In the Valves dialog, select the valve model series to be used in the pipe network calculation. Data from various manufacturersis available, as well as data for valves created by the user in the Curve Data dialog.
Assignment of valve data is done via global preselection or by explicitly assigning valve data to individual components in the drawing. If multiple model series have been selected for a calculation type and, if applicable, for a class in the Valves dialog under Global Preselection, the program checks the model series until a suitable valve is found and automatically uses it. By prioritizing the individual model series, you can specify the order in which they are checked. In Local Assignment you may select and assign the valve model series that deviate from those selected in global preselection.
Valve model series added to the valve preselection (Valves dialog) are saved in the project together with their technical data until they are removed from the preselection. Once a valve model series is removed from preselection, it is no longer used for the corresponding components in the calculation.
Install an appropriate data set to use the data from manufacturer systems. Manufacturer data sets can be downloaded via the LINEAR Installation Center.
