Material settings

Opens the dialog for material settings, in which combinations of insulation and pipe material can be specified and assigned to pipes in the project for various cases of application.

Visualization...

This function displays insulation properties, pipe material and ambient temperatures of the pipe network in color in the model.

Display

This function displays ambient temperatures of the pipe network in color in the model.

Ambient temperature in °C (Cold water)

Enter the ambient temperature for cold water pipes or click to select one from the Ambient temperatures table.

Ambient temperature in °C (Hot water)

Enter the ambient temperature for hot water- and circulation pipes or click to select one from the Ambient temperatures table.

global increase/decrease of ambient temperatures

Here you can increase or decrease all assigned ambient temperatures globally by a certain value. For example, if you set the slide control to +1, all ambient temperatures will increase by 1 Kelvin. This global change in temperature is applied directly to visualization (Display function) and simulation. You do not have to assign the temperature change to the pipes separately.

Assign

After clicking this button, select the section parts in the model that are to receive the selected material settings and temperatures.

Delete

After clicking this button, select the section parts in the model from which removed the material settings and temperatures are to be removed.
