Primary Area

The primary area of the Fluid Design section provides commands for creating line IDs and creating spools automatically.

These commands are available in addition to the commands from the Piping & Tubing Design and HVAC Design apps.

Specification Driven Assisted Design
Lets you perform all the detailed design, such as placing parts and parametric parts, using only one command based on specifications.
Select a product and click Specification Driven Assisted Design. In the Automatic Design Options dialog box, select the options you want to perform.
See Designing by Specification Driven.
Display Logical Diagram
Displays the logical diagram of the system defined in the context of the Data Information panel.
