Manifolds

This allows manifolds to be inserted into the water supply system.

When entering or editing a manifold, the following parameters can be configured. Some of them only appear if the ‘Simplified input’ option, which can be found in ‘Calculation options’ under ‘General options’, is deactivated:

• Reference
  Element reference. This value can be locked or unlocked. The program will create or modify the reference when updating results if unlocked.
• Manifold reference
  Selects the type of manifold by its reference. These types can be created and edited from "Design and check options to be carried out" in "General options", in the "Project" group.
• General data
  The element's general data can be defined. Some of these values can be locked or unlocked. If a value is locked when updating the results, it is not modified and remains unchanged.
  • Number of outlets
  • Diameter (Lock/Unlock)
    Selects the technical characteristics of the pipe associated with the fitting. This option only appears if the “Diameter” option is deactivated in the manifold selected and defined in "Design and check options to be carried out" in "General options", in the "Project" group.
  • Temperature (Lock/Unlock)
  • Flow (Lock/Unlock)
  • Pressure  (Lock/Unlock)
  • Local pressure loss
    Defines the value of the local pressure loss associated with the element. This option only appears if the “Pressure loss” option is activated in the manifold selected and defined in "Design and check options to be carried out" in "General options", in the "Project" group.
• 3D layout
  The position and angle of the element can be defined. This section only appears when editing a previously entered element.
  • Position (x, y, z)
  • Angle
• Label (optional)
  The information visible in the element's label can be managed.
  • Reference (optional)
• Bill of quantities
  The element's bill of quantities generation can be controlled by filters.
