Creating a Wheel or Rim assembly v2


Assemblies are composed primarily of a wheel or rim and a tyre.  However, version 2 has introduced chains, adapter plates and TPMS sensors.  Before starting your assembly build, is necessary that you have created the assets required for the build.  The ‘Create Wheel Assembly’ dialogue box was designed in a way to make creating these assets quick and easy while giving you the ability to move them quickly and easily to the required vehicle.


The 'Create Wheel Assembly' dialogue box is divided into 3 areas:

  1. Site, location, search asset list filter.  The asset list scroll box is dynamic and is determined by part of the assembly you have selected on the hand side of the dialogue.  This makes finding assets easy, just scroll through the available assets and click the button to add it to the assembly. If you have added the incorrect asset, press the button to remove from the selection.

  2. Assembly components.  When you select a component, the dynamic list box will display the desired assets.

  3. Vehicle.  Although not mandatory, you can select a vehicle and corresponding position to move the newly created assembly too.





By default, the assembly number is automatically generated, however it can be edited. We recommend that you do not modify this number.


Once you have added the required assembly assets, the assembly number is automatically generated.  Assemblies are named using a generic naming convention, this allows the user to quickly find and understand what components make up the assembly As you can see from the image below the assembly number is ‘AST-4300-2’.  If you think about the components of that number, you will see three distinct components.

  • AS – Refers to Assembly.
  • TR-007 – Refers to the asset number of the tyre asset.
  • -1 – Refers to how many times the tyre has been a part of an assembly.  In this case, this tyre has been on 1 wheel or rim only.



Wheel assembly objects display information about what vehicle they are assigned to and what components they are made of.  The below images show the different states of an assembly.  One that is in production and one that is spare.
