Placement

of Normal Devices in Slots

There are various methods of placing normal devices in slots, either manual or automatic.

Manually place one normal device at a time. See Manually Placing a Normal or Ground Device in a Slot.
Automatically place one normal device at a time. See Automatically Placing a Normal Device in a Slot.
Have the system place all available unplaced normal devices from a particular logical design simultaneously. See Automatically Placing all Unplaced Normal Devices from a Particular Logical Design.
Have the system place all available unplaced normal devices for all associated logical designs simultaneously. See Automatically Placing all Unplaced Normal Devices.

If you place all devices simultaneously or automatically place a single device, the system uses the rules and constraints that you have defined to select the slots in which it places the devices.

Note

You can place a device automatically or manually in multiple slots if each instance is mutually-exclusive. For example, a battery may be placed in a particular slot in one vehicle configuration but be placed in a different slot in another vehicle configuration. You can also place a device in one slot multiple times using option expressions. This enables the device to have a different footprint depending on the configuration. See Variant Placement of a Device for examples.
