Data Check : Data Consistency
To specify the level in the database at which the consistency check is to be carried out, select an item in the scrollable Check list. The default selection is the Current Element (CE).
You can control the data checking parameters independently for piping, hvac and structural elements. To view the current checking parameters, select Piping, HVAC or Structural.
To specify where the results of the data consistency check are to be sent to, click to select Screen or File as appropriate.
If Screen is selected, the results are displayed in the message area in the lower part of the window, which is the default.
If File is selected, type the file identifier in the Directory and Filename text boxes. The default directory is Local; that is, the directory from which you have entered the software. From the drop-down menu select one of the following:
|
•
|
|
•
|
Click Check to run the data consistency check or Cancel to discard any changes and exits the window.
You can view the current data checking parameters for piping by selecting Piping on the Data Consistency Check window to display the Piping Consistency Check Options window with the current settings shown.
|
The displacement Angle between their p-arrive and p-leave axes.
|
|
|
The Offset distance between their p-arrive and p-leave axes.
|
|
|
The Ratio of the offset to the projected distance between the p-arrive and p-leave axes (equivalent to the tangent of the Angle parameter).
|
|
|
The Check attachment points check box switches attachment point (ATTA) check On and Off. ATTA check can be switched off if you have ATTAs which are not predefined in the model.
|
|
Click Tube Range to display the Tube Tolerance Check Options window on which you can set the minimum length of tube for a given diameter.
Click OK to confirm the changes, click Reset to reset the window back to original settings or click Cancel to cancel the window and return to the Piping Consistency Check Options window.
On the Piping Consistency Check Options window click OK to confirm the changes, Default to reset to default settings, click Reset to reset to original settings when the window was first opened or Cancel to discard any changes and exit the window.
You can view the current data checking parameters for hvac by selecting HVAC on the Data Consistency Check window to display the HVAC Consistency Check Options window with the current settings shown.
|
The displacement Angle between their p-arrive and p-leave axes.
|
|
|
The Offset distance between their p-arrive and p-leave axes.
|
|
|
The Ratio of the offset to the projected distance between the p-arrive and p-leave axes (equivalent to the tangent of the Angle parameter).
|
|
|
The Check attachment points check box switches attachment point (ATTA) check On and Off. ATTA check can be switched off if you have ATTAs which are not predefined in the model.

Click Tube Range to display the Tube Tolerance Check Options window on which you can set the minimum length of tube for a given diameter.
Click OK to confirm the changes, click Reset to reset the window back to original settings or click Cancel to cancel the window and return to the Piping Consistency Check Options window.
On the Piping Consistency Check Options window click OK to confirm the changes, Default to reset to default settings, click Reset to reset to original settings when the window was first opened or Cancel to discard any changes and exit the window.
You can view the current data checking parameters for structural by selecting Structural on the Data Consistency Check window to display the Structural Consistency Check Options window with the current settings shown.
The Structural Consistency Check Options window displays the following tolerances that can be set:
|
•
|
the Eccentricity Section Distance
|
|
•
|
the Eccentricity Section Angle
|
|
•
|
the Eccentricity Section Ratio (the tangent of the Angle)
|
Positional errors for Joints and Fittings are measured as divergencies of the Joint or Fitting positions from their owning Nodes. The tolerances are specified separately for a Eccentricity Pjoint (Primary Joint), Eccentricity Sjoint (Secondary Joint) and Eccentricity Fitting.
Click OK to confirm the changes, click Default to reset to default settings, click Reset to reset to original settings when the window was first opened or click Cancel to discard any changes and exit the window.
