Pre-Selection (PE)

Plant Engineering > Settings > Pre-selection

The parts offered for insertion are, depending on the respective pre-setting, determined by:

The sequence is determined by specified priorities.

If you selected Settings > Part insertion and activated the Work with guideline option, you can only access the pre-selection mask if a pipeline is active.

 

As a Nominal diameter (= 50) has been assigned to the pipeline, the corresponding input fields in the mask have already been initialised accordingly. You can now initialise the white input fields with some other values if desired, e.g. you can specify a range of values for the Outer diameter or the Wall thickness. If you do not want to define a range, simply enter a specific value in the left input field - if the right field is empty, the entered value is automatically recognised as the top limit.

No pipe class has been assigned to the active pipeline; otherwise, the Pipe class input area would be greyed out. Here you still need to select a pipe class; to do this, simply click Pipe class.

If the specified values are plausible, the specifications are taken over when you click OK. HiCAD then displays the Pipe Class Management mask thus enabling you to select the required pipe class.

 

When you have selected the pipe class, the dialogue box below will be displayed when you call the option again:

Please note that the pipe class that has been set in this way will not be automatically permanently assigned to the active pipeline in the process!
