Find matching CUBOs for selected Functional block

 

In the Select CUBO™ window, the platform lists CUBOs that best match your project, considering:

• Functions and their associated specifications

• Ports connected to Functional Blocks

• Port Specifications

The CUBOs are prioritized based on Preferred Parts and Preferred Manufacturers set in Project Settings.

 

Locking a Selected CUBO™

To set a CUBO™ as the default solution for your Functional Block

1. Select the CUBO™ by clicking Checkbox

2. A notification window appears.

3. Select Lock to confirm the selection.

Important: Without locking, the CUBO™ will not be set as the final solution. Locking the CUBO™ ensures that the same CUBO™ is used throughout the project, similar to how Featured Projects are structured.
