Select the Check Functions to be Carried Out

The available check functions are organized into class and group categories, simplifying the selection of those most relevant to your current design activities. Each class of checks represents, typically, a main design discipline; for example, Steelwork, Piping, HVAC, Cable Trays and so on.

Each class may have one or more groups associated with it, representing more specific features of the design discipline: Rules & Connections, Steelwork, HVAC, Cabling Application and Hole Management.

First select the required class of checks from the Classes options. This will automatically update the Groups options.

• Rules & Connections: Rule Errors, Connection Errors, Rules Checking and Connections Checking.

• Steelwork: Sections.

• HVAC: Branches, Components, Rectangular Tapers, Branch Connectors, Flexible Ductwork and Implied Tube.

• Cabling App: Checks for Cableways, Checks for Trays and Checks for Penetrations.

• Hole Management: Hole Management PIPE Checks, Hole Management HVAC Checks and Hole Management ATTA Checks.

  Hole Management PIPE Checks	Runs a hole management validation checks for all penetrations on a pipe branch.
  Hole Management HVAC CHecks	Runs a hole management validation checks for all penetrations on a HVAC branch.
  Hole Management ATTA Checks	Checks for orphaned penetration ATTA elements. These are ATTA elements with ATTYPE = PENI that are not referenced by a Hole Management association. These can occur when a pipe containing penetration ATTA elements is copied or when Hole Management data has been deleted without using the Hole Management Delete function. Note: That an ATTA element can appear to be orphaned if the Association elements referencing the ATTA element are not included in the current MDB.
  Note: There are limitations in the hole size test, it is advisable to check for data consistency errors before using these checks otherwise validation failures can be missed.
  These tests compare the current hole parameters with parameters calculated using the hole penetration marker (that is the penetration ATTA) or if there is a penetration component, its AHDI, AHX or AHY parameters.
  For example, where branch component bore has been increased (including the penetration ATTA) then the test will fail if the required hole size is greater than the current hole size.
  Where a penetrating pipe or duct size has been changed but the size of the penetrating ATTA has not changed then a validation error will not be detected. This case should trapped using Data Consistency Checks.
  These tests only report cases where the current hole size is smaller that the required size, If the required hole size is smaller than the current hole size then the test is passed.

Now select the required group of checks from the Groups options. This will automatically update the Checks list to show all individual checks applicable to the chosen class and group.

From the Checks list, select one or more checks that are to be made on the elements in the Check Items list. (Pick an element in the list to select it; pick it again to deselect it.)
