The execute menu gives access to the various calculation functions of PCC.
Execute Menu
The various menu items lead to:
- 'Pipe Schedule Wizard', this will open a new dialog which will support the calculation of the minimal required schedules per pipe size. For further information see Pipe Schedule Wizard.
- 'Calculate Summary', to calculate the entire pipe class and show the results in the summary window by color codes as set in the project setting. The color codes are set according to the strength used of the component. The most severe result is shown per line in the summary. For example if a component with a size of 2" is used for 52% of its strength and one with a size of 3" for 63%, the component with the highest % will be shown in the summary sheet on that particular line. This function can also be selected by pressing the key <F5> on the keyboard. For further information see Calculate Summary F5.
- 'List of Calculations', to review the main results of all calculations. A new window will be opened with the main result reports per type of component. This report will show only the main results from the detailed calculations and will give a quick overview of the strength used per component size. The report can also be used to prepare the authority approval report. This prevents sending all the detailed calculations per component. This function can also be selected by pressing the key <F6> on the keyboard. For further information see List All Calculations F6.
- 'Calculate Component', to review the detailed calculations per component in a new window. In this window the type of component can be selected and the relevant parameters for the calculations. This function can also be selected by pressing <F7> on the keyboard. For further information see Calculate Component F7.
- 'View Component Data', to open a new window with the component data report. The report will show the main dimensional data of the components which are used in the calculations. This function can also be selected by pressing <F9> on the keyboard. For further information see View Component Data F9.
