About Mounting

Explains the concept of mounting and mounting elements for pipes, ducts and cable trays.

The function Mounting < allows you to mount brackets, insertion rails, and various mounting elements for pipes, ducts and cable trays. The placement of the mounting elements, brackets and insertion rails shall not be carried out until the positions, dimensions and insulation of the pipes and ducts have been finally determined and agreed with all parties involved.

The mounting elements, brackets and insertion rails can be suspended from ceilings, supported on floors or attached to walls, either individually or multiple times in line. When placing in line, you have the possibility to specify the distance between individual mounting elements, brackets or insertion rails and to place the elements symmetrically around the center of a specified section.

When placing brackets in floor plans or top views, the height for placement is determined by the floor selection and the specification of the offset.

When placing insertion rails, the width of the insertion rail automatically adjusts to the width of the pipe or the pipes, and you have the option to specify an excess length of the insertion rails and the height between the pipe and the rail. When mounting multiple pipes with insertion rails, the pipes have to run parallel.

To easily update mounting elements that have been inserted for HVAC components in linked models, you can use the function for updating the mounting to correct their position. This means that even if changes are made to pipe and duct routes at a late stage, adjustments can be made with minimal effort.
