      <p class="para_topic">In this final task, you generate a bill of materials from the electrode assembly. The <b class="uiTerm"> BOM </b>function generates reports on the parts listed in the template file, the electrode positions, sparking settings, electrode sizes, and the parameters and attributes that were applied to the assembly components during the design process. The BOM is automatically created from the contents of the assembly in the MSET.

      <p class="para_topic"><b class="uiTerm">Electrode BOM</b> heavily leverages a shared <b class="uiTerm"> NX Tooling</b> BOM facility.
