PrimaryPartType

The primary type of the part defines the type of the part (e.g. ConnectorHousing, Fixing, etc.) Since the VEC supports dual use parts (e.g. Fixing & WireProtection) the primary part type is necessary to define which specification associated to part is the primary character of the part. Therefore, all primary part types correspond to a PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification (e.g. ConnectorHousing --> ConnectorHousingSpecification).

The primary part type 'Other' is used if the PartVersion is not further specified by the VEC, which means it has no PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification, only a GeneralTechnicalPartSpecification or a direct instance of PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification.

The PrimaryPartType "Other" is used for parts that are described by a direct instance of PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification. These are parts that do not have a specific classification in the VEC and can be described with a PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification and CustomProperties. The corresponding Role is the SpecificRole.

The PrimaryPartType "PartStructure" has an inconsistency with VEC conventions for historical reasons, which is kept for backwards compatibility. The corresponding PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification is the PartStructureSpecification. However, the corresponding Role is the PartWithSubComponentsRole.
