Many components that are managed in ConnectMaster have similarities: Category, number of connection points, length,...

 

The description of these characteristics can be summarised as follows:

toc_openbookComponent Type

A component type is the description of component characteristics. It defines the appearance, functionality, etc. Each component is allocated to exactly one component type. All characteristics of a component type are inherited to the component of the component type.
toc_openbookDefinitions

The characteristics of a component type can be subdivided into three areas:

•General characteristics of the component type.

•Characteristics that are inherited to the component level and may be changed there.

•Additional category-dependent characteristics. Before structuring and/or entering network data, a few basic points must first be clarified.

 
toc_openbookAttributes to the component type

Besides the fixed characteristics of a component type, the user can define additional characteristics himself – the attributes.

 
toc_openbookCharacteristics of the connection points

Each component type has connection points and connection positions for each connection side. Please also refer to Chapter “Category”.

 

 

toc_openbookGrouping of the connection points

As an additional option, connection points can be grouped in any order.

Characteristics and groupings of the connection points of a component type are also inherited to the components.
