Assigning and removing a supercomponent to or from a component

Components Assigning a supercomponent

Supercomponent

If the icon you click on has been used to create a supercomponent, the submodel list will contain the name of this supercomponent (see following figure). A supercomponent can be assigned to a component exactly the same way as a standard submodel.

Note that if you select a supercomponent in the list, the View button becomes available and you can get a view of its contents by clicking on this button as shown in the following figure.

If you then click on one of the supercomponent constituents, another submodel list dialog box appears.

Figure 445: Set Submodel dialog box

This new submodel list contains only one item which is the submodel assigned to the component in the supercomponent. You are not allowed to remove or replace the submodel associated with the constituent of a supercomponent from this dialog box. If you want to do so, you must edit the supercomponent constituents as explained in the Supercomponent Facility manual.

• To remove the supercomponent, click on the Unset button.

• However, you can simply select another submodel or supercomponent in the list when this is possible.
