Welcome to the 3rd Session of Basic Training in AutoSPRINK

In this 3rd Session and accompanying Example Project we will be exploring additional ldquoBasicrdquo Tools used in similar

ways and the ldquoProduction Plantrdquo Project

This Project will differ in that we will not necessarily ldquoconstructrdquo the Building but rather ldquoimportrdquo the DWG File an

only ldquoconstructrdquo what is necessary for the creation of the System We will also use this particular Project to further

explore additional Tools Hydraulic Calculations and Plotting

With Designers using AutoSPRINK all over the Globe the needs of one Designer may not necessarily be those of

another Designer operating in another part of the World It is with this in mind that these example ldquoExercises and

Projectsrdquo have been developed It is our intent to explore various ldquoDesign Pathsrdquo that will lead to the same results

but will allow Designers ndash no matter where they may operate ndash discover the most practical Actions Commands

Functions and Toolsets that will best benefit their needs

But once again keep in mind that these Session Modules will repeat certain procedures utilizing varying

Commands Functions or Tools This repetition will increase the familiarity with the Toolsets and also increase the

ability to approach Projects in a way that is most practical and efficient for that specific Project

Remember this is not a ldquoTestrdquo nor a ldquoTimedrdquo Project or Exercise Do not try to push through in a hurry Rather takethe time to read the material and if you have an issue with a particular portion of the Exercise or Project inform

your Instructor They are there to help you and will gladly take the time to answer your questions or concerns

We at MEPCAD pride ourselves on our Customer Service and we will always endeavor to help you as best we can

So with that in mind let us proceed to Session No 3

The Benchmark Icon

Red ldquoWarningrdquo

Rotation Altered to 45 dg

Altered Axis

With our Warehouse amp Office project behind us it is now time to explore the use of the Benchmark more deeply

In our Example Exercises and Project we have used the Benchmark as

bull An Axis of Rotation Center Point

bull A Reference Point for the Mirror Tool

bull Finish Floor Elevation

bull A Reference for the Copy Tool

bull A Location Reference (Lower Left Corner) for the View Section Tool

bull A Starting Point for Automatic Couplings

bull A Start End Point for many other Actions Commands Functions and Tools

This characterizes some of the purposes of the Benchmark however we have yet to demonstrate the truly powerful

ways this Tool can be used in the Design Process

Access the Benchmark Properties and revise the Rotation to ldquo45 dgrdquo

With the Benchmark Rotation altered the Axis Indicators will now indicate the new Direction of the positive ldquoXrdquo andldquoYrdquo Axis This will relate directly to any values entered into the Input Line or manually Created Piping Lines Elemen

Locations etc The Axis of the entire Drawing has been altered

The Benchmark itself will reflect this with a Red Circle around the Benchmark indicating it is no longer functioning

the Default ldquoX Yrdquo Axis direction If a Designer has inadvertently changed the Axis this ldquowarningrsquo will be in effect

An ldquoAlteredrdquo Benchmark can be ldquoSavedrdquo into a Custom Folder created in the ldquoDetailsrdquo Tab of the Parts Tree There

only be (1) Benchmark in a Drawing If a different Benchmark is brought into the Drawing Space the Benchmark in

the Drawing is immediately replaced by the new Benchmark

This allows the Designer great flexibility in that they can have a ldquoLibraryrdquo of altered Benchmarks with differing

Elevations Rotations Styles Colors etc and bring them into the Drawing as needed Rather than alter the Properti

of the Benchmark every time a change is needed simply access the Folder created and Drag in the new Benchma

Access the ldquoDetailsrdquo Tab in the Parts Tree Expand the AutoSPRINK 12 Folder Right-Click the AutoSPRINK 12 Folde

and Select ldquoNew Folderrdquo Name the Folder ldquoCustomrdquo Hit ldquoOKrdquo

Now ldquoDragrdquo the Altered Benchmark into the Folder Name it ldquoBM 45rdquo Return to the Drawing and revise the Propert

of the Benchmark back to ldquo0rdquo Rotation Drag this Benchmark to the Folder Name it ldquoBM 0rdquo You now have (2) ldquoSav

Benchmarks that will alter the Axis of the Drawing ready to use at any time

This same functionality holds true to ALL Elements that are created Beams Sprinklers Fittings Details Notes eve

an entire System can ALL be customized by the Designer and Saved to a Folder In This way a Designer can amas

huge custom Library of Elements to be at will indefinitely

Polyline Shortcut Icon

Polyline Continuous Command Octagon Complete and Split

Split All Shortcut Icon

Columns placed on Octagon Roof Plane placed on Columns

Rotator Tool at 45 dg Increment

Exercise No 2 Creating an Octagon Building and System

In this next example Exercise we will be using the Benchmark Tool Copy Rotate etc in order to create an Octagon

with Roof Planes However rather than Walls we will be using ldquoColumnsrdquo to indicate our Roof Planes

1 Set up the ldquoOctagonrdquo

Access the ldquoPolylinerdquo Shortcut Icon on the ldquoDrawrdquo Toolbar This is a Continuous Command Draw a ldquo50rsquo-0rdquo Octagon

utilizing the Arrows and Input Line Note to obtain a 45 dg Angle utilizing the Arrows Tap (2) keys at once ie to obt

45 North-East Tap the ldquoUprdquo and ldquoRightrdquo Arrows simuoltaneously

After completing the Octagon draw a Single Line Segment (from the ldquoDraw Toolbar) from Point to opposite Point o

the Octagon creating a slice of ldquopierdquo look to the Octagon

Highlight the ldquoPolylinerdquo and ldquoSplitrdquo by accessing the ldquoSplit Allrdquo Shortcut Icon on the ldquoActionsrdquo Toolbar Now Iso-View

the Drawing with the Mouse Gesture and we will now create ldquoColumnsrdquo around the Octagon in order to create ourRoof Planes

Right-Click in Space and Access the ldquoTools Columnrdquo Command - this is again a Continuous Command Snap

Columns to the Main Point Locations around the Octagon including (1) additional Column in the West Line Segme

and (1) directly in the Center Point

Multi-Select and access the Columns Properties on the Perimeter Revise the Height to ldquo12rsquo-0rdquo At the Center Colum

revise Height to ldquo20rsquo-4rdquo Right-Click in Space and access the ldquoTools Roof Planerdquo Command Snap to the Tops of a

Column on the Perimeter then the adjacent Column then the Center Column Right-Click to end the Command

The Benchmark should be located on the Top of the Center Column Highlight the Roof Plane and access the ldquoRota

Toolrdquo Revise the Rotation Factor to ldquo45rdquo and while HOLDING the (Ctrl) Key engage the ldquoIncrement Z negrdquo Rotation

This will ldquoCopyrdquo the Roof Plane in a 45 degree increment Continue to Copy the Roof Plane around the Octagon



983120983137983143983141 983092

Main Snap to Columns and Repositioned Break Element against Target

Main on Interior of Octagon Place Sprinkler with Offset Select Line Segment ndash Angle Shown

Using the ldquoRotator Toolrdquo allowed us to Copy Rotate an Element around the Central Benchmark Axis We could hav

accomplished the same results when drawing our Octagon placing the Columns the Line Segments etc Again we

are exploring differing Tools utilized in differing ways

2 Set up the ldquoOctagonrdquo System Piping

With the Octagon complete with Roof Planes we will now create a ldquo4rdquo Main 2rsquo-0 from IFOW along the inside

Perimeter of the Octagon Top View the Drawing and De-activate the Roof Plane Layer Middle-Click and select ldquo4rdquo

Pipe Snap to the North-West Column and HOLDING the (Shift) Key Snap to the North-East Column Right-Click to e

the Command Now relocate the Main ldquo2-0rdquo to the South of the Exterior ldquoWallrdquo

Select the Main First then the Line Segment on the North-East side of the Octagon Access the ldquoCommands BreaElements against Targetrdquo Command The Piping is now ldquobrokenrdquo at the Segment Line Delete the unused portion a

repeat for the opposite side of Pipe

Elevate the Main to the Roof Plane with a ldquo2rsquo-0rdquo Offset and complete the Main around the interior of the Octagon

Place Fittings on the Main using ldquoAuto Draw Fittingsrdquo

Access the ldquoSprinklerrdquo Shortcut Icon on the ldquoSystemrdquo Toolbar and Revise the Sprinkler to an Ord Hazard frac12rdquo 56 k

200 dg Brass Upright Ensure that the Sprinkler Offset Selected is ldquoOffset the Sprinkler from the Point Enteredrdquo En

a Value of ldquo6rsquo-6 - 6rsquo-6rdquo and Hit ldquoOKrdquo

Snap a Sprinkler to the West Central Point and it will locate ldquo6-6rdquo ldquodown and overrdquo from the Point entered Now Co

the Sprinkler ldquo12rsquo-6rdquo Down (4) Times Right-Click to Exit Command

Select the Line Segment running from the West-Central to the EastndashLower Central Observe the Status Line It refle

the Elevation Length and the ANGLE of the Line Segment (225 dg)

This Status Line is a very useful Tool for more than just checking the Length of a Pipe Elevations Slopes and Angl

can all be ascertained quickly and easily with the Status Line



983120983137983143983141 983093

Alter Benchmark ldquoXrdquo Axis utilizing the ldquoXrdquo Grip

to align with Line Segment Angle


to align with Column Slope

This can especially useful if the Designer must work with many different Angles or Slopes on a Project AutoSPRIN

will allow a Designer to alter the Axis of his Drawing (utilizing the Benchmark) as well as the Rotate the complete

Drawing Space itself if desired

We can now change the Axis of our Drawing based on the Benchmark Properties Note The benchmark itself cont

ldquoGripsrdquo with which to change the Axis of the Benchmark to a desired Angle as in an Imported Dwg File

Relocate the Benchmark (F2) to The West-Lower Central Point With the Benchmark Highlighted Select the ldquoXrdquo Axi

Indicator ldquoGriprdquo and while holding Snap to the Center Point of the Octagon We have now changed the ldquoXrdquo Axis to

match the Angle of the Line Segment Note This type of Action must be utilized with the ldquoXrdquo Axis Indicator OnlyWe can now also ldquoSaverdquo this Benchmark to our Custom Folder for later use in the Project if needed

For Example with the Axis of the Drawing altered create additional Piping The Piping Drawn will now reflect the

change in the Drawing Axis

In the same manner we can change the ldquoSloperdquo of the Drawing Axis as well Reactivate the ldquoPolygon Columnrdquo Laye

We placed an additional Column at the West Center Point of the Line Segment for this purpose Iso-View the Draw

and Relocate the Benchmark to the Top of the Column Select the ldquoXrdquo Axis Indicator Grip and Snap to the Top of thCentral Column We have now altered the SLOPE of the Drawing Axis Any Elements Drawn will now have that degr

of Slope

This can be especially useful when having to create Piping that must circumvent obstacles on the Slope or adding

additional Armovers Routes etc as needed to a Sloped Branch Line And again this Benchmark can be Saved to t

Custom Folder for use indefinitely

TASK Create Sprinklers in the West Bay with Branch Lines (per Designer Preference) and Elevate to Roof Plane wi

ldquo0-6rdquo Offset Copy Rotate around the Octagon Once the Branch Lines are in place attach to the Main with Riser

Nipples Place all Fittings as required

Note ldquoper Designer Preferencerdquo simply means use what Actions Commands Functions or Toolsets you prefer Yo

may wish to use an altered Drawing Axis or perhaps not It is based purely on what Tools come to mind and how y

would apply them There is no ldquoRight or Wrongrdquo even though more practical paths may be discovered

Now that we completed the Exercise we will now move on to the ldquoProduction Plantrdquo Project



983120983137983143983141 983094

Import Dialogue Options Box

Import DWG Shortcut Icon

Project No 2 The ldquoProduction Plantrdquo Project

In this particular Project we will NOT be ldquoBuildingrdquo the Project Structures but rather Importing Dwg Files that have

been given to us by the Client Once Imported we will use the ldquo2-Drdquo Drawings to create our ldquo3-Drdquo System

This is common for many of the AutoSPRINK Designers who are given only Dwg Format Files or even just Pdf File

Design from This is in no way a detriment to AutoSPRINK Designers as how we create System(s) remains the sam

no matter the File Format we are using to Design with

So letrsquos Begin

1 Importing the ldquoProduction Plant R1rdquo Dwg File

Prior to importing any Dwg File the Benchmark should always be at lsquoAbsolute Zerorsquo (000) or the plan origin dicta

by the Project Coordinator

Press the (F2) Key (Relocate Benchmark) and in the Input Line type ldquoa0rdquo then hit the (Enter) Key This will place th

Benchmark at the ldquoAbsolute Zerordquo of the Drawing Space Note Remember that the Benchmark will always represe

the Lower Left Corner of the imported File

Access the ldquoFile Import AutoCAD Dwgrdquo Command or the ldquoImport AutoCAD Drawingrdquo Shortcut Icon on the ldquoMain

Toolbar Locate the ldquoProduction Plantrdquo Dwg File in the ldquoAutoSPRINK 12rdquo Folder in the Primary ldquoCrdquo Drive

bull Select the File ndash Info about the File will become visible in

ldquoThumbnailrdquo view etc If not Select the File again

bull Base Units ndash Most AutoCAD Dwg Files will be Imported wi

the Base Units set to ldquoinchrdquo After Import check thedimensions of the Drawing to ensure accuracy

bull Model Space ndash Import with ldquoModel Spacerdquo selected If the

contains ldquoPaper Spacerdquo Elements Import with ldquoPaper Spa

bull Include X-refs Bind X-refs ndash These options are Selected b

Default However if the Drawing has an undo amount of v

large X-refs it may prove more practical to de-select this

option and Import only the pertinent X-refs individually

bull Clean House Re-Scale Symbolsndash This option is also

Selected by Default This will allow AutoSPRINK to elimina

unneeded Elements in the Drawing File and properly Scal

any associated Symbols

bull

Import Layer - This option will allow the Designer to speci

ldquoParent Layerrdquo for the Imported Drawing Layers

For this Project we want to have all the Layers of the File in one ldquoParent Layerrdquo named ldquoBuildingrdquo Select the ldquoNew

Layerrdquo Toggle and Type in ldquoBuildingrdquo for our new Parent Layer Once completed hit ldquoOpenrdquo and the file will begin to

Import

Settingsrdquo File must be active in Drawing

bull Elements ndash Reflects Number of Elements on the Layer

With the Layers now under the Building ldquoParent Layerrdquo and in alphabetical order ldquoTurn Offrdquo all the Layers except th

ldquoGridrdquo ldquoClerestoryrdquo and Mezzaninerdquo Layers These will be the only Layers needed to complete the next step in our

Design Process As in the previous Exercise we will now place ldquoColumnsrdquo at specific locations in our Drawing as a

reference for the Roof Planes

ldquoTurn Offrdquo the ldquoBuilding Columrdquo and ldquoRoof Planerdquo Layers Access the ldquoColumnrdquo Tool and place Columns on the (4)

outermost corners of the Clerestory Place the Roof Planes and Revise the Properties to ldquoWire Framerdquo

As with the ldquoBuildingrdquo Columns and Roof Planes create new Parent Layers for the ldquoClerestoryrdquo Columns and Roof

Planes Note Remember to ldquoDelete Empty Layersrdquo

Repeat this Procedure for the ldquoMezzaninerdquo located in the West end of the Production Plant

With all of the Columns and Roof Planes positioned and on separate Layers we are ready to begin the Design Proc

for the Building

ldquoTurn Offrdquo the Column and Roof Plane Layers and ldquoTurn Onrdquo the Beam Walls Low-Walls and Joists Layers Highlig

the All the Building Background Layers to a single ldquoGray Padlockrdquo using a Single Click in the ldquoAccessrdquo Column This

keep the Elements on those Layers from being Selected but will allow the ldquoSnaprdquo Tools to be utilized upon them

Now we will place our lsquoSupplyrdquo Ball at a specific location in the lsquoRiser Roomrdquo We will implement the ldquoSnap-Offset

Command to enter (3) Coordinates at once into the Input Line and have the Element position itself utilizing ourCursor as a Reference Point

Access the ldquoTools Supplyrdquo Command Position the cursor over the upper Right Inside Face of Wall in the Riser Ro

Do not Left-Click ndash just ldquohoverrdquo at that Intersection

ldquoDrawrdquo Toolbar Configure to ldquoSch 10 2rdquo Pipe Hit ldquoOKrdquo Repeat for the other End of the Main

Note in the ldquoSettings Fabrication Standards Pipesrdquo Tab ensure that the ldquoForce Fittings at Riser Nipple and Bran

Line intersectionsrdquo is Selected This will break the Branch Line at the Riser Nipple rather than creating an outlet on

Branch line unless the Outlet is desired Once Completed Save the Drawing

The Next Step is to create the Hangers Although we have created Hangers in the Previous Session we will use the

ldquoAuto Draw Hangersrdquo Tool to place Hangers throughout the Drawing

Note Just as with the ldquoCoverage Cellrdquo Tool or any ldquoAutordquo or ldquoWizardrdquo Tool they are meant to be a Starting Point on

There may be perhaps instances where they may be perfectly applicable with little or no changes but more often t

not they will require some adaptation after creation The old adage that ldquoIf you can do something in one or two ste

it may be faster than a Wizardrdquo certainly holds true

Select all the Branch Lines in the Main Building and access the ldquoAuto Draw Hangersrdquo Shortcut Icon located on th

ldquoSystemrdquo Toolbar Revise the Properties as shown Once created Repeat this Process for the Clerestory and

Mezzanine Piping

TASK The Mains also need Hangers As per the Previous Exercise configure the ldquoAuto Draw Hangersrdquo Properties to

appropriate Type and apply

Review the Drawing Notice that there are Pipes that will need to be ldquoStretchedrdquo to the next Bar Joist Hangers that

may need to be relocated or deleted and even Sprinklers that may not be spaced per NFPA FM Guidelines Since

this ldquoProjectrdquo is merely an Exercise to demonstrate certain Tools in AutoSPRINK and not for actual Submission to t

AHJ we will forgo the obvious adjustments needed and continue on

Once Completed Save the Drawing

We now have a ldquoSystemrdquo in the Building but we must connect Mains in the Plant Building to the Clerestory Piping

and the Mezzanine Piping

TASK Connect the Mains together (per Designer Preference) utilizing the Tools previously explored such as

bull Get Defaults from Selection

bull Single or Continuous Pipe

bull Elevation Lock

bull Match Elevation

bull Clean-up Intersections

bull Snap Offset

bull Copy Rotate etc

With all of our System Mains connected we will now create the Riser As in our Previous Project Exercise we will

utilize the ldquoDetailsrdquo Tab in the Parts Tree to find a suitable Riser for our Project In this particular Project we will

assume that this building is an ldquoAdd-onrdquo to an existing Facility Therefore we will need a ldquoMulti-Systemrdquo Riser to wh

we can connect

From the ldquoDetailsrdquo Tab Select a ldquo6 inch Dual Riser with Check Valves and FDCrdquo This is a ldquoGroupedrdquo Element Snap

our Supply Ball located in the Riser Room and Rotate so the FDC and Drain are penetrating the North Wall Now

ldquoSplitrdquo the Riser Assembly

We will now connect the 4rdquo Primary Cross Main to the West Riser utilizing the ldquoSwing Jointrdquo Command First Selec

the Primary Main then Select the Top length of the West Riser This will be our ldquoTargetrdquo Access the ldquoSwing jointrdquo

Shortcut Icon located in the ldquoAuto Drawrdquo Fly-Out on the ldquoSystemrdquo Toolbar Leave all options at DefaultThe Riser is now connected to the Primary Main

Note Access the properties of the Main connecting the Riser to the Primary Main AutoSPRINK utilizing ldquoSmart Pi

has automatically created it as a ldquoFeed Mainrdquo

Another especially useful Tool is the ldquoAuto Draw Size Selected Branch Lines and Out-Riggersrdquo Command used to

automatically ldquoSizerdquo the Branch Lines or Out-Riggers according to a User-Defined ldquoSchedulerdquo This is especially usef

trying to minimize the use of larger Piping in the Design or if having to match an existing ldquoScheduled Systemrdquo In t

particular Project we will leave the Grooved Branch Lines at the specified ldquo2rdquo Diameter

ldquoYrdquo Axis upon creation

Locate the (1) pendent in the West Office and (4) in the East Office per Designer Preference However keep in min

that we want to be able to ldquoCatch a Hangerrdquo if needed on any Armovers created

Once Completed Elevate the Pendents to ldquo8rsquo-0rdquo above Finish Floor and deactivate the ldquoShow Sprinkler DimensionsCommand Next is the creation of the Armovers to the Pendent Sprinklers Since in our last Project we utilized ldquoFlex

Dropsrdquo we will instead use the traditional ldquoHard Piperdquo approach in this Project

4 Creating the Underground Piping Plan

For this Project the existing Water Source is from a Water Tank through a Fire Pump and Existing Underground

Piping to which we will connect This entire assembly of Elements will be utilized in our Project

We will now begin the process of creating all of the Existing Plant Water Supply Components starting with ldquoModelin

the 3-D Water Tank Then we will construct the Fire Pump House complete with Beams Walls and appropriate

Layers Next will be the Fire Pump with Bypass Valves Jockey pump Control lines Controllers Test Header etc

Finally we will construct the Underground Piping and all appropriate valves Hydrants etc

Hold onhellip We do not need to do that itrsquos already been created for us in the ldquoDetailsrdquo Tab of the Parts Tree

Access the ldquoPump Roomrdquo Folder than the ldquoAssembliesrdquo Sub-Folder Select the ldquoElectric Pump with Tankrdquo and Dra

into the Drawing

Now with all of the Elements still Highlighted ldquoRotaterdquo the entire Assembly ALL Elements 90 degrees (clockwise)

that the Underground Pipe from the Fire Pump is running from North to South

Check the Elevation of the Underground Piping but keep everything Highlighted

We want all of the Underground Piping to be a minimum of 4rsquo-0 Below Grade Lower the Elevation of the Elements

ensure the Underground Piping is at the desired Elevation ldquo- 4rsquo-0rdquo

3-D Orbit (Ctrl) + Middle-Click - The Fire Pump Room Tank and Underground Valves and Hydrant Examine the

Components and how they are connected and or constructed This is again a Starting Point only The ldquoPre-Builtrdquo

Assemblies that have been created for the Designer in AutoSPRINK are valuable and indispensable We encourageyou to fully explore ALL of the Elements Assemblies Notes and Details etc that are in the ldquoDetailsrdquo Tab

Note Remember we are Designing a Virtual ldquoDigital Representationrdquo of an actual Real-Life System with Elevatio

Pipe and Fittings with Friction Loss and Industry Standard Take-outs Sprinklers that can be configured to any Haza

Hangers that attach to Beams etc Valves will open and close and will affect the Flow of Water or Air in the System

Piping that is not connected properly will not flow This is the intent behind the constant evolution of AutoSPRINK

The Creation of a Program that will enable a Designer to actually ldquoinstallrdquo a 3-D System in a 3-D Space that repres

the Project in great detail and with great accuracy

X-refrsquos

In some instances making these Water Supply Elements (Tank Pump etc) may be better served in the Design

Process as an ldquoX-refrdquo

Note AutoSPRINK is the only Fire Protection Design Software in the Industry that can Hydraulically Calculate throu

an ldquoX-refrdquo

For those who are familiar with AutoCAD etc will already understand the basic principles of the ldquoX-refrdquo is an ldquoExter

Referencerdquo accessing an External File for Items or Images to place in the drawing as a ldquoSymbolrdquo In this way we ca

include Standpipes Fire Pumps with Tanks Existing Systems etc in our Drawings without actually having all of tho

Elements in our Drawing thus freeing up Memory and Resources

With that being said the Designer would create the Existing Water Supply Components for use as an ldquoX-refrdquo and

import it into the current Drawing

First we could create a ldquoNew Drawingrdquo by accessing the lsquoFile New Drawingrdquo Menu or accessing the ldquoNew Drawing

Shortcut Icon on the ldquoMainrdquo Toolbar

After Creating the ldquoX-refrdquo Drawing we would ensure that the Benchmark is located at the Rise-up of the Piping to

connect to the Riser Naming it according to Designer Preference we would Save the Drawing and return to theoriginal Drawing

We could then Right-Click in Space and access the ldquoTools X-ref Add to Drawingrdquo Command This would open th

ldquoInsert External Referencerdquo Dialogue Box

Once we had located the Drawing we would use the ldquoUse Benchmark location in External Drawing as an Insertion

Pointrdquo ndash meaning we would be able to ldquoGrabrdquo the X-ref at the point of the Benchmark location (ie the Rise-up Pip

We could then Snap it to the Riser as we did the ldquoModel Spacerdquo Water Supply Elements

It is the same principal but it will up to the Designer as to whether this format will be more preferable

Layer Control would be an important part of any ldquoModel Spacerdquo Drawings to make Visible Invisible the Undergrou

Piping Valves etc It is again what is more practical for the Designer

We will now Hydraulically Calculate the System utilizing the ldquoStandardrdquo Remote Area (Project No 1) and the ldquoRem

Area Boundaryrdquo for the Piping under the Mezzanine



983120983137983143983141 983090983088

5 Hydraulically Calculating the System

Remember there are (3) basic types of Hydraulic Remote Areas available in AutoSPRINK

bull The ldquoStandardrdquo Remote Area Primarily used for ldquoStandardrdquo Sprinkler Spacing and based on the NFPA 13

Standard ldquoS x Lrdquo etc which can be revised per Hazard Commodities and other criteria

bull The Remote Area ldquoBoundaryrdquo A User-Defined Remote Area allowing the Designer to Snap to differing

locations creating a ldquoBoundaryrdquo which can them be revised per Hazard etc

bull The Remote Area ldquoBoxrdquo A User-Defined Volume Box utilized for Rack Systems specific height requirement

As in our First Project we will be utilizing the ldquoStandardrdquo Remote Area and we will again configure the Remote Are

utilizing the lsquoSettings Default Properties Remote Area Standardrdquo Menu

Access the Default Properties and for this Project we will Revise to

bull Occupancy Classification ndash Revise to ldquoExtra Hazard Group Irdquo

bull Sprinkler Spacing Along Branch Lines ndash ldquo10rsquo-0rdquo

bull Distance Between Branch Lines ndash ldquo10rsquo-0rdquo

bull Angle of Remote Area ndash ldquo0rdquo (Horizontal)

bull Calculation to Determine Number of Branch Lines ndash Default ldquo12 Factorrdquo

bull Draw Cross Hatch No Label

bull Access the ldquoNode Tag Propertiesrdquo and revise to ldquo8 Bold Arielrdquo with Leade

Line Leave all other options at Default

bull In the ldquoGeneral Tabrdquo Revise Color to Black Solid Shaded 65 Transparen

Once Configured Hit ldquoOKrdquo We are now prepared to bring the Standard Remote Area into our DrawingDeactivate all Snap Tools (F3) and access the ldquoRemote Areardquo Shortcut Icon on the ldquoHydraulicsrdquo Toolbar

Place the Remote Area into the System Area near the Center of the Brach Lines

The Hydraulic Reference Nodes with Leader-Lines should be visible showing the pertinent Hydraulic Reference Poi

in the Calculation

Note Remember If No ldquoNodesrdquo are visible and or no Hydraulic results are reflected in the ldquoLiverdquo Analysis Dialogue

Box review the Drawing to ensure that all the Piping has been connected properly NO FITTINGS are required to

Hydraulically Calculate a System with AutoSPRINK

With the Remote Area still Highlighted move around the System and observe the ldquoLive Hydraulic Analysisrdquo Dialogu

that shows the current hydraulic Information Move the Remote Area to the most ldquoleast efficientrdquo part of the System

and release Remember that a ldquo+rdquo indicates that there is more than sufficient PSIGPM for the System Demands

ldquoMinusrdquo indicates that there is insufficient PSIGPM to meet the System Demand

NEW We can also find ldquothe Most Remote Areardquo by setting up a multitude of ldquooverlapping Hydraulic Areasrdquo and the

accessing the ldquoHydraulics Keep most Demanding Hydraulic Areardquo Command AutoSPRINK will Isolate and ldquoKeeprdquo

only the Least Efficient (Most Demanding) Hydraulic Area Now apply the ldquoHydraulics Auto Peakrdquo Command and

AutoSPRINK will locate the ldquoMost Demandingrdquo Area on those particular set of Branch Lines

However it is ALWAYS incumbent upon the Designer to use the proper interpretation and application of the pertin

Codes Standards and Specifications when Hydraulic Calculations are performed AutoSPRINK offers the most

powerful Hydraulic Tools in the Industry but they are merely ldquoToolsrdquo to be used in the hands of the Designer

System Optimizer Shortcut Icon

NEW Now that the System is Flowing and the Hydraulic Analysis reflecting the ldquoPressure Overage or Underagerdquo w

can now access another powerful Hydraulic Tool in Auto SPRINK ldquoThe System Optimizerrdquo

This awesome feature enables the Designer to actually create differing changes to the System without making

changes to the System

If the Elements in the System are ldquolabeledrdquo properly ndash ie a ldquoCross Mainrdquo is a Cross Main a ldquoBranch Linerdquo is a Bran

Line etc ndash then we can make changes to the Size of the Piping as well as the Size of the Sprinklers the Undergrou

Piping etc In the ldquoSystem Optimizerrdquo Tool we can create ldquoSnapshotsrdquo of revisions to the System and only Select th

specific ldquoSnapshotrdquo we want to initiate to change the System

Highlight the Remote Area and access the ldquoSystem Optimizerrdquo Shortcut Icon on the ldquoHydraulicsrdquo Toolbar





As shown above the System currently has a ldquoDeficitrdquo of nearly 25 lbs of Pressure By using the System Optimizer

selectively ldquoincreasingrdquo specific Cross Mains to ldquo6rdquo Diameter the System now has a lsquoSafety Marginrdquo of nearly 2 lbs

Pressure We can now ldquoCreate a Snapshotrdquo of that alternative System change and investigate other alternative

changes creating ldquoSnapshotsrdquo as we do When we are satisfied at the best solution we can apply the changes to th

System utilizing the ldquoApply Changes to the Drawingrdquo Toggle This Tool is invaluable when used properly

Note The Original State of the System is always created as a ldquoSnapshotrdquo upon entering the lsquoSystem Optimizerrdquo It w

always be located at the top of the ldquoSystem Snapshotrdquo Window Simply Select and hit the ldquoRestore Selected

the ldquoHydraulicsrdquo Toolbar This is a Continuous Command Snap to the (4) Corners of the Mezzanine Right-Click to e

the Command The ldquoRemote Areardquo as defined in the Default Properties will appear However upon closer inspectio

you will notice that the Remote Area is picking up the ldquoOverheadrdquo Sprinklers at the Roof as well

In order to eliminate the Sprinklers from the Hydraulic Calculation we can modify the Sprinkler Properties or we c

modify the Remote Area Iso-View the Drawing and determine the Elevation of the Remote Area Boundary It shou

be located at ldquo00rdquo ndash if not access the ldquoFlattenrdquo Shortcut icon on the ldquoActionsrdquo Toolbar Access the Properties of thRemote Area and activate the ldquo3-D Optionsrdquo Toggle In the Options Select the ldquoOperate Sprinkler within a 3-D

Volumerdquo Set the Volume Height to ldquo12rsquo-0rdquo The Remote Area now recognizes (and will Flow) only the Sprinkler in th

User-Defined Volume

Remote Area Boundary Properties



This ldquo3-Drdquo Volume Options exist in the lsquoStandard Remote Areardquo as well and is extremely useful in situations where

ldquoRemote Area Boxrdquo will not quite fit the need of a particular Project

With the Remote Area Boundary in place we can now access the ldquoSystem Optimizerrdquo for that Hydraulic Area as we

desired Again if ldquoNodesrdquo are located atop one another simply access the ldquoHydraulics Node Tags Clean uprdquo Me

This will relocate the Nodes off of one another but not the surrounding Text labels Pipe Fittings etc

Note Remember that the ldquoGriprdquo in the Node is the ONLY way to relocate the Node without it becoming ldquoDetachedrdquo

from the System Hydraulic Reports When relocating a Node always ensure the Leader Lines are on so that you mobserve as to whether or not the Node has still maintained its position

TASK Review the Hydraulic Reports and experiment with the different Formats ndash ie ldquoNFPArdquo ldquoSimplifiedrdquo ldquoStanda

etc Review the Hydraulic Graphs Node Analysis Pipe Analysis and all the other Options presented It is the ONLY

that the Designer can be fully versed in how they want the Reports to be presented

And with that ndash

Congratulations You have completed yet another Exercise and Project And now onto ldquoPlotting and Stock listingrdquo



983120983137983143983141 983089

Welcome to the 3rd Session of Basic Training in AutoSPRINK

In this 3rd Session and accompanying Example Project we will be exploring additional ldquoBasicrdquo Tools used in similar

ways and the ldquoProduction Plantrdquo Project

This Project will differ in that we will not necessarily ldquoconstructrdquo the Building but rather ldquoimportrdquo the DWG File an

only ldquoconstructrdquo what is necessary for the creation of the System We will also use this particular Project to further

explore additional Tools Hydraulic Calculations and Plotting

With Designers using AutoSPRINK all over the Globe the needs of one Designer may not necessarily be those of

another Designer operating in another part of the World It is with this in mind that these example ldquoExercises and

Projectsrdquo have been developed It is our intent to explore various ldquoDesign Pathsrdquo that will lead to the same results

but will allow Designers ndash no matter where they may operate ndash discover the most practical Actions Commands

Functions and Toolsets that will best benefit their needs

But once again keep in mind that these Session Modules will repeat certain procedures utilizing varying

Commands Functions or Tools This repetition will increase the familiarity with the Toolsets and also increase the

ability to approach Projects in a way that is most practical and efficient for that specific Project

Remember this is not a ldquoTestrdquo nor a ldquoTimedrdquo Project or Exercise Do not try to push through in a hurry Rather takethe time to read the material and if you have an issue with a particular portion of the Exercise or Project inform

your Instructor They are there to help you and will gladly take the time to answer your questions or concerns

We at MEPCAD pride ourselves on our Customer Service and we will always endeavor to help you as best we can

So with that in mind let us proceed to Session No 3
