Work environment
The CYPEHVAC interface is divided into two tabs with different work environments: "Installation" and "Bill of quantities". These environments are similar to those in other CYPE tools and have a dockable window system that can be customised to adapt the workspace to the project's needs.
"Installation" tab
The "Installation" tab has a work environment that allows the system design to be carried out quickly and easily, both in a 3D view and in any type of 2D view (such as floor plans and elevations). This allows the elements in the system to be entered using the most appropriate view at any given time.
This tab displays the following:
- The top toolbar contains the tools for managing the project options; entering and editing the elements of the water-air conditioning systems, water-cooled system, air-source heat pump system and water production air conditioning systems; entering direct expansion systems; entering the elements for the air distribution system; and analysing, checking and designing the system.
- The work area, on the right side of the screen, is where the aforementioned elements are entered, edited and displayed.
- On the left-hand side are several panels with tools for defining the project views and managing the visibility of the elements read and own elements.
"Bill of quantities" tab
On the other hand, the "Bill of quantities" tab is used to manage the quantities and cost estimations of the installation, and displays the following:
- A top toolbar containing tools for creating and editing bills of quantities, as well as tools for managing and creating reports.
- A graphic window with its own toolbar, located on the right-hand side, where the different elements of the job can be viewed.
- A specific area for structuring the bill of quantities, on the left-hand side.
