After activating the creation mode, you can use the schematic selection tools as usual. Once one or more blocks are selected you can specify their type of representation by selecting either one of the following options from the Simulation Project ribbon or the context menu:
Type |
Description |
Consider for 3d model / schematic |
The selected block will be considered as 3d model for the newly created simulation project if possible. If the corresponding block does not have a 3d representation, then the block will be considered as schematic element for the newly created simulation project. |
Consider on schematic only |
The selected block will be considered as schematic element for the newly created simulation project. |
Ignore selected blocks |
The selected block will not be considered for the newly created simulation projects |
Colored frame around the block |
Description |
None |
This block will not be considered for the simulation project creation. |
Orange frame (with shadow) |
This block will be considered as 3d element for the simulation project creation. |
Light blue frame |
This block will be considered as schematic element for the simulation project creation. |
The simulation project definition mode can be aborted without creating a new simulation project by selecting Simulation Project: Close Simulation Project Mode.
Once all block representations are specified properly, you can proceed with the next step of the simulation project creation by selecting Simulation Project: Create Simulation Project. This operation will open a Create New Simulation Project dialog box which allows you to specify global project settings such as project name, project type,solver type, etc. Once the simulation project creation is completed, the newly created project will be represented by a corresponding simulation task entry in the navigation tree. The selected solver type will be launched whenever this simulation task is updated.
The corresponding project can easily be opened by selecting Navigation tree: Tasks <Simulation Project Task Name> Edit... . In the same way, the simulation project can be renamed (Rename) or deleted (Delete). Please note that deleting a simulation project task does also delete the corresponding project and that this operation can not be undone.
