Define Pipe Sections

Shows step-by-step how to configure the data of pipe sections.

Before you begin

You would like to set the pipe section data of your scheme for a pipe network calculation

Requirements:

Navigate to:

Module Overview ➤ Scheme Heating/Potable Water/Waste Water/Gas

Applies to Heating, Potable water, Waste water and Gas.

Procedure

In the scheme, click on the pipe section you would like to edit.
The Pipe run data dialog opens.
In the Section area, specify the Length of the pipe section and the number of Additional bends.
Optional: In the Pipe material section, assign a pipe material to the section that differs from the project setting by deactivating the checkbox from Project setting, clicking the now activated Material... button and selecting the desired material in the Pipe tables dialog.

Note: If you would like to use pipe materials of a specific installed and, if applicable, licensed manufacturer data set, you have to select the desired manufacturer in the Manufacturer Selection dialog beforehand, so that the manufacturer is available in the Pipe Tables (Module Overview ➤ Scheme Heating/Potable Water/Waste Water/Gas ➤ Project Level (Building Structure) ➤ Settings ➤ Manufacturer Selection...).
Optional: In the Nominal pipe diameter section, set the nominal diameters for the pipes in the pipe section.
Use the and buttons to switch to the adjacent pipe sections and set their data.
The currently selected pipe section is shown dashed in the scheme.
Use the button to switch to vertical tether feed pipes and set their data.
Close the dialog with OK when you have set the data of all pipe sections of your scheme.

Results

The pipe section data of the scheme are set.
