Check the component consistency

Create a new model and check the following of each component:

• Import of the custom component displays no warnings in the log file

• Correct input points are used
• Embed is correctly created in the model
• Component name has the prefix “EB_”
• Thumbnail shows correct embed and input points
• Keywords are correct (if used)
• Information in the component dialog is correct (translations) and useful
• All objects belong to the assembly
• Possible welds are workshop
• If the embed is parametric – does it work?

Open the component in the Custom Component Editor and check the following:

• Geometry is as simple as possible
• Rebars and studs used instead of round bars
• Bolt-objects used for holes
• Steel profiles
  • parametric (not library profiles)
  • material “Undefined”
  • class 100 or 101
• User-defined attributes (only main part):
  • Product weight defined
  • Product unit defined if something else than ´piece´
• Rebars
  • Numbering prefix: “EB_Product name”
  • Name: component name
  • grade “Undefined”
  • class 100

Check also:

• Bolts and studs are workshop
• Correct positioning settings are used
• Required parameters are available, translatable and linked to the correct attributes
  • P1a - Name
  • P2a - Product description
  • P3a - Product code
  • P4a - Start number
  • P5a – Finish
  • P6a – Numbering prefix (part- or assembly prefix)
  • P7a - Product unit (if component is parametric)
  • P8a - Product weight (if component is parametric)
