Product structure "spider web"

Hello,

 

Is it possible to create a visual overview from Productstructures? 

For example I have a Product A which is made out of 5 Material and one material out of the 5 is used in Product B.

If you don't know that you have to open every component and go to where used and see it there. 

In my mind there should be something like a visual thing, which you can open and you can basically follow the structures whereever you want. In my simple example it is probably fast, but if the product structures are bigger, it gets more complex. 

Up to Windchill 11.1.something there was something like this (don't remember the name), which had kinda the idea of this, but was really slow and very unintuitive.

 

Is there something out there where you could create something like this? Going even further this would be so fantastic to have to go through the whole productstructure and go down and up from one component and not switching between different parts.

 

Best regards

I think what you are referring to PSE, an applet structure browser that is long since gone. There was a UI that allowed you to create a structure graph of related parts and docs. My suggestion for you is to extract the data into excel and use Visio to construct a diagram. Org chart has ability to import data from excel to create relationships.
