Create Curve Data for Pressure Losses in Ventilation Components

Shows step-by-step how to create custom data sets for ventilation components.

Before you begin

You want to create manufacturer-specific data sets for ventilation components with corresponding pressure losss data to assign them later to ventilation components in your model.

Requirements:

You have manufacturer-related component data for ventilation components.

Navigate to:

AssistantsVentilation / Drawing typeCalculationCurve data

Procedure

  1. Open the context menu in the Manufacturer row via the function button and select Create entry.

    The Create manufacturer dialog opens.

  2. Enter a manufacturer name and confirm the entries with OK.
  3. In the Model series row, open the context menu via the function button and select Create entry.

    The Create model series dialog opens.

  4. Enter a name for the model series and select a Connection geometry from the drop-down list.
  5. Optional: Select the options with damper positions and/or interpolate.
  6. In the Nominal diameter row, open the context menu via the function button and select Create entry.

    The Create nominal diameter dialog opens.

  7. Depending on the selected connection geometry, enter a nominal diameter (round pipe) or two values for the side lengths a and b (rectangular duct).
  8. Enter an article number.
  9. Confirm the entries with OK.
  10. Optional: If you have previously selected the option with damper positions, open the context menu in the row Damper position via the function button and select Create entry.
    Note: You can define several damper positions for each article and then specify them with individual volume flow and pressure loss data.
  11. Enter the data for the volume flow V and the pressure loss dp in the table.
    The entered data is displayed as a pressure loss curve in the curve diagram.

Results

You have created a component dataset for a ventilation component with curve data. The data can now be assigned to ventilation components via the Technical data dialog.
