Greetings to all,
I've been trying to create family of fan coil units but run in to trouble.
First of all, discharge spigot configuration is variable depending on the unit's duty. I managed to create family types to represent different sizes and parametrically array spigots to get the required number of them - but array allows minimum of two, how to represent unit with only one spigot?
Secondly, the fresh air supply is discharged to the back of the unit but not physically connected with it - how would I need to maintain system integrity from the air handler through fan coil to supply diffuser?
Thirdly, say unit has six spigots but only two of them are used to supply air to diffusers - how to configure connectors on so one won't end up with unassigned systems in the system browser?
How would you guys / girls would go about modelling this kind of equipment and how would you configure connectors - inlet, which is physically not connected but maintain logical connection with fresh air supply and make-up air from ceiling void, and multiple outlets configuration so only certain ones might be used?
Please see attached PDF for typical system configuration for clarity.
Thanks in advance for all your thoughts.
Kyle, do you have any advice?
