The Conduit Filter node (the sheet in the Conduit.xls workbook) defines the data required to select the conduit commodity when routing.
Bend Radius
Allows you to assign the turn radius to use while routing. The throat radius can determine the proper cables to use within the conduit. The software considers rules for the default throat radius for routing.
Bend Radius Multiplier
Specifies a factor used in determining the absolute bend radius value, which is the product of the nominal diameter times the bend radius multiplier.
Comments
Type an optional brief description of the conduit commodity.
Commodity Option
Type an option code. Valid entries are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Commodity Option sheet in the Codelist Number column. The option code gives the software a way of recognizing the default component when more than one component will work.
Contractor Commodity Code
Enter the contractor commodity code, which is the commodity code that is used during the design phase.
First Size From
Defines the lower bound of the largest nominal diameter for which this conduit commodity applies within the conduit materials class.
First Size To
Defines the upper bound of the largest nominal diameters for which this conduit commodity applies within the conduit materials class.
First Size Units
Specifies the units for the First Size From and First Size To columns. For example, you could enter in for inches or mm for millimeters.
Short Code
Type a short code for this row. A short code is used as a grouping or designation for each component so you can select the component. The software uses the short code to automatically insert components. An example for conduit is Conduit Bend. To create new short codes, go to the Tools Menu > Options Command in the Catalog task, and then select the Short Codes Tab (Options Dialog). Scroll to the bottom of the list and type a new short code in the blank line. Click Apply.
Second Size From
Defines the lower bound of the next largest nominal diameter for which this conduit commodity applies within the conduit materials class.
Second Size To
Defines the upper bound of the next largest nominal diameters for which this conduit commodity applies within the conduit materials class.
Second Size Units
Specifies the units for the Second Size From and Second Size To columns. For example, you could enter in for inches or mm for millimeters.
Selection Basis
Defines values that indicate if the conduit is available for the designer to select manually or only for selection as a result of a rule. Valid entries are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Conduit Selection Basis sheet in the Codelist Number column.
Spec Name
Specify the conduit specification (materials class) for which the conduit commodity is intended. You must define the conduit specification in the Conduit Specifications node (on the ConduitSpec sheet) before you can use it.
