Optimize a Component

Available for These Components	Notes
All components	This action allows you to manually optimize a component and all unlocked, downstream components. This is specifically helpful if you turn off auto-optimization for a component but decide you want to see the implications of auto-optimization. For example, this function is helpful if you imported an existing node and wanted to find the optimal component when switching out just one component or a small section of the network (perhaps as part of an extension). In this scenario, you can unlock the component, then right-click and Optimize. The application finds the most optimal component given the state of the network. IMPORTANT: This type of edit requires care and attention. Optimize works on all the downstream components that are unlocked. In an existing as-built scenario, that could be undesirable because it would likely result in tap changes that would not normally be done.
