Structure of dump files

The dump file consists of three different kinds of text blocks which describe either a pre-defined components (this block is named as Component Template) from COS, instantiations of a pre-defined component or inline component. Each text block is terminated with a '#' character and begins with one of the letters:

• T for component template

• C for component instantiation

• I for inline component

In the picture below there is one instance of a valve component template and several inline components. See 3DD example file of picture below.

In this document the structure of the text block may vary from the actual dump file. For instance the letters T and C are followed by the name of the component at the same row and the comments presented as /*  comment  */ are not included in the actual file.
