We've provided a few guidelines on how you may want to approach documenting your parts.

You will find that your well documented part will be used in new composite parts, new systems, and new team projects. A well documented part offers a foundation for users to experiment and test your part, and build upon your documentation and characterization work. Users will have a clearer understanding of how your part works, and what to expect when using your part in their project.

The Part Tools menu has various software tools that integrate with the part you're viewing.ĭocumenting and characterizing your part is vital to its continued use by Registry users.

Members belonging to the part's author's group are able to edit these elements.

The Information page has editable elements for the part that classify and organize it within the Registry's database this includes the short description, part type, categories, parameters, etc.

If you intend to use a part, you should check to see if others have had any experience with it. If you've used a part, be sure to share your experience.

This may come in the form of a simple 'this works/doesn't work,' or an in-depth review. The Experience page has information from users about the part.The Design page contains information on how the part was designed (design process) and also includes its sequence and features box by default.It should contain information necessary to use a part: information, measurements, and characterization so that users know what the part is and how it works. The Main Page acts as the hub for a part.
