Appendix B. HVAC Catalogue Guide This appendix gives an introduction to the way the HVAC catalogue is used in creating the design model and lists the principal features of some standard catalogue components to which you may want to refer when creating your design model. (For full details of the way in which the catalogue is built up and used, see the VANTAGE PDMS PARAGON Reference Manual.)

B.1.

The Basic Features of the Catalogue All HVAC components used in the design are selected from the Catalogue database by setting the Specification Reference for the corresponding design element so that it points to the required catalogue entry. Each catalogue item is defined in terms of two subsidiary sets of data: • A Geometry Set, which defines the overall physical shape of the item in terms of a set of 3D basic shapes (known as primitives). A geometry set can include negative 3D primitives to represent holes. • A Point Set, which defines a number of reference points and directions superimposed on the geometric shape so that individual parts of that shape can be identified and manipulated. These reference points, each of which represents a 1D point position, are called p-points. A range of catalogue components with similar overall geometry will all reference the same geometry set and point set, so that the amount of data needed to represent all possible items is kept to a minimum. The dimensions of the items are not fixed in the catalogue but are expressed in terms of design parameters. Values are allocated to these parameterised dimensions when the item is used in a specific part of the design model: they may either be set explicitly or derived from associated dimensions of other design components to which the item is to be connected. The following sections illustrate the components in each general category, showing the details of their parameterised geometry.

Appendix C. Other Relevant Documentation This guide is intended only as an introduction to those parts of VANTAGE PDMS most relevant to HVAC design. As such, it describes only the main concepts needed to get you started. Should you need more detailed information about any topic, the following documents are available.

C.1.

On-Line Help For detailed instructions on the use of the forms and menus via which you control the application, on-line help is provided as an integral part of the user interface. The Help option on the menu bars gives you the following choices: Help on Context This gives you help on any window currently visible in the display. When you select this option, the cursor will change to a question mark (?). Move the question mark into the window on which you want help and click the left-hand mouse button. Help Contents This displays the Help window so that you can find the required topic from the hierarchical contents list. Help Index This displays the Help window so that you can find all topics relevant to a selected keyword. Help About This displays information about the current operating system on your computer and about versions of VANTAGE PDMS and its applications to which you have access. Pressing the F1 key at any time will display the help topic for the currently active window (equivalent to Help on Context for the current window).

C.2.

VANTAGE PDMS Introductory Guides The following guides introduce the principal VANTAGE PDMS facilities to new users (this HVAC guide forms part of the set): Getting Started with PDMS Introduces PDMS and related products

VANTAGE PDMS Reference Manuals The full VANTAGE PDMS documentation set includes a number of reference manuals which give detailed explanations of all the technical concepts involved. These manuals also describe the underlying command syntax which can be used to control VANTAGE PDMS directly (thus bypassing the forms and menus interface). Those particularly relevant to HVAC design work include:

DESIGN Reference Manual DRAFT Reference Manual PARAGON Reference Manual SPECON Reference Manual

C.4.

Covers concepts and commands for all design disciplines. Explains the commands for the PDMS 2D drafting facilities. Explains how to set up a PDMS Catalogue. Explains how to create tabulated specifications.

General Guides The following parts of the Plant Design Software Customisation User Guide:

Part I: Macros and Programmable Macros Explains how to write your own command macros for controlling VANTAGE PDMS; particularly relevant when you design your own forms and menus interface.

Part II:

User Interface Customisation Tells you how to design your own forms and menus, so that you can customise the user interface to suit your specific needs.
