structure view, by applying a filter, as outlined in https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS184158
However, applying the the filter does not affect the visualization, as seen in the Visualization tab, or if opened in Creo View, you still see the extra components there.
I got a feedback from PTC Tech Support, that a way of getting the structure visualization correct is by viewing through the related WTPart structure - which is true, but I find it hard to believe that you in this scenario simply cannot trust the EPM structure visualization, and have to live with a discrepancy between the filtered EPM structure and the corresponding visualization.
Anyone having experience in this area ?
We are using Creo 7.0.9.0 with Windchill 12.0.2.10
Best regards
