When the System Inspector is active, tools allow you to modify, inspect, and view the properties for a selected duct or pipe system.
Note: The System Inspector is not available for Fire Protection Systems.
- Modify: lets you change component types within a system (ducts, air terminals, equipment, fittings, and accessories for duct systems and pipe, equipment, fittings and accessories for pipe systems) to balance losses throughout the system. You cannot change the system assignment using the System Inspector.
- Properties: opens the Properties palette where you can examine the properties for the selected system.
- Inspector: lets you examine specific sections or sub-sections of a system. When a section or sub-section is highlighted, the inspector shows information about the pressure loss, static pressure and flow for that section. You can click a section to retain the flow information in the view and highlight another section to compare the information for both sections. Information at terminal sections show total pressure loss for the path and the excess pressure for the path compared to the worst case path. The worst case path is shown in red. Arrows show the flow direction for all sections.
Note: If you have specified a 3rd party calculation method that is not available, the value for Pressure Loss will show as Not Computed.
