Details on Lock/Unlock Pipe sections

Information about the Lock/unlock pipe sections dialog in pipe network calculation heating and cooling.

If you calculate a network for the first time, the dimensions of the components are locked by default and will not be changed during a calculation. To optimize the pipe network for the given design criteria, you can unlock the dimensions. Depending on the selected discipline, you can fix (lock) and unfix (unlock) other parameters in the dialog, such as the design form or the maximum speeds.
