Course Code: CENG-10
Goal: Learn how to create, manage, and apply engineering components and assemblies in CUBE for accurate design, system layout, and documentation integration.

Session Overview

Duration: 1 Hour
Format: Instructor-led (via Microsoft Teams or in-person)
Level: Intermediate to Advanced (Engineering-focused)
Resources Provided:

• Component Overview.
• Creating Components.
• Wiring Page.
• Component BOM.
• Sample Visio and SVG Templates
  

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand how components are structured and used within CUBE.
• Create and configure new components with BOM, labor, and metadata.
• Link components to Visio stencils and SVG symbols for visual documentation.
• Configure wiring diagram pages and I/O documentation.
• Apply best practices for using components in panels, kits, and complex system assemblies
  

Session Agenda

10.1 Component Structure and Use Cases

• Introduction to components and their role in the CUBE engineering workflow.

• How components support modular design, system repeatability, and documentation.

• Typical use cases: control panels, terminal strips, field devices, and assembly groups.

• Differentiating components from parts, kits, and systems.

10.2 Creating a New Component

• Step-by-step walkthrough of the Creating Components process.

• Defining core fields: Name, Description, Classifications, Tags.

• Adding materials and labor to component BOM.

• Assigning utility items or placeholders.

• Saving components for reuse across multiple projects
  

10.3 Visio Stencil Linking

• Overview of how components can be linked to Visio stencils for schematic representation.

• Using symbol libraries and standard stencils.

• Best practices for aligning engineering documentation with estimating components.

• Exporting or sharing Visio diagrams with panel builders or controls teams
  

10.4 SVG & Wiring Diagram Pages

• Navigating the Wiring Page for components.

• Assigning I/O points and terminal information.

• Adding SVG symbols to create visual device connections.

• Using wiring pages for handoff to installation and commissioning teams.

• Tracking signal paths and voltage groups visually
  

10.5 Best Practices: Panels, Kits, and BOM Management

• Using components to build out panel assemblies.

• Grouping components into kits for rapid reuse.

• Managing component BOMs for clarity and maintainability.

• Ensuring labor and materials are aligned with field execution.

• Version control and internal documentation standards
  

Hands-On Exercises

Participants will:

• Create a new component from scratch using a provided template.
• Add materials, labor, and metadata to the component BOM.
• Link the component to a Visio stencil and an SVG diagram.
• Populate a wiring diagram page with sample connections.
• Create a simple panel using multiple linked components
  

Post-Session Action Items

To reinforce learning, participants are encouraged to:

• Review existing components and update metadata or documentation links.
• Develop standard components for common panel builds or field devices.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to validate wiring page outputs.
• Save and share new components as part of internal best practice libraries.
• Explore integration between engineering documentation and estimating BOMs
