Details on “Pipes in the Scheme” in the “Settings” (Heating/Cooling)

Information about the section Pipes in the Scheme in the Settings dialog of the Pipe Network Calculation Heating and the Pipe Network Calculation Cooling.

In this area, you can specify a length and height factor that is used to multiply the drawn dimensions of pipe sections in schemes during calculation.

You are here:

Project tab ➤ Discipline Heating/Cooling ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Settings …

Pipes in the Scheme

When setting up this section, keep in mind that a pipe network in the form of a pipe run scheme is only partially scalable at most. Edit the corresponding section directly in the calculation dialog to calculate the change in pipe lengths of a pipe section.

Length Factor, Height Factor

Enabled: The drawn pipe lengths or heights are determined during detection and multiplied by the entered factor. Since drawing is usually done at a scale of 1:1, the default factor is 1.

Disabled: The drawn pipe lengths or heights are determined during detection. If you have already edited pipe section data in the calculation dialog, the user-defined values are used.
