Why is the access key important in CADe SIMU?

The access key is necessary for simulating your projects, saving them, and printing your designs. Without the access key, you will not be able to perform simulations or save or print your project.

What are the main components of the CADe SIMU interface?

The CADe SIMU interface consists of three toolbars: a top toolbar for file management and configuration, a left vertical toolbar with drawing and editing tools, and a right vertical toolbar for changing background settings and visual elements.

What options are available for configuring the project sheet in CADe SIMU?

You can configure the project sheet in CADe SIMU by choosing between various formats such as A4 or A3 sizes, and selecting vertical or horizontal orientations. You can also customize grid options and remove unnecessary labels or boxes from the sheet.

How can I zoom in and out on the project sheet in CADe SIMU?

To zoom in or out, use the Zoom + and Zoom - icons in the top toolbar. You can also use the 'Window Zoom' and 'Total Zoom' options for adjusting the size of the project sheet to get an overview of your design.

What is the library in CADe SIMU, and what components are available?

The library in CADe SIMU contains a wide range of electrical components such as conductors (phase, neutral, earth), motors, transformers, rectifiers, fuses, disconnectors, switches, sensors, and more. These components can be dragged and dropped into your design for further customization.

Can I customize the components in CADe SIMU?

Yes, you can customize components in CADe SIMU by rotating them, flipping them horizontally or vertically, and adjusting their positioning. You can also edit text labels to name and identify different parts of your project.

What are the main drawing tools available in CADe SIMU?

The drawing tools available in CADe SIMU's left toolbar include line, rectangle, circle, and ellipse tools. You can also use the text tool to rename components, fill areas with colors, and edit existing elements in the project.

What is the purpose of the four disabled functions in CADe SIMU, and when are they enabled?

The four disabled functions in CADe SIMU, including simulation, pause, stop, and step-by-step mode, are only enabled once you select a component from the library and place it in your project. These functions allow you to simulate and control the flow of your design.
