Classifying Components
Shows step-by-step how to classify components in order to assign the desired calculation type to the components for the Pipe and Duct Network Calculation.
Before you begin
You have unclassified components in a pipe or duct network and would like to assign the appropriate calculation types to these components so that the components take on the desired function in the calculation.
Note: As of version 25.0, the use of _User.tec files for the consideration of custom symbols in the pipe or duct network calculation is no longer supported. Custom symbols that were created with _User.tec files in previous program versions must now be reclassified once.
Note: When you perform a pipe or duct network calculation, unclassified components of the network are automatically listed in the Classify dialog. You do not have to select the components manually in the drawing.
Navigate to:
Applies to: Heating, Potable water, Waste water, Ventilation, Cooling, Gas.
Procedure
- Open the Components section.
- Click Classification..
- Make a component selection in the drawing that contains the components to be classified and confirm the selection with Enter.
The Classify dialog opens. The selected components are listed in the table. Unclassified types have no entry in the Classify as column.
- In the Classify as column of the component to be classified, click on
. The Classification dialog opens.
- Select the desired domain, function and class for the previously selected component in the tree structure on the left-hand side of the dialog.
- Optional: If necessary, select a variant of the component class from the list at the top right of the dialog.
- Confirm your selection with OK.
- If necessary, repeat the process until all components have the desired classifications.
Results
The components were classified as required and are taken into account accordingly in the pipe or duct network calculation.
