If parts from electronic product catalogs are required for simulation in CAM or “mechatronical” target systems, there are several specific values that have to be added to the models in order to provide the catalog with an already supplier-pre-defined physical and kinematical information.

The advantage is that the parts are “ready for use” directly without researching the often complex specifications from the manual.

As of V11 SP4 conveyor belts and sensors can also be classified accordingly.
