Place a nozzle ANIMATION

  1. Click Place Nozzle Command on the vertical toolbar.

    SHARED Tip The nozzle is connected to the cursor to identify the placement location.

  2. Select the parent equipment or equipment component to which to add a nozzle. The Nozzle Properties Dialog displays.

    SHARED Tip You can either select the parent in a graphic view, or you can select it in the Workplace Explorer.

  3. On the Occurrence Tab (Nozzle Properties Dialog), select the type of nozzle to place from the Port Type list.

    SHARED Tip If you select the PipePort (No Added Graphic) or HvacPort (No Added Graphic) type, see the Note section following this procedure for information regarding its placement.

  4. In the Value grid, type values for the listed properties.

    • You can use the From catalog button to pre-populate values from predefined catalog nozzles. Values can be overridden after selection of predefined values.

    • You can use the Category list to control the types of properties that display in the dialog.

    • By default, insulation for the nozzle is set the same as the equipment object on which it is placed. If necessary, you can edit insulation properties during initial placement of the nozzle, as well as after it is placed. For more information, see the Insulation and Tracing section on the Occurrence Tab (Nozzle Properties Dialog).

  5. Click the Location Tab (Nozzle Properties Dialog), and select a placement type from the Placement Type list box.

  6. In the Value grid, type the values for the listed properties.

    SHARED Tip These location properties are dimensions relative to the selected parent.

  7. Click OK.

    The Nozzle Properties Dialog closes, and you return to the model with the nozzle placed, unless the Placement Type selected is Position by Plane and Axis or Position by Point. In this case, additional steps are required to place the nozzle in the model.

  • The PipePort (No Added Graphic) or HvacPort (No Added Graphic) port type is a special implementation of a piping straight nozzle that is used to add a nozzle port to an existing graphic. Equipment objects imported with the Place Imported Shape from File command may have a graphic representation of a nozzle, but no nozzle port. The PipePort (No Added Graphic) or HvacPort (No Added Graphic) nozzle type, which has all the standard piping port properties but not the graphics of the piping nozzle, allows you to add a nozzle port (represented as a circular surface) to the existing shape. After selecting PipePort (No Added Graphic) or HvacPort (No Added Graphic), the software prompts you to graphically locate the port in the model by selecting a surface and a cylinder (cone) to define a position and an axis. You can also place PipePort (No Added Graphic) or HvacPort (No Added Graphic) using other placement types.

  • Press the left or right arrow keys to rotate the nozzle by 90-degree increments at any time during the placement of the nozzle. Press the up arrow to scroll through the three possible axes of rotation. Press the down arrow key to scroll to each datum point.
