3) CUBO™ Overview

When you select a Functional Block, the system displays a list of CUBOs that match the Functionality and Specification requirements you set in the Design Canvas. Clicking on a CUBO™ gives you an overview, including your Preferences and Requirements, the Specifications linked to that CUBO™, and its associated Schematic.

 

CUBO™ Overview: Shows CUBOs,associated Specifications and Schematics 

In the CUBO Results page, the platform displays a list of CUBOs that best fit your project based on:

• The functionality and their related specifications

• The Interfaces connected to the Functional Blocks

• The specifications of the Interfaces

 

4) Select a CUBO™

Selecting a CUBO™ means choosing an initial solution from the list of options that fit your functional block’s requirements. This step allows you to review and pick the best match for your project from the suggested CUBOs. Your selection is not final—you can change it later if you find a better fit or if your project requirements change. The selection remains flexible and can be updated as your project evolves. If you resolve or update the project, the selection might change based on change in constraints.

5) Lock Selection

Locking a CUBO™ makes your choice permanent, even if you update or resolve the project. If the CUBO™’s requirements—such as Functionality or Specifications—or the interfaces to its Functional Block change, and the locked CUBO™ no longer meets the constraints, resolving the project will result in an error.

If you encounter an error, you must either unlock the CUBO™ or adjust your requirements to resolve the project successfully. You can unlock the CUBO™ from the CUBO Results page or directly in the Design Canvas by clicking on Locked button (see images below).
