When using the IEC TR 62380 or RDF 2000 model, all parts within the system must use this calculation model. You cannot override this model for individual parts within the system. The part categories and subcategories that are used for these models are those defined in the IEC TR 62380 and RDF 2000 standards.

The IEC TR 62380 and RDF 2000 standards support component models for lots of different part subtypes. When a part requires a subtype selection, the parameters that do not apply to the subtype are removed from the Prediction Data pane and all of the subsequent parameters are shifted up. For more information, see Prediction Data Pane. For importing and exporting, or in any other situation where a part subtype is not available, all possible parameters are shown.

The following topics describe the part parameters required by the IEC TR 62380 and RDF 2000 models:
