Data input and output sequence for the design and calculation of drainage systems

The drainage system can be defined and calculated in the "Sanitary Systems" tab of the program using the following sequence of data input and output:

1. Creating a new project (from "File", "New").
2. (Optional) Linking to BIMserver.center and importing of the geometric model; definiting the configuration and applicable regulations; importing catalogues; and generating consumption data and downloads based on the sanitary fittings extracted from the BIM model.
3. (Optional) Reviewing and configuring manufacturer catalogues (under "Project", "Catalogues").
4. Reviewing and configuring general options (under "Project", "General options").
5. Defining rainfall intensity (from "Project", "Rainfall intensity").
6. (Optional) Defining the floor plans (under "Project", "Floor plans") if they have not been imported from the BIM model.
7. Laying out of the drainage outlets in the work area. This can be achieved in several ways:
   • Using the data automatically generated from the sanitary fittings read from the BIM model or from the consumption figures entered in the "Water Systems" tab.
   • Entering downloads manually (options in the "Downloads" section).
8. (Optional) Adding drainage areas to the workspace (from "Drains", "Drainage area") and associated drainage elements (the "Drain pipe", "Gutter" and "Longitudinal drain" options in the "Pipes" group).
9. Laying out of manholes in the work area (from "Registers", "Manhole").
10. Configuring the connection point for the drainage system in the work area (under "Registers", "Connection point").
11. Laying pipes between drains, manholes and the connection point (options in the "Pipes" group).
12. Laying out of cleaning vents and ventilation outlets (under "Vents", "Fittings").
13. (Optional) Creating fittings such as elbows or tees at pipe junctions (under "Registers", "Fittings").
14. Analysing, checking and designing model elements, and viewing results (the "Analysis" group).
15. (Optional) Managing and generating installation diagrams (the "Diagrams" tab).
16. (Optional) Bill of quantities management and generation (the "Bill of quantities" tab).
17. Viewing reports and drawings (via the "Reports" and "Drawings" options on the top menu bar).
18. Exporting to BIMserver.center (from "BIMserver.center", "Share").
