We have some templates we use when starting a new project. These should be placed in the specific folders and then used in visual studio to start the project.

For the full guide on finding the templates and preparing them for use in Visual Studio go HERE

Project Configuration

The project name must contain: Experior.Catalog. Otherwise, the project will not be available.

Template review - Icons and Mesh folders

Icons and Mesh folders are used to allocate resources such as images and CAD files.

Supported formats:

  • Image: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .svg
  • Mesh: .x, .dae, .fbx, .obj, .3ds, .ase, .blend, .stl, .lwo, .dxf

Once a resource has been added to the folder (Icon/Mesh), set the property Build Action to Embedded Resource.

Build action

MyCatalog : Experior.Core.Catalog

  1. Catalog class will be instantiated by the Machine Expert Twin during starting process.
    ​
  2. The class is mainly used to add components to the catalog.
    ​
  3. Components will be selectable based on the simulation engine specified.

MyAssembly : Experior.Core.Assemblies.Assembly

  1. Assemblies are model entities that are chosen from a catalog and are dragged onto the working area.

  2. All assemblies derive from the class Experior.Core.Assemblies.Assembly which itself implements the IEntity interface.

  3. The constructor of an Assembly always contains an object deriving from the AssemblyInfo class. This is used to support the mechanism for saving/loading a model.
