Review the pressure parts catalog

00:05

This video is going to kick off our discussion of pressure networks,

00:09

just like when we talked about pipe networks and we talked about the part catalog and the parts lists.

00:16

But we have the same thing for pressure networks.

00:18

So, under the Create Design dropdown in the Home tab on the ribbon bar, if you drop it down, you can go to Set Pressure Network Catalog.

00:27

In the Set Pressure Network Catalog window, you have the location of your catalog folder and then your catalog database file.

00:34

So, the catalog folder is located on your computer or on a server somewhere,

00:41

and it contains a list of folders that correlates to your catalog database file.

00:48

So, inside of each of these folders, there is a "dwg" drawing for the part type and an image file of the part type.

00:58

So, you can download additional parts catalogs and have them inserted into this folder,

01:07

where you can define a new catalog folder inside of your Set Pressure Network catalog.

01:12

So, for this drawing, what we're gonna go ahead and do is we're gonna set our pressure network catalog as steel, so Imperial_AWWA_Steel.

01:21

If you were in a metric drawing, your metric catalog database files would show up.

01:27

But we're in an imperial drawing, so we're gonna go ahead and use Imperial Steel.

01:30

And we're gonna go ahead and hit "OK" and then we'll talk about parts lists.
