| Class Type

Three class types are available:
-
Domain Class: The default type, this
class can be instantiated in
OpenPlant products. All components and logical objects
defining "Work breakdown structure" are generally domain classes.
-
Abstract Class: The class type is
generally used to define an un-instantiable or a generic class. For example,
piping component is an abstract class defining a generic class. Such classes
are used to group together similar classes.
-
Structure: Once the class is set to
structure it can be used as a property for a class. For example Point3D is a
class with X, Y and Z properties, and is marked as structure.
