Tutorial 4 - Sub-Zones
Detect3D allows users to add several zones in one project. Each zone can be further divided into multiple sub-zone regions.
A sub-zone is a smaller zone region defined within a larger parent zone with its own risk grade and coverage statistics. In Detect3D coverage statistics are calculated for each zone type and risk grade. A special type of sub-zone called a Null Zone can also be defined to remove volumes deemed not needed in the coverage analysis.
Briefly mentioned in earlier tutorials, each zone and sub-zone in Detect3D has a risk grade associated with it. These risk grades can be edited to facilitate difference performance standards. For a more detailed explanation on Risk Grades, please refer to Tutorial 5.
In this tutorial you will learn how to:
-
Add a sub-zone to a project
-
Add a null-zone to a project
-
Use the equipment selection tool
-
Importing flame detectors from excel
-
View coverage results based on defined sub-zones and assigned risk grades
