The HVACElbow sheet in the HVAC.xls workbook defines the elbows that you want in the Catalog.
PartNumber
Type the part number for the elbow. An example is HVACElbowFo.
PartDescription
Type a description for the elbow. An example is variable shape and angle elbow.
SymbolDefinition
Type the symbol definition for the elbow.
ComponentType
Type the component type for the elbow.
DryWeight
Type the empty weight of the elbow. You must specify the type of units when you enter this value.
WaterWeight
Type the water weight of the elbow. You must specify the type of units when you enter this value.
DryCogX
Type the center-of-gravity location for the elbow along the X-axis when the elbow is empty.
DryCogY
Type the center-of-gravity location for the elbow along the Y-axis when the elbow is empty.
DryCogZ
Type the center-of-gravity location for the elbow along the Z-axis when the elbow is empty.
HVACShape
Record a description for the shape of the elbow. The only supported shapes and their values are: Rectangular = 1, Flat-Oval = 3, and Round = 4.
Width
Type the width of the elbow.
Depth
Type the depth of the elbow.
CornerRadius
Type the corner radius for the elbow.
ElbowThroatRadius
Type the curve radius for the elbow.
Angle
Specify the number of degrees in the angle for the elbow.
PlaneOfTurn
Specify the plane for a turn in the elbow.
For the remaining properties, (i) indicates an integer corresponding to a nozzle number assigned to the cross section. This method avoids a lengthy listing for all possibilities, like Nozzle(1):CrossSection, Nozzle(2):CrossSection, and Nozzle(3):CrossSection for three possible nozzles. When you type the nozzle properties in the workbook, substitute a number for i to assign the nozzle to the appropriate property.
Nozzle(i):CROSSSECTION
Identify the cross section for the nozzle. OCS-4 is an example. The HvacSpecDefaults sheet lists the valid cross sections.
Nozzle(i):EndPrep
Type the coded end preparation for the particular nozzle. Examples of end preparations include Threaded, Screwed, Plain End, Welded, Bolted, Female, Male, and Ferule. In the reference data, a number represents each type of end preparation (for example, 1 for Threaded, 2 for Screwed and so on).
Nozzle(i):Thickness
Type the thickness of the nozzle port.
Nozzle(i):FlangeWidth
Type the flange width for the nozzle.
Nozzle(i):FlowDirection
Type the flow direction for the nozzle.
