Where supporting steelwork is in the same plane as the bracing, the variables are dimensions L & H and the bracing angle. By default the angle is locked, allowing L or H to be modified where entry for L modifies H and vice versa. Alternatively L or H may be locked and the angle modified. In this instance a change in angle will impact im pact on the unlocked dimension (L or H). Where supporting steelwork is normal to the plane of bracing, the dimension L is fixed with the bracing aligning aligning with the steelwork centreline centreline (standard XFB01) or at a clearance clearance from the web (standard XFB02).

CHAPTER 12 12 Special Supports

This chapter explains how to create a Special support.

12.1 When is a suppor supportt a special? special? A Special support is one of the following: 

A support that does not conform to any available available framework template shape.



A support that uses a different steelwork size to those available via default creation.

12.2 Crea Creating ting a Specia Speciall Select Special Select Special Support from Support from the Create the Create category category located on the SUPPORTS the SUPPORTS tab. tab. A Special Support is a framework support that has a configuration of steelwork not available in any of the standards available within the Supports module Supports module

The available options to create a special support are. 

Multi Discipline Support



HVAC Support



Racking Support



From Existing Supports

A Special Support can be created in several ways:

12.2.1 12.2. 1 Suppo Support rt Ancillary Ancillary only An ancillary only Special will be created if one of the following types are used initially. 

The HVAC project specials are contained in the HVAC zone of the application data world. The cable tray project specials are contained in the Tray zone of the application data world. When a Project Special is selected the Project Special Template is copied into the existing special support. This speeds up the process of creating a special support with a complicated configuration and can be used repeatedly on a project.

CHAPTER 18 18 Health Check Utility (HCU)

The Supports Supports application application creates supports across four disciplines: disciplines: Structural, Structural, Piping, Electrical Electrical and HVAC, and it is possible that one of the disciplines could inadvertently corrupt a support in some way. The Health Check Utility checks for the existence of any problems. Separate checks are performed for ancillaries, structural supports, hangers and trunnions. Ancillaries which are part of structural supports (For example, pipe shoes) are checked as part of the structural supports, using the ancillary checking method. After the health check is carried out, out , the results r esults can be displayed displa yed on the screen or exported to an excel file. f ile. The checks that are carried out are listed below: 

If any errors are detected the Support is considered to be incomplete and the Support Editor Form Form cannot be closed. Therefore the user is forced to return to the Support Editor form form to rectify the reported errors before being allowed to exit the creation form. Any warnings or messages that compromise the health check of the support should be rectified in order for the support to be considered as complete. However the user has the option in this case to exit the support creation form and return at a later date to modify the support.
