Controls parameters for creating a data file with an .INU extension. In this file, you can add, modify and remove insulation configurations that can be applied to CADWorx components.

Save

Saves the data in the Configuration Setup grid to the configuration file.

Save As

Displays the Save As Insulation Data dialog box to save the current data in the Configuration Setup grid to a new file.

Open

Displays the Open Insulation Data dialog box to load an insulation data file. The data contained in that file is displayed in the Configuration Setup grid and listed individually in the drop down categories.

Configuration Setup

Add to drawing

Saves the selected grid rows to the current drawing. If similar data already exists in the current drawing, it is not overwritten. All configurations that have been added, appear in the Apply tab of the palette.

Options

Displays the Insulation Options dialog box. For more information, see Insulation Options Dialog Box below.

Configuration Setup - Grid

Displays the content of the insulation data file in grid form.

Thickness

Specifies the actual insulation thickness value. Type a numeric value greater than zero. You can also select an existing value. This parameter is required to create an insulation configuration.

  • In Imperial units (Imperial pipe size / Imperial dimensions), type a value in inches.

  • In mixed metric units (Imperial pipe size / metric dimensions), type a value in inches or millimeters based on the setting from the Insulation Options dialog box. If you type inch values, the software automatically converts to millimeters when the insulation solid is created in the model. If you type a millimeter value, no conversion is done.

  • In metric units (metric pipe size / metric dimensions), type a value in millimeters.

Density

Specifies the insulation density value. Type numeric values greater than zero. You can also select an existing value. The density is used to calculate the insulation weight by multiplying it with the insulation volume. This parameter is required to create an insulation configuration.

  • In Imperial units (Imperial pipe size / Imperial dimensions), this value has units of lb / in3.

  • In mixed metric (Imperial pipe size / metric dimensions) the value has units of g / cm3.

  • In metric (metric pipe size / metric dimensions), the value has units of g / cm3.

Mastic

Specifies the mastic description. This is an optional value.

Heat Tracing

Specifies the heat tracing description. This is an optional value.

Insulation

Specifies the insulation description. This is an optional value.

Jacketing

Specifies the jacketing description. This is an optional value.

User

Specifies the user description. This is an optional value.

Add

Adds the current values from the boxes to the grid. If similar data exists, the value is not added to the grid.

Modify

Modifies the currently selected row in the grid using the values currently shown in the boxes. Each box corresponds to a column in the grid.

Remove

Deletes the currently selected row in the grid.

Add, Modify, and Remove only change the data currently displayed in the grid. The data in the insulation file is not updated until you click Save or Save As.

Insulation Options Dialog Box

Controls parameters for insulation options.

Insulation

Append "_I" to layer name

Adds the characters _I to the layer name to create the insulation layer name. For example, if the solid is on layer 1"-150-CWS, the insulation solid is on 1"-150-CWL_l. The insulation solid is grouped with the component solid and center line.

New Layer Name

Indicates that the software creates a new layer.

Name

Specifies the layer name for the insulation solids.

Color

Displays the standard CAD platform color selection dialog box. Select the default layer color for the insulation.

Graphics

Show Graphics for Gasket

Indicates whether gasket insulation graphics display. This works only for enhanced mode.

Show Graphics for Weld gap

Indicates whether weld gap insulation graphics display. This works only for enhanced mode.

Show Graphics for User Shapes

Indicates whether user shape insulation graphics display.

Metric/Inch Units system

Millimeter

Indicates that you can enter thicknesses in millimeters in mixed metric units (Imperial pipe size / metric dimensions) situations.

Inch

Indicates that you can enter thicknesses in inches in mixed metric units (Imperial pipe size / metric dimensions) situations.
