Step 1 - Load

Load the beam line or its sub components into your OSD session

Step 2 - Copy

Copy the entire assembly – this will insure that new system identifiers are issued for each of the components

Step 3 – Delete Original Model

To prevent confusion delete the original model from your session.

Note: Never again use the model that is stored on your U: drive always use the model checked into WorkManager.

Step 4 – Confirm Nomenclature

Check to make sure that all of the assembly and part names conform to the ALS nomenclature scheme.

Review the following 3 slides for a review of the ALS naming convention.

Model Naming Conventions

6 Rules:1) All SolidDesigner part and assembly names are CAPITALIZED ex: BUILDING_ASSY

VVR1_ASSY

2) Spaces between words are underscored ex: EXPERIMENTAL_FLOOR_ASSY

VVR3_VALVE_STAND_ASSY

3) Hyphens are used between port numbers ex: 3-2-1_BRANCHLINE_FRONT_END_ASSY 3-2-2_HUTCH_ASSY 3-2-1_ENDSTATION_ASSY

Model Naming Conventions6 Rules continued:

4) Each sector will have the following basic structure: ex: SECTOR_x_TOP_ASSY BUILDING_ASSY FRONT_END_ENVIRONMENT_ASSY

EXPERIMENTAL_FLOOR_ASSY SECTOR_x_WALL_ASSY PORT_x-x_ASSY(S)

5) Beamline level assembly names start with a number (sector-port-branchline(s)) ex: 3-2-1_BRANCHLINE_FRONT_END_ASSY 3-2-2_HUTCH_ASSY 3-2-1_ENDSTATION_ASSY

6) Components below beamline level assemblies do NOT include the sector-port-branchline number. ex: PSS_ASSY VVR2_FAST_VALVE_ASSY

Number is not included so that assemblies can be copied/shared to other beam lines and do not have to be renamed.

Model Naming Convention Summary

Note: Sector 3 used as an example.

1) All Caps

2) Under scores between words

3) Hyphens between numbers

4) Sector assembly basic structure

5) Beam Line assy start with numbers; sector-port-branchline

6) Beam Line sub-assys named with descriptive names. These non beam line specific assemblies can be re-used on different beam lines with out re-naming.
