This tab lets you work on the models

Inspiration library

This tab contains different pre-made and working models that you can insert into your model. This way you don’t have to start drawing your models from scratch.

Sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity analysis is used to thoroughly examine the correct dimensions of the system by simultaneously simulating different models, each having a minor difference from the reference.

Pareto

Pareto analysis is used to analyse different concepts or models with each other. The analysation is done by comparing the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of every model.

Heating library

This button contains everything that you need to use for a heating circuit

Cooling library

This button contains everything that you need to use for a cooling circuit

Zones library

This button contains everything that you need to use for drawing the zones of radiators

Control library

This button contains everything that you need to use for drawing the controls of your model

Text library

This button contains everything that you need to use for drawing text labels

No extra information is available.

Select

This is used to select one or multiple items on the drawing canvas.

Two pipe

This is used to draw two pipes (supply and return). This is the kind of pipe that you as a user will mostly use.

Header

This is used to draw a header. This pipe is used in places where one pipe arrives and multiple pipes leave.

Reverse return

The reverse return pipe is used so that the length of the circuit through the supply and return piping to each end unit is essentially the same. Therefore, balancing is almost unnecessary.

Changeover

This pipe can be used in a system where both heating and cooling connections are made through the same pipe.

Three pipe

This piping offers a significant reduction in installation costs and pipework compared with traditional four-pipe systems. Three-pipe systems can provide full heating and/or cooling to any room at any time.

Canvas Link

This is used to draw links between canvasses. This is needed as Hysopt is a 2D -modelling software.

Draw zone

This is used to draw zones which you can assign to the Base circuit ‘Radiator/Convector’. A zone is the equivalent of the room where the radiator/convector is located.

Assign to zone

Can be used to assign a radiator to a zone.

Unassign from zone

This button can be used to unassign a radiator from a zone.

Draw

Lets you draw control lines that are used to connect control base circuits or with base circuits.

Assign to the electric meter box*

This button can be used to assign an electric consumer to an electric meter box.

Unassign from the electric meter box*

This button can be used to unassign an electric consumer from an electric meter box.

Assign to fuel meter box*

This button can be used to assign a fuel consumer to a fuel meter box.

Unassign from the fuel meter box*

This button can be used to unassign a fuel consumer from a fuel meter box.

Insert label

Can be used to create text labels where you can write your comments etc. in.

Insert dynamic label

Can be used to create dynamic labels by clicking base circuits while this button is active.

Production units

These BCs provide power to the circuit and has 1 node were you connect the pipes to.

In-between units

These BC’s makes it possible to add different hydraulic structures which require different calculations to your model. These blocks have 2 nodes where you connect those pipes to.

End units

These BCs consume the power of the circuit and has 1 node to connect pipes to.

Open model explorer

The model explorer is used to open/create new models/folders, import models with tokens and move folders and models.

Save model

This is used to save your model.

Copy model

This opens a pop-up screen where you can give your current model another name and another location. This is the same as a ‘save as' function.

Insert model

This can be used to insert another model in your currently opened model.

Export as…

Exports the model as different file types. The possible file types are: JSON, PDF & DXF. More inforamtion about the export possibilities is found on the page.

System check

'System check' will check the model for hydraulic mistakes and inconsistencies but this will not check the capacities.

Compute design flows

This action calculates the design flows based on the filled in parameters.

Select pipes

This action selects the pipes based on the filled in parameters and filtering criteria.

Optimise components

This action optimises the valves and pumps.

Simulate

This action requires the use of components in the control library to simulate the dynamic behaviour of the system.

Canvas selection and management

Layers

This button can be used to toggle different visualisation layers. For example, the Hysopt user can choose to hide the zones, text, control or floor plans on the active Canvas

Create report

Search

Can be used to search for components in your model.

Operations

Gives a screen of different operations you can use and the shortcuts for these operations.

Model settings

This lets you change the units, diversity standard and many more settings of your current model.

User settings

Lets you change user-specific settings.

Help

Contains a link to the or lets you contact one of our Hysopt experts.

Simulation

Lets you change user simulation-specific parameters on base circuits. This layer is used to parameterise the dynamic behaviour of the installation.

Partial load analysis

Lets you analyse the model in partial load. This layer is mostly used to see valve authorities in partial load.

Sensitivity Analysis

Lets you select certain base circuit settings that you want to change in the sensitivity analysis.
