Making General Settings

Shows step-by-step how to set general settings for the calculation.

Before you begin

You want to make sure that all parameters are set correctly before the calculation.

Note:

This task serves as a support for setting basic parameters for the calculation. Deviating from or in addition to the steps listed, further settings may be required to obtain the desired result.

Dialog Settings Heating in the LINEAR Solutions for Autodesk AutoCAD

Procedure

In the Component detection area, decide whether or not to accept Modeled dimensions in the network during detection (for a selection).
Enable the option Dimension pipes decreasing if sections are to be dimensioned with decreasing dimensions in direction of the consumer.
Disable the option Detect material with every calculation if you you are working on a large project and want to shorten the calculation time.
Check and correct the entered limit and tolerance values if necessary.

Results

The basic settings for the calculation have been made and are now taken into account by the calculation.
