Creating Curve Data for Pressure Losses in Ventilation Components
Shows step-by-step how to create custom data sets for to ventilation components.
Before you begin
You want to create manufacturer-specific data sets for ventilation components with corresponding pressure loss data to assign them to ventilation components in your model.
Requirement:
You have manufacturer-related component data for to ventilation components.
Navigate to:
Procedure
- Open the context menu in the Manufacturer row via the function button
and select Create Entry.
The Create Manufacturer dialog opens.
- Enter a manufacturer name and confirm the entries with OK.
- In the Model Series row, open the context menu via the function button
and select Create Entry.
The Create Model Series dialog opens.
- Enter a name for the model series and select a Connection Geometry from the drop-down list.
- In the drop-down list Duct Component, select a component type.
- Optional: Select the option with Damper Positions, if necessary combined with Interpolate.
- In the Nominal Diameter row, open the context menu via the function button
and select Create Entry.
The Create Nominal Diameter dialog opens.
- Depending on the selected connection geometry, enter a nominal diameter (round pipe) or two values for the side lengths a and b (rectangular duct).
- Enter an item number and confirm the entries with OK.
- Optional: If you have previously selected the option with Damper Positions, open the context menu in the row Damper position via the function button
and select Create Entry.
Note: You can define several damper positions for each article and then specify them with individual volume flow and pressure loss data. - Enter the data for the volume flow V and the pressure loss dp in the table. The entered data is displayed as a pressure loss curve in the curve diagram.
Results
You have created a component dataset for a ventilation component with curve data. The data can now be assigned to ventilation components in the Technical Data dialog and is available in the Duct Components dialog.
