Specifying ductwork size to conduct an analysis

Does anyone know of a way in which to specify ductwork sizing within the system builder.

I have been tasked with analyzing an all ready existing system. I have floor plans etc so can create the building etc. The only thing I cannot do is set the ductwork to the dimensions specified by the HVAC contractor, who has done an on site recce in lieu of me. 

All i have managed to do is draw the ducts as per the recce report, and i have sized the system accordingly to the details I have been given, but the ductwork sizes are different. Can I manually change the system sized ductwork?

Thanks,

Duncan

  • Hi Duncan,

    Firstly- is there any particular reason you are using System Builder? This has been unsupported for quite some time. For duct and pipe sizing we would recommend using Netsys.

    In relation to your query - yes you can indeed accomplish this, but it is via each duct rather than the System marker. To do so, select the below option, and then select the duct you wish to change:
