Create a Custom Component for Re-Use
The objective of
the re-use workflow is to be able to create libraries of re-usable custom
components for later use in a given design file.
OpenPlant Modeler
uses the workflow of defining re-usable components in a cell
library and stored in models representing cells.
- Create a new file in OpenPlant Modeler as *.cel, representing the cell library.
- Select the Models option from the File menu.
- Click the Create New Model button and name the new model in the ensuing dialog.
- Click OK to open the new model.
- In the drawing create the geometrical graphics to be used for the new component and use the Create Custom Component workflow below to create the new component.
- You can repeat this process to create multiple component models in the cell library. These components can then be placed in a Piping model using the Place Component from Cell option.
