Using the Property Method Selection Assistant to Choose a
Property Method

The Property Method Selection Assistant helps you to select the most appropriate property method
for modeling your system.

To open the Property Method Selection Assistant wizard:


• On the Tools menu, select Property method selection assistant.

– or –

• Click next to the Property method field on the Properties | Specifications | Global
sheet.

The Property Method Selection Assistant wizard guides you step-by-step by enquiring a series of
questions about the type of process or component involved in your system. Then it suggests one or
more property methods that are most suitable to use with relevant links on each suggested methods.
