Importing Manufacturer Datasets

Shows step-by-step how to import manufacturer datasets for selecting further radiators or cooling convectors.

Navigate to:

Module overview ➤ Radiator/Cooling convector ➤ Project level ➤ Radiators/Cooling convectors ➤ Data set import

Procedure

  1. In the Source file section click the button.

    The Open dialog appears.

  2. Select in the lower-right section of the dialog whether you would like to import a BDH 2 dataset (hk.dat or *.bdh) or a VDI 3805 file (*.vdi).
  3. Navigate to the desired dataset and click Open.

    The dialog shows the dataset with the date of creation and an informatory note in the Source file section.

  4. Enter a unique abbreviation of maximum four characters and the manufacturer name for the selected dataset.
  5. Click Import dataset.
    Note:

    If the manufacturer code you entered has been used already, a corresponding message appears. In this case, enter a different code and repeat the process.

  6. Save your project and restart LINEAR Building, so that the newly imported dataset can be used for the design process.

Results

LINEAR Building Shows the newly imported dataset in the Available datasets section. The dataset is also available in the Radiator preselection dialog.

Note:

Alternatively, use the LINEAR Installation Center to download new manufacturer datasets.
