Analysing, checking and designing the water evacuation system
In the "Installation" tab of the "Sanitary Systems" tab, in the "Calculation" group of the main toolbar, there are options for analysing, checking and designing the elements in the water evacuation system:
The program carries out the analysis of the network according to the selected standard or the customised configuration used, carrying out the relevant checks; it carries out the analysis of the installation tree, calculating gross and simultaneous flows with the possibility of configuring simultaneity, and it calculates and graphically represents the most unfavourable and most favourable spans in the system.
Update results
This option allows users to analyse the system and check whether the parameters calculated in the elements of the water evacuation system are within the permitted ranges, depending on the configuration defined in the "Design and check options to be carried out" section, within the "General options".
During the process, the information of the elements in the system, such as references or parameters that are not locked in the editing panel of each element, is also generated or updated.
The result is a straightforward display with error or warning messages on the elements that have a problem in the check, as well as a detailed report by consulting the check section on each element.
Design
This option is used for analysing the system and launching the automatic design process of the elements in the water evacuation system.
The program will try to modify the dimensions of the elements in the system to comply with the analysis checks according to the defined configuration. The checks defined in the "Design and check options to be carried out", in the "General options", are taken into account.
The system is designed automatically, optimising the space occupied by the pipe in the free height of the floor and the volumes of excavation.
Consult the checks carried out
This option is used to open and consult the list of detailed checks that have been carried out on each element in the system.
This report includes information with the reference and/or description of the element, together with a table showing a description of each "Check" carried out, the limit and calculated "Values", and the "Status" of compliance.
This tool is equivalent to the "Consult checks" option, accessible from the editing panel of each element.
Show/Hide editing issues
When this option is activated, the elements of the system in which there has been a warning or error relating to their entry or editing by means of an incident system, as in the case of incorrectly developed systems, are highlighted. Hovering the cursor over each issue displays the message describing the warning or error.
Show/Hide design issues
In a similar way to the previous option, activating this option highlights the elements of the system in which there has been a warning or error related to the design checks by means of an incident system, such as possible non-compliance with codes. Hovering the cursor over each incident displays the message describing the warning or error.
