10.1. Optimization Tips

To ensure that you work efficiently and reliably with SuCri in the long term, we have compiled proven best practices and strategies. These tips will help you increase the performance of your projects and optimize teamwork.

Project Organization

• Divide projects modularly: Split large plants into manageable sub-areas and work with XRefs (External References) to ensure performance and clarity.
• Use naming conventions: Use consistent naming for pipe classes, assemblies, and drawings to facilitate teamwork and minimize search times.

Content & Paths

• Keep content local: Ideally, store pipe classes, templates, and libraries on a fast SSD instead of slow network drives to reduce loading times.
• Path control: After every software update, check whether the content paths are still correctly set in the settings.

Optimize Performance

• Regular cleanup: Regularly run the PURGE and PLANTAUDIT commands in your drawings. Additionally, use the LokalCacheDataPurger to remove data remnants.
• Dynamic properties: Use dynamic properties selectively and only activate them when they are actually needed, as they require additional processing power.
• Pre-configuration: Pre-configure your ortho templates to avoid unnecessary calculations when updating drawings.

License Management

• Control license usage: Use the Pull/Push function consciously. Pull licenses only for active work with SuCri and release them again afterwards.
• Status check: Keep an eye on the expiration date and license status to avoid work interruptions.

Documentation & Output

• Targeted evaluation: Generate bills of materials (BOMs) by assembly rather than for the entire project. This saves time during generation and increases the clarity of the documents.
• Individual templates: Customize your own ortho and BOM templates to maintain consistent documents in your corporate design.

Important Notes for Error Prevention

• Use support: In case of technical uncertainties, you should involve support early on. Use the SuCriSendSupportRequest command to send a direct request to the helpdesk.
