Figure 14.5: Steps to create a drivetrain entity
| Step | Operation |
| 1st step | Select on the ribbon menu, as shown in the figure above. |
| 2nd step | Select one of the drivetrain entities, as shown in the figure above. |
| 3rd step | Follow the prescribed creation steps for each entity, as shown in the table below. |
As shown in the table above, a Drivetrain entity can be created through several steps. The creation steps for each entity are shown in the table below. The physical definition of each step can be found in the creation page of each Drivetrain entity.
