Part 2 -Configuration

What

The configuration defines the cross section of a trench. In the installation there is supplied standard cross sections. These can be used as base and can be changed as desired.

In the configuration window there is seven icons to choose from:

• Trench cross section – Establish trench cross section
• Pipes – Create new pipes and define pipe material
• Connection – Create new connection and define connection material
• Save – Save active trench cross section
• Import… - Import existing trench cross section from your computer
• Save as… - Save active trench cross section to desired folder
• Settings...

Where

The configuration window can be opened in the WS-module.

How

1. The first time you open the configuration for a task, you get three options:
   *Copy default configuration to choose from trenches that follow the installation
   *Select configuration to copy from previously saved configurations
   *Copy from a WS task gives the opportunity to choose from earlier tasks
2. Make a new trench cross section or copy a relevant trench cross section
3. Change the name in the name bar in properties
4. Edit pipes and connections:

Pipes

• Edit material, geometry and dimensions of pipes
• Create more pipes you can add to your trench cross section
• Create material you can add to your pipe in the material tab

Connections

• Edit material, geometry and dimensions of connections
• Create more connections you can add to your trench cross section
• Create material you can add to your connections in the material tab

Trench cross section

• Changes done in the trench cross section is shown in the graphic
• Go to properties to do changes to the trench cross section
  • Define pipes and position
  • Add or delete pipes
  • The first pipe becomes reference pipe. The other pipes will adjust in relation to the reference pipe
  • If you do not find the correct pipe, define a new pipe in the pipes tab
• Open trench geometry to edit the cross section
  • Edit the geometry of the trench cross section
  • Here is a matrix for foundation thickness in different ground conditions
• Open connection to edit connections
  • Define first and last connection
  • Define connection vertexes
  • Define: connection type, material, dimension, geometry, height and cover
  • If you do not find the correct connection, define a new connection in the connections tab
