Behind the scenes we are working hard on making one of the greatest features of HydroSym even richer — namely, the Paro Component Library of over 40,000 hydraulic symbols and components. Over the years, we’ve added thousands of parts that you, our users, use in your schematics. The benefit of the library is the ability to simply click on a component or symbol and add it right into your worksheet.
Anton Halma and Wouter van der Zwan tell us the details.
Paro Component Library
There are over 250 manufacturers as well as generic components and ISO-standard symbols in the library. What’s more, the components have linked, updated data sheets, meaning your project files are complete and up-to-date. This comes in handy when you would like to send your client a complete project file or generate a Bill of Materials. The library is used by our users daily, and we are continuously working behind the scenes to make the library quicker and easier to use.
New search features
Currently, searching by type and manufacturer is working well. But we’re not stopping there — currently, we’re building out a Google-like search experience. This means that the search will be much more intuitive, recognizing which part you are looking for with keywords and descriptions. The vision (and we are close!) is to build out the search engine to have the ability to search by type names, sizes, and even types, descriptions, and abbreviations.
Richer search experience
As an example, searching with abbreviations will work like this: you would like to search for “RDD“, and with our new Paro Component Library search engine, when you type in “RDD“, it will return desired results of not only RDD, but also RDDA, RDDF, QRDD and FRDD.
An example of description search is if you would like to search for a control valve and relevant components, the smart search will give you results for generic parts and also most used ones.
This is another step toward making the user experience of HydroSym more intuitive and the library search smarter. The result? Designing your hydraulic systems quicker and easier, delivering faster to your customers.
Update roll-out soon
Why do we relentlessly go to such lengths? Because we are super passionate about hydraulic design, and we listen to your suggestions. This update is very close to roll-out! We are currently in the process of testing the search in various ways to test if the right results are given.
Request a HydroSym trial
If you’re not yet a customer, and are wondering what all the fuss is about, we’re happy to invite you to test out HydroSym and see for yourself what it can do for you!
