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.
