This dialog allows you to define vortex valve elements.
The dialog box contains a toolbar, a list pane, and two
tabs. The toolbar contains the following buttons:
New
|
Creates a new entry in the
Vortex Valve List Pane.
|
Delete
|
Deletes the entry that is
currently highlighted in the Vortex Valve List Pane.
|
Duplicate
|
Deletes the entry that is
currently highlighted in the Vortex Valve List Pane.
|
Rename
|
Lets you rename the entry that
is currently highlighted in the Vortex Valve List Pane.
|
Report
|
Lets you generate a
preformatted report that contains the input data associated with the entry that
is currently highlighted in the Vortex Valve List Pane.
|
Synchronize
|
Clicking this button opens a
submenu containing the following commands: Browse Engineering Library --This
command opens the Engineering Library manager dialog, allowing you to browse
the Vortex Valve Library. Synchronize From Library --This command allows you to
update a valve library that was previously imported from a Vortex Valve Library
to reflect changes that have been made to the library since it was imported.
Synchronize To Library --This command allows you to update an existing Vortex
Valve Library using current valve entries that were initially imported but have
since been modified. Import From Library --This command allows you to import
catalog entries from an existing Vortex Valve Library. Export To Library --This
command allows you to export the current catalog entries to an existing Vortex
Valve Library.

To define a vortex valve, highlight it in the list pane,
then enter points in the Head-Flow table of the Head-Flow Curve tab. Click the
New button to add a row to the table, or Delete to remove the currently
highlighted row.
In addition to the Head-Flow Curve tab, the following tabs
are also available:
| Notes Tab
|
This tab contains a text field
that allows you to enter descriptive notes that will be associated with the
valve that is currently highlighted in the Vortex Valve List Pane.
|
| Library Tab
|
This tab displays information
about the valve that is currently highlighted in the Vortex Valve List Pane. If
the valve is derived from an engineering library, the synchronization details
can be found here. If the valve was created manually for this model, the
synchronization details will display the message Orphan (local), indicating
that the valve was not derived from a library entry.
