Audytor SET

The Audytor SET program is designed to graphically support the design and adjustment of central heating installations, cold, hot and circulation water installations as well as central cooling installations in which the medium is water or glycol water.

The Audytor SET program is designed to graphically support the design and adjustment of central heating installations, cold, hot and circulation water installations as well as central cooling installations in which the medium is water or water glycol solution.

A program with a built-in mechanism for importing building bases from Autodesk® Revit® and exporting the installation design to Autodesk® Revit®.

The Audytor SET consists of the following modules:

• Individual modules cooperate with each other and use a common 2D and 3D graphic environment.
• The modules can also work indepedently if it is necessary to design only one system of installation (except for the FC module).
• Each module is activated by a separate license key
• icense keys run individual modules in the Basic or Pro version (except for the FC module - it does not function independently).
• It is possible to run the program using a trial license.
• The FC module extends the possibilities of other modules with additional functions.

In the newest version of program Audytor SET new functions and several enhancements have been implemented to speed up the installation design process.

Main changes:

• Surface systems - a ceiling system and a wall system
• Calculations of resulting cooling efficiency of the installation

The Audytor SET 7.4 program introduced the possibility of designing surface systems - a ceiling system and a wall system. Among the surface systems, we also will find the well-known floor system

Before starting the design of the surface system, the user should declare the parameters related to the radiator's constrution. The constrution data will be automatically inherited directly into the drawning, significantly reducing the data entry time.

After designing the surface installation with heating parameters, the program will determine the resulting cooling power when switched to cooling mode.

These calculations will be performed if the CC module is activated in the general data and if in CH Heat Sorce Tab the Calculate Cooling option is enabled

The program uses the same flow rate of the agent in cooling mode as in the heating system. After performing the calculations, the results can be read both on the drawing – for example, on a tabular label attached to the manifold – and from the general tabular results.

The new Fast Calculation (FC) module in the SET Auditor provides the opportunity for simplified installation design. It also makes it possible to speed up the creation of professional designs

In professional design mode, elements of simplified design can be used to streamline the design process (fast estimation of heat loss in the absence of results from the OZC program, selection of space heating concepts, etc.).

Both the simplified design and the detailed professional design are saved in the same file, which facilitates further work with the project.

This function enables calculation of the value of room thermal load in a simplified manner based on a few basic parameters.

Thanks to this function, the designer can select the appropriate method of heating the room and get an idea of the type of heating equipment to be used in the room.

The surface layout suggested by the program can be inserted into the floor plan drawing.

After selecting the manifold and individual receivers, the program generates simplified connections automatically.

This function makes it possible to perform calculations for a group of underfloor radiators during the design process, before the complete calculation of the installation. Thanks to this, it is possible to quickly test the response of the calculation results to individual data (e.g. supply temperature, heating floor structure, diameter of the pipes, spacing of pipes, division into several circuits, etc.).

The function of quick selection of underfloor radiators allows to determine:

• possible supply temperature range for individual radiators 
• maximum supply temperature for the indicated group of radiators 
• proposed division of coils in order to meet the criteria of maximum hydraulic resistance and maximum length   
• proposed division of coils in order to reduce the differences in resistance between coils and to facilitate hydraulic balancing of the installation.

The program has expanded the possibilities of automatic drawing of floor heating coils. Currently, the user can choose one of the following ways to create a given coil:

• spiral with clockwise direction
• spiral with counter-clockwise direction
• meander coil.

Besides, the user can edit (correct) the coil shape created by the program.

The graphic design has been changed in the program - both in terms of the graphic style and window organization. Thanks to this, they have become even more transparent 

The automatic coil pipe generation mechanism has been extended with a function that allows determining the effective heating surface of a floor heater. The coil system can occupy the surface of the entire heater or "bypass" the manifold and connecting pipes of other heaters. It is also possible to designate zones to turn off part of the heating zone without having to change the shape of the heater itself.

Tools for quickly dividing and connecting polygons that define hotplates. One field can be divided into two or three equal fields - horizontally or vertically, respectively. The user can also indicate a dividing line using a broken line. At the same time, the option of combining several cooking zones into one has been introduced.

These functions are especially useful when designing underfloor heating, but can be used for sharing
and joining other polygons (e.g. room zones).

The program allows you to choose the direction of drawing the spiral coil clockwise or counterclockwise.

If the automatic coil generated option is switched off, the program displays auxiliary lines supporting manual drawing of lines. The lines are drawn with a given spacing taking into account the spacing in the peripheral zone.

The function of automatic insertion of a heating zone in the room zone (so-called insertion around the cursor).

The heating zones before connecting to the pipes are displayed in less intense colors, thanks to which it is very easy to know which fields still need to be connected.

Extended range of mixing group schemes with the possibility of local mixing at the manifold.

It is possible to insert a fragment of another drawing in the drawing. This significantly increases the possibility of creating clear technical documentation.

Display of walls with filling - gray for external walls and yellow for internal walls. This improves the readability of created drawings.

The selective selection function allows you to indicate what elements of the drawings are to be marked (e.g. rooms, pipes, fittings, etc.).

This function is useful when, for example, the user would like to duplicate selected elements from the indicated area to the next floor.

The functions Leave selected lines and Leave unselected lines allow you to narrow the range of selected objects. After selecting a number of elements in the drawing window, you can then remove from the selection the items indicated in the table or just leave those items.

This function enables precise moving of objects. The user defines the displacement vector, i.e. specifies the start and end points.

This function, combined with the Magnifier tool, enables very precise moving of objects. It is very useful, in the case of matching architectural objects on different floors. Just enable the display of the previous floor and then indicate the corresponding points on the architectural plans of two floors.

Expanding the possibilities of displaying (drawing) the previous floor.

Currently, elements of the previous storey or the next storey can be displayed, or both. This facilitates adjusting architectural projection positions and location of installation risers.

This option allows you to change the thickness of the walls when drawing them:
– CTRL + left square bracket - reducing the wall thickness,
– CTRL + right square bracket - increasing wall thickness.

The same effect can be achieved by pressing the CTRL key while holding the mouse wheel. This function allows easy adjustment of the wall thickness to the loaded building foundation (planview).

The ability to export to Microsoft Excel not only individual tables, but also all tables and diagnostics at once. This significantly reduces exporting time if you need to save a number of tables.

The program has been equipped with the latest cooperation module with DWG and DXF files.

It allows among others:

• Loading DXF and DWG drawings in the newest versions.
• UNICODE text support for most characters to be displayed correctly.
• Export of drawings in the following formats: DWG, DXF, PDF, SVG, CGM, HPHL, SWF.
• Significantly faster display of complex drawings thanks to the simplified paint function.
• A more realistic export of drawings to DXF and DWG files.
• Saving raster drawings in DXF and DWG files.
• More convenient management of drawing layers

The function allows you to export the installation project to a file that can later be loaded into Autodesk® Revit® using the Audytor SET plugin for Revit.

The function allows you to export from the data and export from the results. Export from data allows you to save even an incomplete installation project (not recalculating), for example, the arrangement of the water risers, or the layout of the radiators. Export from results allows us to use technical data of selected pipes and devices in Autodesk® Revit®, eg pipe diameters, valve settings, radiator sizes, and pipe spacing in underfloor heating. In addition, physical quantities are available, such as the medium speed, the power of the radiator, and pressure losses.

• Possibility to import building bases from Autodesk® Revit® via a gbXML file, 
• Possibility to export data about the designed installation to Autodesk® Revit®..

A significant part of the parameters introduced at the beginning of defining the building are typical data for the entire building (the so-called default data). When entering general data, the user can define for each device default catalog symbol. This symbol is automatically assigned to each device in the drawing. The previously defined default catalog symbol can be changed at any time, also after inserting the device into the drawing. Changing the symbol of a device in the general data will change the symbols of all devices of a given type, unless the symbol has been “firmly” entered for a given device.

The data is edited in the table, which allows you to specify parameters for many drawing elements simultaneously. Linking the drawing to the table makes the element edited in the table highlighted in the diagram.

The data inheritance system allows you to:

• significant time savings at the data entry stage (without the need to repeatedly enter repeated data),
• very quick change of data in case of a change in design assumptions or creating variant projects.

• Import and export of drawings in DWG format
• The function of organizing the zones of risers in the development
• Data file backup system
• A mechanism that automatically generates an axonometric scheme of the designed installation
• Ability to display installation pipes with actual diameters
• Mechanism of intelligent duplication of installation elements
• The function of arranging labels on several storeys at the same time (in plan views and axonometry drawings) and a mechanism for duplicating labels on adjacent storeys
• Improving the drawing of sewage installations.
• A system of keyboard shortcuts to assign simple button combinations to the most used drawing tools.
• Improvements in editing drawing layer properties.
• Improvements in displaying information about the circulation by a given heater / receiver.

• Each inputted component is equipped with the validation and support system that allows to obtain information about the values or evokes the relevant catalogue, as well as test of data.

• While entering data the program checks its correctness on an ongoing basis. This allows a significant reduction in the number of errors. During the calculation process, complete data validation takes place. As the result of that the list of errors, warnings and hints is created. The list includes the information about the significance levels and the place of the problems.

• After the calculations, program analyses the obtained results. The analogue list of messages is created. Extensive system diagnostics enables the designer to fully assess the quality of the design. The program is equipped with a mechanism for quick search of where the error occurred (automatic finding a table, a row and a column with wrong data and faulty component is indicated in the drawing).

Skaičiavimų rezultatų vaizdavimo aukštų planuose galimybė leidžia sukurti pilną grafinę sistemos dokumentaciją. Dažnai po projektu reikia įkelti projekto paveikslėlį. Paveikslėlius galima įkelti importuojant paveiksliuko failą, skenuojant paveiksliuką arba įklijuojant iš kopijavimo atminties. Įkeltą paveikslėlį dažnai reikia suderinti su esamu projektu (palyginti, apkirpti, pakoreguoti ir pan.).

Techniniai brėžiniai (pvz. sluoksniai) šiais laikais beveik visuomet kuriami kompiuterių pagalba. Tuomet juos galima išsaugoti atitinkamo formato failuose. Vektoriniai failų formatai (pvz. DWG, DXF, WMF, EMF) yra dažniausiai brėžiniams naudojami ir tinkamiausi formatai. Paveikslėlių failus taip pat galima sukurti naudojantis skeneriu, tuomet dažniausiai sukuriamas rastrinio formato failas (BMP, JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, GIF, ICO, PNG).

Įprastai įkeliant paveikslėlį būtina paveikslėlio įkėlimo dialogo lange įvesti atitinkamą informaciją. Įkeltą paveikslėlį dažnai reikia suderinti su esamu projektu (palyginti, apkirpti, pakoreguoti ir pan.). Galima pasirinkti skenuoto paveikslėlio raišką ir kokybę, bei išsaugoti skenuotus dokumentus pasirinktu grafiniu formatu. Programa suderinta su TWAIN skenerių specifikacijas atitinkančiais skeneriais.

Norint sukurti sistemos projektą, būtinas brėžinys su pažymėtomis patalpų zonomis. Projektuotojas gali braižyti patalpų zonas rankiniu būdu arba įkelti jas kartu su plano vaizdais iš šilumos apkrovos programos (OZC 6.5). Jei OZC 6.5 buvo sukurtas trimatis pastato modelis, plano vaizdai su šilumos apkrovos rezultatais bus importuoti į programą CH. Pastatas, įvestas į lentelę, bus įkeltas kaip patalpų sąrašas su apskaičiuotais rezultatais.

Patogiausia dirbti panaudojant visą abiejų programų, PZC 6.5 ir CH 4.0, potencialą:

1. įkeliant pastato planą iš failų, pvz., DWG, DXF, WMF ir t. t., į programą OZC 6.5;

2. programoje OZC 6.5 nubraižant trimatį pastato modelį ir atliekant šiluminius skaičiavimus;

3. perkeliant rezultatus iš programos OZC 6.5 į programą CH 4.0 (šilumos apkrovos ir aukšto plano vaizdus);

4. braižant sistemą programinėje įrangoje OZC 6.5 ir atliekant skaičiavimus.

Sistemos projektas gali būti atliekamas kaip schema, plano vaizdai arba iš dalies kaip schema, iš dalies kaip plano vaizdai.
Jei sistema braižoma kaip plano vaizdai, programa automatiškai sukuria paprastą schemą, kuri sujungia visus plano vaizdus.

The program has a mechanism that automatically creates a set of project backups (up to 8 files).

Data files are backed up every time data is saved, with the new files overwriting the older files so that at least one copy of the file from each stage of the project work is always kept.

This function will allow you to recover the project file even if its last versions are overwritten or damaged.

In the drawing of the automatically created installation diagrams, the Organize button that has been added, enables the intelligent positioning of the zones of risers based on the data from the storey's plan views.

The program maintains the order of the risers within individual installation systems (CH, CC and H2O).

The function is particularly useful for large projects, significantly reducing the time needed to manually move the risers' zones.

The parameters of the organizing function can be modified.

Each inputted component is equipped with the validation and support system that allows to obtain information about the values or evokes the relevant catalogue, as well as test of data.

While entering data the program checks its correctness on an ongoing basis. This allows a significant reduction in the number of errors.

Skaičiavimo rezultatas pateikiamas tiek grafiškai, tiek lentelėje (7 pav.). Kiekvieno sistemos komponento formatavimo etiketės gali būti laisvai keičiamos (rodomų verčių ir etikečių stiliaus išvaizda).

Lentelių formatas (pasirinktų skilčių ir eilučių išvaizda, šrifto dydis) gali būti keičiamas ir rūšiuojamas pagal bet kokį raktą.
Lentelėse pateikiami bendri rezultatai ir išsamūs kiekvieno įrenginio, grandinės bei medžiagų ir tvirtinimo elementų sąrašo rezultatai.
Kai brėžinys pateikiamas su rezultatais, taip pat matomos ir etiketės su konkrečiais nurodyti įrenginio duomenimis. Visa etikečių forma gali būti redaguojama. Visi konkretaus elemento rezultatai gali būti pateikiami etiketėje. Galima išsaugoti daug etikečių formatų, kurie vėliau gali būti nedelsiant pakeisti.

Skaičiavimo rezultatai gali būti atspausdinti naudojant braižytuvą arba spausdintuvą. Vartotojas gali pasirinkti brėžinio mastelį ir, naudodamas spaudinio peržiūros funkciją, nustatyti, kaip brėžinys turi būti atspausdintas.

Jei brėžinys netelpa į vieno popieriaus lapą, programa atspausdina jį fragmentais, kurie vėliau gali būti suklijuoti. Todėl, naudojant netgi paprasčiausią A4 spausdintuvą, gali parengti didelius brėžinius. Programa taip pat gali išsaugoti brėžinius DXF arba DWG failuose. Tuomet išsaugoti brėžiniai gali būti įkelti į kitą programinę įrangą, pvz., „AutoCAD“.

Lentelės su skaičiavimų rezultatais gali būti atspausdintos arba išeksportuotos į kitas programas, veikiančias „Windows“ aplinkoje (pvz., skaičiuoklę, teksto redaktorių ir t. t.).

Designers can draw heating systems using information about walls, windows and rooms, imported directly from Audytor HL software, or drawn in Audytor CH software.

The concepts of data inheritance and default data, as well as application of variables make the process of entering data on heating systems fast and flexible. Parameters of equipment are stored in tables, that enable easy and fast modification of one, several, or even all components of heating systems.

The program allows simultaneous input and modification of water supply, heating and cooling installations, which significantly improves the design process.

A common 3D model of all three installations facilitates the analysis of installation collisions occurring in the project.

Designers can create many heating systems in one project, or even in a single drawing. Heating systems alone can include even several thousands of radiator components.

The proprietary (graphic engine enables the design of very large installations containing even several thousand items, receivers and taps.

The software selects diameters of pipes and insulation of pipes, presets of accessories, dimensions of radiators, flat stations, low loss headers, heat buffers, pumps, pump groups and many other components of heating systems.

Program is equipped with a highly efficient analysis algorithm of graph installations and efficient algorithms of selection of pipes, fittings and accessories, which allow to calculate large installations in in less than a few seconds.

Designers can use the editor of labels, creating overview of materials and components of heating systems in order to prepare technical documentation of projects. Diagrams of heating systems can be divided into any number of drawings. Drawings themselves can be exported into the DWG format.
