Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
DuctMaterial Material The duct material is the primary material that the duct is composed of (galvanized sheet metal, aluminium) -
InsulationMaterial Material The insulation is the layer of material outside of the duct material, meant to insulate the internal conditions of the material being conveyed. -
LiningMaterial Material The lining is the layer of material inside of the duct material, meant to insulate the internal conditions of the material being conveyed. -
HydraulicDiameter double Hydraulic Diameter allows you to calculate the round equivalent hydraulic diameter for a non-round duct (rectangular/square). -
CircularEquivalentDiameter double CircularEquivalentDiameter is the equivalent size for a duct if it were to be round (for size/capacity comparison). -
SectionProfile SectionProfile The section profile of the object that will determine its use within a System. -
ElementSolidArea double This area takes the element's thickness into account to determine the actual area of the 'solid' portion of the ShapeProfile. -
ElementVoidArea double The interior area within the element's shapeProfile. This corresponds to the actual open area less any material thickness. -
LiningSolidArea double The solid area of the lining within the element. This area takes into account the ElementSolidArea. -
LiningVoidArea double The innermost, open area within the Element and its interior lining. This corresponds to the actual open area of the element. -
InsulationSolidArea double The actual area of the exterior insulation material. -
InsulationVoidArea double The interior area within the Insulation. This should correspond to the element's height and width properties. -
