Manipulating your Network

You can perform a translation of your network and move its position in the 3D area. The Network Manipulation Assistant allows you to reconnect the branches after your manipulations.

Note: The network can only be translated, and not rotated.

  1. In the work area, select one of the following:
    • A product. The branches from every electrical branch geometry within the product are selected.
    • An electrical branch geometry. All the branches within the electrical branch geometry are selected.
    • A branch.
    The Robot is snapped to the network. In the 3D area, your selection is highlighted and an icon is displayed on broken connections: .
  2. Define if the supports belonging to your selection are moved during the translation:

    By default, all supports are fixed.

    OptionDescription
    Fix individual support The selected support is not translated.
    Free individual support The selected support is translated.
    Free all supports All supports within your selection are translated.
    Fix all supports No supports within your selection are translated.
  3. Optional: Modify the orientation of the Robot.
  4. Move the Robot along one of its axis to position the network.
  5. To validate your manipulations, click Execute on the context toolbar or press Enter.
    The Impact Analysis Tool panel appears and indicates in a table the disconnections resulting from your manipulations.
  6. To manage the disconnections, do one of the following:
    • To reconnect a single branch, click in the branch's row.
    • To reconnect all the branches, click in the table's header.
    A preview of the extended branches is displayed.
  7. Click Apply.

The shape of your network is updated.
