Creating New Component

Shows step by step how to create new components.

Before you begin

You would like to create a user-defined component to be able to use it in your project.

Navigate to:

Module Overview ➤ Module ➤ Master Tables (Navigation Area) ➤ Components, U-Value Calculation

Procedure

Open the category in which you would like to create the new component by clicking .
Click + New.

The Which type of component?dialog opens.
Select the component type, enter the Name for the new component and click OK.

The new component is created and the edit view for the component is opened.
Activate the Use Predefined Values option and enter the U-Value for the component.
