How to creat a new catalog?

Table 1. How to create a new catalog?


1 Selection of the catalog area of the Motor Catalog application.
2 Click on the button “create a new catalog” (Shortcut Ctrl+C).
Note: The new catalog will be stored in the user’s catalog.
3 Clicking on the button “Create a new catalog” opens a dedicated dialog box.
3a A catalog is defined by a name (New catalog).
Note: A default new name is proposed. One must choose a name that is not already used in Motor Catalog.
3b A comment can be added if needed (it will be the tooltip of the created catalog).
3c Select the family of machines to be considered (Synchronous / Induction / DC).
3d Select the type of machine to be considered.
3e Select the sub-type of machine to be considered.
3f Select the electrical supply network number of phases to be considered (3Phase or nPhase in the current version).
3g Select the folder in which you want to store the new Catalog (D:\CatalogFolder).
3h Set the author of this new catalog.
3i A reminder allows you to keep important notes to know what was considered in the new catalog.
Note: Once created, the catalog corresponds to a folder (“New catalog” in our example) in which data are stored about the motors. The catalog folder is stored in a parent folder (“D:\CatalogFolder” in our example).
Note: The “Motors” are stored in the catalog folder (folder "Motors").

All the data corresponding to a motor, like the associated materials and parts, are stored in a specific folder. There are also the “Attachments” (folder "Attachments") joined to the motor by the user.
