Creating User-Defined Insulation Material

Shows step-by-step how to create user-defined insulation material.

Before you begin

You want to create a new insulation material and OR define the insulation thicknesses and thermal conductivity for each external pipe diameter or duct dimension.

Navigate to:

Project tab ➤ Discipline ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Material settings ➤ ... (Insulating material) ➤ Select...

Applies to: Heating, Cooling, Potable water.

Or: Project tab ➤ Waste Water Discipline ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Insulation Applications ➤ ... (Selection insulation)

Or: Project tab ➤ Ventilation discipline ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Assign insulating material ➤ … (Insulation inside/Insulation outside)

Procedure

Under Manufacturer, select user-defined or user-defined insulations.

Note:
For manufacturer insulation systems and LINEAR Neutral systems no changes or extensions of the tables of insulation are possible.
Select a user-defined product group under Product range or click + to create a new product group.
When creating a new product group, select the desired material type in the context menu that opens.
If necessary, click ... in the Product group section to rename the selected product group.
Enter a new name and confirm with OK.
If necessary, click ... in the Product(…) and Variant/insulation series(…) sections to rename the product and the series/insulation series.

One line has been created in the table. If necessary, click Details << to show the table.
Enter the maximum external diameter, the insulation thickness, the thermal conductivity and the material type.
Click in a free line in the table to create insulation for another external pipe diameter.
Repeat the process for all external pipe diameters for which the insulating material is to be used .

Results

The insulation series is created and is available for the following functions
