Overview of the Supports Application

The Supports application allows you to create standard supports for pipework, cable trays, (both piping based cable trays (BRAN) and cable trays (CTRAY) created by the cabling system) and HVAC. The application is highly interactive, enabling you to design supports with the minimum of effort. It is also highly configurable allowing the administrator to define project-related defaults to control the design of supports and to determine the range and types of ancillary support components that can be used on the project.

The standard supports in this application, which are designed using structural sections, are template-driven. A default set of structural templates based on British Standard Steelwork Sections is supplied with the application. All of these templates can be configured to suit the needs of an office or project to adopt a relevant national standard for steelwork sections.
