This means the components are<br \/>\nreusable and distributable among Ansys products including ModelCenter\u00ae Desktop, ModelCenter\u00ae<br \/>\nRemote Execution, and ModelCenter\u00ae Cloud. The ModelCenter\u00ae Component Plug-Ins now offer more<br \/>\nstraightforward automation capability that is easier to understand, easier to use, easier to teach, and is<br \/>\nmore user friendly. The new framework is built on the lessons of 20 years of wrapping analyses. The<br \/>\ninterfaces used will look familiar to anyone who has used our tools in the past, but the new framework<br \/>\nseparates the execution of a Plug-In from the UIs that edit it to give flexibility and maintainability. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact: <\/strong>New workflows should use components built in the new unified Component Plug-In<br \/>\nFramework. Existing workflows and legacy plug-ins are still supported; however, users can update<br \/>\nexisting workflows to take advantage of the new Component Plug-In Framework. Legacy Plug-Ins and<br \/>\nwrappers are still supported, and your existing workflows will still run exactly the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>When adding a new component to a workflow, a dialog will be shown allowing users to<br \/>\nspecify any files associated with the analysis. When using QuickWrap select \u201cUse Existing Directory\u201d as<br \/>\nyou may have an existing directory containing files. With Plug-Ins such as CAD, MATLAB, or Excel<br \/>\nComponents select \u201cImport Files Manually\u201d if your analysis files aren\u2019t already organized in a directory.<br \/>\nFor components such as the Script Component where no files may be needed select \u201cNo Files Needed\u201d.<br \/>\nPackaging files with the component makes reusing and distributing components easy.<\/p>\n<p>For more information contact Support at PHX-Support@ansys.com or 800-500-1936 Option 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-160481","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_edit_lock":["1666187840:2"],"_edit_last":["2"],"_bbp_forum_id":["160491"],"_bbp_topic_id":["160481"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.198.14.135"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["0"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["160481"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-10-19 07:55:30"],"_bbp_reply_count":["0"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["0"],"_yoast_wpseo_content_score":["30"],"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":["2"],"_yoast_wpseo_wordproof_timestamp":[""],"_btv_view_count":["1627"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160481\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
