Displays and defines the general properties of the selected conduit.
Because conduit run properties are customizable in the reference data, only the properties that are required by the software are documented.
Conduit run properties are divided into several different categories: Standard, Surface Treatment and Coating, Cable Fill, and Responsibility. You select which category that you want to define values for by using the Category option.
Standard
System
Displays or defines the system for the conduit. The last system that you selected is the default. Select More to display all defined systems. You can create a new system in the Systems and Specifications task.
Name
Displays or defines the name of the conduit that you are creating. The name is based on the Name Rule selection. If you want to type a new name for the run, in the Name Rule box, select User Defined, and then type a name for the run in the Name box.
Name Rule
Specify the naming rule that you want to use to name this run. You can select one of the listed rules or select User Defined to specify the run name yourself in the Name box.
Specification
Displays or defines the specification for the conduit. Specifications are assigned to systems in the Systems and Specifications task. Only those specifications that are allowed in the system that you selected appear. You define specifications in the reference data.
Nominal Conduit Diameter
Displays or defines the conduit diameter. The specification controls the available NPDs in this list. Select the nominal pipe diameter (NPD) that you want to use for this run. If you select a nozzle as the starting point of your conduit run, the software automatically uses the NPD of the nozzle as the NPD of the conduit run.
Behavior Controlled by User
Specifies if you control the conduit run or if the conduit run is controlled by the parent duct bank. This option is only available when the selected conduit is inside a duct bank.
If False (the default value), the conduit run is controlled by the parent duct bank. This means:
-
The conduit ends at the end of the duct bank. If you extend the conduit past the duct bank end, and later the duct bank is updated, the conduit end is repositioned back to the duct bank end.
-
Insert components on the extended part of the conduit run, but you cannot delete the component.
-
Individual conduit features inside the duct bank cannot be moved.
If True, you control the conduit run. This means you can:
-
Extend the conduit run past the end of the duct bank.
-
Insert and delete components on the extended part of the conduit run.
-
You can move individual conduit features inside the duct bank.
