V4-V5 Mapping

The V4 architecture philosophy is quite different from the V5 Product Structure one. As a consequence, the V4 objects are quite different from the V5 ones. A mapping between V4 and V5 objects can be established.

The electrical behavior is added to the geometry of the converted equipments, connector shells and single insert connectors.

The BSJs become connections between bundles segments.

The supports (SPT) are converted into mechanical parts to which the bundle segments are linked through publications.

The bundle surface (BSF) becomes a protective covering of tape type.

The terminal strip (TS) is not migrated. Only the geometry appears with no electrical behavior.

The external splice (ES) is migrated as a connector of external splice type.

The internal splice (IS) is migrated as a connector of internal splice type.

The geometry of the bundle junction (BSJ) is migrated as is.
