Calculate water pipe and air duct networks

Highlights

With the calculation modules from our partner Solar-Computer you can create the following interactive designs:

  • Heating pipe networks
  • Air duct networks according to DIN 18379
  • Drinking water networks according to DIN 1988-300
  • Drainage networks according to DIN 1986-100

Interactive design of heating pipe networks

Using data from the room macro, the designer draws the heating pipe network in TRICAD MS. The “Radiator Piping Network Calculation” (order no. H59) program by SOLAR-COMPUTER can then be used to generate a calculation model, add required calculation parameters (manufacturer data VDI 3805), and calculate and dimension the heating pipe network where necessary. Relevant results and product information are entered into TRICAD MS. Bidirectionality is supported even when drawing and calculation are active at the same time, e.g. to search for elements in the drawing when they are of interest during calculation; and vice versa.

 

Interactive design of air duct networks according to DIN 18379

As with heating pipe networks, TRICAD MS and SOLAR-COMPUTER software can be used for the biderectional design of air duct networks. Calculations are carried out in compliance with DIN 18379 in the SOLAR-COMPUTER program “Air duct network calculation” (order no. H39.DRU). Fixed dimensions of the drawing are retained. The calculations include the flow-dependent zeta values, pressure losses, dimensioning where needed and network adjustment. Optionally, you can also choose to add the “Duct measurement” (order No. H39.AUF) program by SOLAR-COMPUTER.

 

Plan drinking water networks DIN 1988-300 interactively

As with heating pipe networks, TRICAD MS and SOLAR-COMPUTER software can be used for the biderectional design of drinking water networks. All calculations are carried out in accordance with the current standards in the SOLAR-COMPUTER program “Drinking water installation DIN 1988-300” (Order No. S89).

 

Interactive design of drainage networks according to DIN 1986-100

As with heating pipe network, TRICAD MS and SOLAR-COMPUTER software can be used for the biderectional design drainage networks. All calculations are carried out in accordance with the current standards in the SOLAR-COMPUTER program “Drainage DIN 1986-100” (Order No. S86).

 

The interfaces to the calculation modules are included in TRICAD MS free of charge. You can purchase the modules directly from our partner Solar-Computer.
