Details on Lock/Unlock Section Parts

Information about the dialog Lock/unlock section parts in the Potable Water Pipe Network Calculation.

If you calculate a network for the first time, the dimensions of the components are locked by default and will not be changed during a calculation. To optimize the pipe network for the given design criteria, you can unlock the dimensions. Depending on the selected trade, you can lock and unlock other parameters in the dialog, such as the design form or the maximum velocities.

You are here:

Project tab ➤ Discipline Potable Water ➤ Planning type ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Calculation ... ➤ Lock/Unlock section parts

Entire project, Current System, Current flow path, Current section part

Determines whether you lock or unlock the dimensions or other parameters of all components in the project, the selected system, the marked flow path, or the marked section.

lock

Locks the dimension of the activated parameters. The dimensions of these components are determined during the calculation using the specified parameters.

unlock

Unlocks the dimension of the activated parameters. If you unlock a dimension or parameter, the specifications for the dimensioning from the Settings are used.
