Procedure

1. Type the name of the submodel in Submodel Name.

type the submodel alias in the Submodel Alias field, or,

check the Search instance number box and key the instance number.

Figure 27: Using wild cards

You can replace whole or part of the submodel name or alias with a *. The * allows you to replace the part of the submodel name you do not know or to enlarge the search. You can replace a single character with a ?. Examples:

If you search on SPR*, you will find all the submodels beginning with SPR.

If you search on *01, you will find all the submodels ending with 01.

If you know only the instance number, type it in the Instance Number box and type a * in the Submodel Name field. You will find all the submodels which have this instance number.

4. Click on Find button.
