Toolbar
The toolbar enables the access to the follwoing features:
- Create a new empty duct; all changes to an already loaded duct will be lost
- Open a previously saved duct (*.duct)
- Save the current configuration. If selected for the first time for a new duct, a file name and path will be requested.
- Save the current configuration at a specific path
- Close the application; all changes to an already loaded duct will be lost
- Undo the last change to the model
- Redo the last un-done change to the model
- Set one prifile for all elements in the duct. Existing profile configurations will be over-written.
- Open the model database or create new models. This can be used to configure pump maps to be used in the analysis.
- Open the material database ore create new materials. This can be used to configure new materials as fluids or isolation.
- Access the documentation
Main window
The main window includes three tabs implementing the main steps of duct designer:
- Design Modelling of the sleeve based on the available Elements- and Profiles-Models
- Boundary conditions Characterization of the Boundary conditions including Isolation, adiabatic interfaces and heat sources (the last point is not required while using duct designer in the context of EMod)
- Analysis Analysis of the sleeve's pressure loss, heat transfer properties and parameter sensitivity
