A system diagram is a system scheme which can be simulated through the settings available in the dialogue boxes of the single components associated with other project data such as location and consumer. A project may include any number of system diagrams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create New System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This function (available only in the Designer version) allows the user to create an altogether new system diagram starting from a completely empty page. For further details see chapter Working with the Designer<\/a><\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Template to Project<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To add a template to a project select the desired template directly from the template collection shown in the bottom left corner. After naming the system diagram and confirming with OK the template becomes a new system diagram, i.e. is linked to other specific data projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rename System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To do so select the system diagram that is to be re-named. Then two options are provided:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Click on \u201cRename system diagram\u201d in the System diagram menu;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Right-click on system diagram name and select \u201cRename system diagram\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In both cases enter new name and confirm with OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Copy System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    To do so select the system diagram that is to be copied. Then two options are provided:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Click on \u201cCopy system diagram\u201d in the System diagram menu;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Right-click on system diagram name and select \u201cCopy system diagram\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      In both cases enter name of copy and confirm with OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Tip: if two systems only differing in one or two settings are to be compared to one another you may want to create first a new system diagram, copy it and finally only change the desired settings in the copy. Simulation results can be thus compared meaningfully being ensured that all remaining settings are equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Delete System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      To do so select the system diagram that is to be deleted. Then two options are provided:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Click on \u201cDelete system diagram\u201d in the System diagram menu;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Right-click on system diagram name and select \u201cDelete system diagram\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        In both cases confirm with Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        System Diagram as Reference<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        A system diagram should be set as a reference if two system diagrams are to be compared to one another in a diagram. Proceed as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Select and copy a system diagram.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Make changes in the component dialogue boxes of the new system diagram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Set a system diagram as a reference. To do so select the system diagram that is to be set as a reference. Then two options are provided:\n
              \n
            • Click on \u201cSystem diagram as reference\u201d in the System diagram menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Right-click on system diagram name and select \u201cSystem diagram as reference\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • In the Result menu call-up the Result overview for the original blue-marked system diagram. The system diagram is simulated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Simulate the reference system diagram. Confirm the related message with OK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The Result overview will be displayed together with two data sheets. Some of the callable diagrams show both systems in comparison with one another.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Tip: it is always advisable that the more energetically unfavourable system diagram be set as a reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The reference system diagram may be restored to a normal system diagram either by clicking again on System diagram as reference or selecting a different system diagram as a reference. In a project only one system diagram may be set as a reference at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Comment on the System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                Here the user will be able to enter and confirm with OK a comment on the system diagram. This comment will be shown on the Project overview page and in the PDF-Reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Save System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                The image of the system diagram referring to the selected system diagram can be saved as a *.png file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Print System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                The system diagram referring to the selected system diagram can be shown as a PDF file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Zoom System Diagram<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                The system diagram of the selected system diagram may be zoomed in or out. You may want to zoom in on the system diagram in case of systems consisting of a large number of components as basic settings will not allow them to be completely shown on screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Tip<\/strong>: hold the Ctrl button pressed and roll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19748,"featured_media":0,"parent":117550,"menu_order":44,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-117553","handbuch","type-handbuch","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSystem Diagram -
