Audytor SET

The Audytor SET program is designed to graphically support the design and adjustment of central heating installations, cold, hot and circulation water installations as well as central cooling installations in which the medium is water or glycol water.

The Audytor SET program is designed to graphically support the design and adjustment of central heating installations, cold, hot and circulation water installations as well as central cooling installations in which the medium is water or water glycol solution.

A program with a built-in mechanism for importing building bases from Autodesk® Revit® and exporting the installation design to Autodesk® Revit®.

The Audytor SET consists of the following modules:

• Individual modules cooperate with each other and use a common 2D and 3D graphic environment.
• The modules can also work indepedently if it is necessary to design only one system of installation (except for the FC module).
• Each module is activated by a separate license key
• icense keys run individual modules in the Basic or Pro version (except for the FC module - it does not function independently).
• It is possible to run the program using a trial license.
• The FC module extends the possibilities of other modules with additional functions.

In the newest version of program Audytor SET new functions and several enhancements have been implemented to speed up the installation design process.

Main changes:

• Surface systems - a ceiling system and a wall system
• Calculations of resulting cooling efficiency of the installation

The Audytor SET 7.4 program introduced the possibility of designing surface systems - a ceiling system and a wall system. Among the surface systems, we also will find the well-known floor system

Before starting the design of the surface system, the user should declare the parameters related to the radiator's constrution. The constrution data will be automatically inherited directly into the drawning, significantly reducing the data entry time.

After designing the surface installation with heating parameters, the program will determine the resulting cooling power when switched to cooling mode.

These calculations will be performed if the CC module is activated in the general data and if in CH Heat Sorce Tab the Calculate Cooling option is enabled

The program uses the same flow rate of the agent in cooling mode as in the heating system. After performing the calculations, the results can be read both on the drawing – for example, on a tabular label attached to the manifold – and from the general tabular results.

The new Fast Calculation (FC) module in the SET Auditor provides the opportunity for simplified installation design. It also makes it possible to speed up the creation of professional designs

In professional design mode, elements of simplified design can be used to streamline the design process (fast estimation of heat loss in the absence of results from the OZC program, selection of space heating concepts, etc.).

Both the simplified design and the detailed professional design are saved in the same file, which facilitates further work with the project.

This function enables calculation of the value of room thermal load in a simplified manner based on a few basic parameters.

Thanks to this function, the designer can select the appropriate method of heating the room and get an idea of the type of heating equipment to be used in the room.

The surface layout suggested by the program can be inserted into the floor plan drawing.

After selecting the manifold and individual receivers, the program generates simplified connections automatically.

This function makes it possible to perform calculations for a group of underfloor radiators during the design process, before the complete calculation of the installation. Thanks to this, it is possible to quickly test the response of the calculation results to individual data (e.g. supply temperature, heating floor structure, diameter of the pipes, spacing of pipes, division into several circuits, etc.).

The function of quick selection of underfloor radiators allows to determine:

• possible supply temperature range for individual radiators 
• maximum supply temperature for the indicated group of radiators 
• proposed division of coils in order to meet the criteria of maximum hydraulic resistance and maximum length   
• proposed division of coils in order to reduce the differences in resistance between coils and to facilitate hydraulic balancing of the installation.

The program has expanded the possibilities of automatic drawing of floor heating coils. Currently, the user can choose one of the following ways to create a given coil:

• spiral with clockwise direction
• spiral with counter-clockwise direction
• meander coil.

Besides, the user can edit (correct) the coil shape created by the program.

The graphic design has been changed in the program - both in terms of the graphic style and window organization. Thanks to this, they have become even more transparent 

The automatic coil pipe generation mechanism has been extended with a function that allows determining the effective heating surface of a floor heater. The coil system can occupy the surface of the entire heater or "bypass" the manifold and connecting pipes of other heaters. It is also possible to designate zones to turn off part of the heating zone without having to change the shape of the heater itself.

Tools for quickly dividing and connecting polygons that define hotplates. One field can be divided into two or three equal fields - horizontally or vertically, respectively. The user can also indicate a dividing line using a broken line. At the same time, the option of combining several cooking zones into one has been introduced.

These functions are especially useful when designing underfloor heating, but can be used for sharing
and joining other polygons (e.g. room zones).

The program allows you to choose the direction of drawing the spiral coil clockwise or counterclockwise.

If the automatic coil generated option is switched off, the program displays auxiliary lines supporting manual drawing of lines. The lines are drawn with a given spacing taking into account the spacing in the peripheral zone.

The function of automatic insertion of a heating zone in the room zone (so-called insertion around the cursor).

The heating zones before connecting to the pipes are displayed in less intense colors, thanks to which it is very easy to know which fields still need to be connected.

Extended range of mixing group schemes with the possibility of local mixing at the manifold.

It is possible to insert a fragment of another drawing in the drawing. This significantly increases the possibility of creating clear technical documentation.

Display of walls with filling - gray for external walls and yellow for internal walls. This improves the readability of created drawings.

The selective selection function allows you to indicate what elements of the drawings are to be marked (e.g. rooms, pipes, fittings, etc.).

This function is useful when, for example, the user would like to duplicate selected elements from the indicated area to the next floor.

The functions Leave selected lines and Leave unselected lines allow you to narrow the range of selected objects. After selecting a number of elements in the drawing window, you can then remove from the selection the items indicated in the table or just leave those items.

This function enables precise moving of objects. The user defines the displacement vector, i.e. specifies the start and end points.

This function, combined with the Magnifier tool, enables very precise moving of objects. It is very useful, in the case of matching architectural objects on different floors. Just enable the display of the previous floor and then indicate the corresponding points on the architectural plans of two floors.

Expanding the possibilities of displaying (drawing) the previous floor.

Currently, elements of the previous storey or the next storey can be displayed, or both. This facilitates adjusting architectural projection positions and location of installation risers.

This option allows you to change the thickness of the walls when drawing them:
– CTRL + left square bracket - reducing the wall thickness,
– CTRL + right square bracket - increasing wall thickness.

The same effect can be achieved by pressing the CTRL key while holding the mouse wheel. This function allows easy adjustment of the wall thickness to the loaded building foundation (planview).

The ability to export to Microsoft Excel not only individual tables, but also all tables and diagnostics at once. This significantly reduces exporting time if you need to save a number of tables.

The program has been equipped with the latest cooperation module with DWG and DXF files.

It allows among others:

• Loading DXF and DWG drawings in the newest versions.
• UNICODE text support for most characters to be displayed correctly.
• Export of drawings in the following formats: DWG, DXF, PDF, SVG, CGM, HPHL, SWF.
• Significantly faster display of complex drawings thanks to the simplified paint function.
• A more realistic export of drawings to DXF and DWG files.
• Saving raster drawings in DXF and DWG files.
• More convenient management of drawing layers

The function allows you to export the installation project to a file that can later be loaded into Autodesk® Revit® using the Audytor SET plugin for Revit.

The function allows you to export from the data and export from the results. Export from data allows you to save even an incomplete installation project (not recalculating), for example, the arrangement of the water risers, or the layout of the radiators. Export from results allows us to use technical data of selected pipes and devices in Autodesk® Revit®, eg pipe diameters, valve settings, radiator sizes, and pipe spacing in underfloor heating. In addition, physical quantities are available, such as the medium speed, the power of the radiator, and pressure losses.

• Possibility to import building bases from Autodesk® Revit® via a gbXML file, 
• Possibility to export data about the designed installation to Autodesk® Revit®..

A significant part of the parameters introduced at the beginning of defining the building are typical data for the entire building (the so-called default data). When entering general data, the user can define for each device default catalog symbol. This symbol is automatically assigned to each device in the drawing. The previously defined default catalog symbol can be changed at any time, also after inserting the device into the drawing. Changing the symbol of a device in the general data will change the symbols of all devices of a given type, unless the symbol has been “firmly” entered for a given device.

The data is edited in the table, which allows you to specify parameters for many drawing elements simultaneously. Linking the drawing to the table makes the element edited in the table highlighted in the diagram.

The data inheritance system allows you to:

• significant time savings at the data entry stage (without the need to repeatedly enter repeated data),
• very quick change of data in case of a change in design assumptions or creating variant projects.

• Import and export of drawings in DWG format
• The function of organizing the zones of risers in the development
• Data file backup system
• A mechanism that automatically generates an axonometric scheme of the designed installation
• Ability to display installation pipes with actual diameters
• Mechanism of intelligent duplication of installation elements
• The function of arranging labels on several storeys at the same time (in plan views and axonometry drawings) and a mechanism for duplicating labels on adjacent storeys
• Improving the drawing of sewage installations.
• A system of keyboard shortcuts to assign simple button combinations to the most used drawing tools.
• Improvements in editing drawing layer properties.
• Improvements in displaying information about the circulation by a given heater / receiver.  

Programmā datus var ievadīt grafiski plāna skatā vai diagrammās. Nepieciešamā informācija par rasētajiem elementiem ir iekļauta kopā ar plāna skatiem vai diagrammām izveidotajās tabulās. Veidojot tabulu, ir iespējams ātri izlabot ar atsevišķām caurulēm, radiatoriem, stiprinājumiem, kā arī ar visām atlasītajām elementu grupām saistītos datus. Katrs sistēmas komponents ir aprīkots ar apstiprinājuma un atbalsta sistēmu, ar kuru var saņemt informāciju par ievietoto daudzumu vai attiecīgos kataloga datus.

Lai datu ievade būtu vienkāršāka, programmatūra ietver turpmāk minētās iespējas.

• Iespēju vienlaikus labot daudzus sistēmas komponentus.

• Iespēju izmantot jau gatavus blokus.

• Viedas funkcijas, kas veic jebkuru rasējuma detaļu dublēšanu horizontāli un vertikāli kopā ar atbilstošu elementu pārnumurēšanu.

• Iespēju noteikt neierobežotu pielāgoto bloku skaitu, ko veido jebkuras rasējuma daļas.

• Ātru piekļuvi papildu informācijai par ievietotajiem daudzumiem.

• Iznirstošas pogas, lai būtu vieglāk piekļūt biežāk izmantotajiem komponentiem.

• Funkciju, kas dinamiski sasaista datus no rasējuma ar datiem tabulā.

• Funkcijas, kuras automātiski savieno stiprinājumus, radiatorus un citus sistēmu komponentus ar caurulēm.

• Automātisku stāvvadu izveidi uz plāna skatu bāzes.

• Datu labošanu tabulas veidā, piedāvājot iespēju iestatīt vairāku atlasītu elementu parametrus vienlaikus.

• Dinamisku sasaisti starp rasējuma datiem tabulā, kas izgaismojas rasējumā, ja elements tiek labots tabulā.

Katrs ievietotais komponents ir aprīkots ar apstiprinājuma un atbalsta sistēmu, ar kuru var iegūt informāciju par vērtībām vai kas atsauc atbilstošo katalogu, kā arī ar datu testu.

Programma ļauj izveidot pilnu grafisko dokumentāciju sistēmas projektēšanai, pateicoties iespējai parādīt aprēķinu rezultātus stāvu plāna skatos. Bieži ir jāpievieno veidojamā projekta attēli. Attēlus var ievadīt, nolasot attēlus no faila, skenējot vai ielīmējot tos no starpliktuves. Pēc ievadīšanas attēliem bieži ir nepieciešama izlīdzināšana, kalibrēšana, apgriešana un citas korekcijas.

Tehniskie rasējumi (piem. izklājumi) tagad parasti tiek veidoti ar datoru. Līdz ar to tie ir pieejami elektroniskā formātā kā faili. Vektoru formāti (piem. DWG, DXF, WMF, EMF) ir vispiemērotākie tehniskiem rasējumiem. Attēlu failus var veidot skenējot, tad tie gandrīz vienmēr ir pieejami rastera formātā (BMP, JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, GIF, ICO, PNG).

Parasti attēla ielādēšanas laikā būs jāaizpilda informācija dialoga logā "Attēla vienības". Pēc tam, kad attēls ir ievietots programmā, parasti ir jāveic tā izlīdzināšana un apgriešana, var būt nepieciešama arī kalibrēšana, lai pielāgotu attēlu tā elektroniskajam ekvivalentam. Ir iespējams izvēlēties skenējamā attēla izšķirtspēju un kvalitāti un saglabāt skenētos dokumentus izvēlētajā grafiskajā formātā. Programma ir aprīkota ar skeneriem, kas savietojami ar TWAIN specifikāciju.

Lai izveidotu sistēmas projektu, ir jāveic rasēšana ar atzīmētām telpas zonām. Projektētājs var rasēt telpas zonas manuāli vai ielādēt tās kopā ar plāna skatiem no siltumslodzes programmas (OZC 6.5). Ja OZC 6.5 programmā ir izveidots trīsdimensionāls ēkas modelis, CH programmā tiks importēti plāna skati kopā ar siltumslodzes rezultātiem. Tabulas veidā ievadītā ēka tiks ielādēta kā telpu saraksts ar rezultātiem.

Turpmāk aprakstīts ērtākais darba veids, izmantojot pilnu sadarbības potenciālu starp programmām OZC 6.5 un CH 4.0. 

1. Ēkas plāna skatu ielāde no tādām datnēm kā DWG, DXF, WMF u. tml. OZC 6.5 programmā.

2. Ēkas 3D modeļa rasēšana OZC 6.5 programmā un termisko aprēķinu izpilde.

3. Rezultātu ielāde no OZC 6.5 programmas CH 4.0 programmā (siltumslodze un plāna skati).

4. Sistēmas rasēšana programmatūras instalācijas OZC 6.5 programmā un aprēķinu veikšana.

Sistēmas projektu var izveidot diagrammas veidā, plāna skatā un daļēji diagrammas un daļēji plāna skatā. 
Ja sistēmas rasējums tiek veidots plāna skatā, programma automātiski izveido diagrammu, kas „savieno“ plāna skatus.

The program has a mechanism that automatically creates a set of project backups (up to 8 files).

Data files are backed up every time data is saved, with the new files overwriting the older files so that at least one copy of the file from each stage of the project work is always kept.

This function will allow you to recover the project file even if its last versions are overwritten or damaged.

• Peles kursors ieņem neliela attēla formu, kas atbilst pašreiz izmantotajai funkcijai.

• Tiek rādītas papildu rindas, iesakot automātisku konkrētu punktu savienojuma izveidi (piemēram, radiatoru savienojuma vietas).

• Caurules ir iespējams uzzīmēt kā pārus (padeve/atplūde) ar atlasītām atstarpēm, kuras, ja nepieciešams, automātiski pielāgojas pievienotajām ierīcēm (piemēram, radiatoru savienojuma punktu atstarpēm).

• Rasējot caurules kā daudzstūru ķēdi, tiek samazināts nepieciešamo peles klikšķu skaits.

• Automātiska radiatoru ievietošana zem logiem.

• Automātiska radiatoru savienošana ar apakšējo cauruļu savienojumu.

• Jebkuru rasējuma daļu dublēšanas iespēja viena stāva ietvaros vai uz nākamo stāvu.

• Iespēja izveidot elementu spoguļattēlu.

• Iespēja izmantot jau gatavus blokus. Izmantojot kopā ar programmatūru pieejamo tādu rasējumu (bloku) standarta detaļu kā stāvvadu stāvi, dzīvokļa elementi vai kolektoru sistēmu daļas bibliotēku, ir iespējams ātri izveidot diagrammu.

• Iespēja noteikt neierobežotu pielāgoto bloku skaitu, ko veido jebkuras rasējuma daļas. Iepriekš izveidotos blokus var izmantot turpmākajos projektos.

The program is equipped with the function of automatic drawing of a heating pipe routing scheme in a spiral system.

Coils are created in all floor heaters on floor plans, taking into account the spacing of supply and return pipes as well as the indicated spacing between the pipes wherever possible, both in the basic zone and in edge zones.

The program also performs precise calculations of the generated coil length.

The program since version 7.1 has a mechanism that automatically generates the axonometric scheme of the designed installation.

Axonometry drawing can be printed or exported to DWG format, which allows to create a complete project documentation.

The axonometry schema also allows displaying the scheme of the entire installation in one drawing allowing for a more precise orientation in the project and selecting and simultaneously editing the element data on different floors, which significantly speeds up the procedure of design modification and installation adjustment.

Ievadot datus, programma pastāvīgi pārbauda to pareizību. Tādējādi būtiski iespējams samazināt kļūdu skaitu. Aprēķina procesa laikā notiek pilna datu apstiprināšana. Tad tiek izveidots kļūdu, brīdinājumu un ieteikumu saraksts. Sarakstā ietverta informācija par problēmu nozīmības pakāpi un vietu.

Pēc aprēķiniem programma analizē iegūtos rezultātus. Tiek izveidots tāds pats paziņojumu saraksts. Plašās sistēmas diagnostikas darbības ļauj projektētājam pilnībā novērtēt projekta kvalitāti. Programma ir aprīkota ar ātrās meklēšanas mehānismu, lai atrastu radušos kļūdu (automātiski atrod tabulu, rindu un sleju ar nepareizajiem datiem un kļūdainais komponents tiek norādīts rasējumā).

Aprēķinu rezultāti tiek parādīti gan grafiskā, gan tabulas veidā (7. attēls). Atsevišķu sistēmas komponentu apzīmējumu formātu var brīvi mainīt (parādīto vērtību un apzīmējuma stilu atlase).

Tabulu formātu var mainīt (parādīto sleju un rindu, fontu izmēru atlase) un sakārtot pēc jebkura atslēgas kritērija.
Tabulas satur vispārējus rezultātus un detalizētus rezultātus konkrētām ierīcēm, sistēmām un materiālu un stiprinājumu sarakstus.
Rasējumos ar rezultātiem atrodami apzīmējumi, kuri satur datus par norādīto ierīci. Apzīmējumu forma ir pilnībā maināma. Visus rezultātus, kas pieejami konkrētam elementam, ir iespējams ietvert apzīmējumā. Daudzus apzīmējumu formātus var saglabāt un vēlāk uzreiz izmainīt.

Aprēķinu rezultātus ir iespējams izdrukāt ar ploteri vai printeri. Lietotājs var atlasīt rasējuma mērogu un izmantot drukas priekšskatījumu, lai noteiktu, kā rasējumi ir jāizdrukā.

Ja rasējums neietilpst vienā lapā, programma to izdrukā pa fragmentiem, kurus var salīmēt kopā. Tādējādi, pat izmantojot vienkāršāko A4 printeri, iespējams sagatavot liela izmēra rasējumus. Programma spēj arī saglabāt rasējumus kā DXF vai DWG datnes. Saglabātos rasējumus tad var ielādēt citā programmatūrā, piemēram, AutoCAD.

Tabulas ar aprēķina rezultātiem var izdrukāt vai eksportēt uz citām lietojumprogrammām, kas darbojas Windows vidē (piemēram, izklājlapās, tekstapstrādes programmā utt.).

Designers can draw heating systems using information about walls, windows and rooms, imported directly from Audytor HL software, or drawn in Audytor CH software.

The concepts of data inheritance and default data, as well as application of variables make the process of entering data on heating systems fast and flexible. Parameters of equipment are stored in tables, that enable easy and fast modification of one, several, or even all components of heating systems.

The ability to design several systems in one project in order to design the entire system for the building at the same time.

Program Audytor H2O enables to design very large water supply systems (even thousands of accessories and draw-off points).

Designers can create many heating systems in one project, or even in a single drawing. Heating systems alone can include even several thousands of radiator components.

The software selects diameters of pipes and insulation of pipes, presets of accessories, dimensions of radiators, flat stations, low loss headers, heat buffers, pumps, pump groups and many other components of heating systems.

Program is equipped with a highly efficient analysis algorithm of graph installations and efficient algorithms of selection of pipes, fittings and accessories, which allow to calculate large installations in in less than a few seconds.

The program without license keys can be used for viewing and printing projects and viewing the results of the selection of installation elements.

Designers can use the editor of labels, creating overview of materials and components of heating systems in order to prepare technical documentation of projects. Diagrams of heating systems can be divided into any number of drawings. Drawings themselves can be exported into the DWG format.
