PDS & PEHVAC SET-UP

1) Install PARNU and PEHVAC from the PDS CD. Note: starting with PDS 6.2 the
PEHVAC software is on the PDS CD.

2) Create a HVAC project directory c:\pds\hvac. (If you want to create the project on the server
then do a hard mount to the server and drive where you want to create the project).

3) Change the working directory for PARNU to the project location (c:\pds\hvac or
X:\PDS\models\hvac where X is the mounted server drive).

4) Enter PARNU and create a project. (This will create a new directory using project
name. Suppose you named your project as HV_PROJECT then this will create a
directory X:\PDS\models\hvac\HV_PROJECT)

5) Create & edit the projlist.txt file. This file should be in the same location as the PDS
proj_file. Each time you create a new Pehvac project you need to add an entry in this
file.

FOR PEHVAC 06.03.XX.XX

project node project directory pds project name

hv_project local_machine_name c: \demo\hvac\hv_project pds

demo server x:\PDS\models\hvac pds

6) Copy the envar.txt file (x:\win32app\ingr\pehvac\support\envar.txt) into your project

directory (c:\pds\hvac\hv_project. This file is required for each project ).

7) (OPTIONAL) Copy directory tables from the PEHVAC deliverable to the PDS project
RDB directories. X:\pds\rdb\hvdata. The directories you need to copy are
DBA directory from x:\win32app\parnu\dba
EDEN directory from x:\win32app\pehvac\eden
Support directory from x:\win32app\pehvac\support

8) Edit the envar.txt to point the variables to the desired locations. (Change mynode to
server or client name).
(If you did Step 7 then you will need to change the location of directories as required. If
you did not do step 7 then you can modify the envar.txt file to change the node location
to one of the machines that has Parnu and Pehvac loaded. If you point to a specific
machine for the variables then that machine needs to be ON and the pehvac and parnu
directories should be shared.) It is recommended to store your customized data not in
the product directory. Reloading the Software would delete those files.
Example:
.
# AP_TABLE
# Set to a directory that contains support files specific for PEHVAC.
# It can be moved to utilize NFS
#
AP_TABLE server c:\win32app\ingr\pehvac\tables\
.
.
PHV_REFERENCE server c:\win32app\ingr\pehvac\support\tables\
#
# imperial support tables directory
 #
PHV_IMPERIAL server c:\win32app\ingr\pehvac\support\tables\imperial\

9) Create prj_demo and hrf_demo ORACLE users. The prj_demo schema is used to
maintain designed data. Each project requires its own prj_schema. The hrf_demo
schema is used to store the Reference data. The hrf_demo schema can be used by
different projects. (the Reference database is required to be able to place elements
The Project database is used for reports and necessary if you want to create envelope
files and labels.)
If your Pehvac Project schema does not have the same name as your PDS project (e.g.
prj_demo instead of prj_pds you need to set the following system variable:

PDS_HVAC_SCHEMA_NAME=demo

10) Start Parnu. Pick Database > Create and select the Pehvac project. After the schema is
created pick Pehvac under Applications to load Pehvac tables.

11) Set PEHVAC configure to the directory where the projlist.txt file is located. (Note: the
peh.cmd file can be moved to the same location as the pds.cmd files.

12) Start PARNU. Pick Pehvac under application. Pick project name and OKAY.

13) Select project name from PEHVAC Project Selection Form / OKAY.

14) Select DATABASE > CREATE.

15) Enter data for the hrf_demo schema

16) Enter LOAD/UNLOAD to load your specs.

17) Select LOAD and define under FILENAME the path to the mrg files (specs) you want to
load.
(The default path is defined in the envar.txt step 6:
PHV_IMPERIAL mynode c:\win32app\ingr\pehvac\support\tables\imperial\)

18) Pick SELECT for CATALOG DATA.

19) Select OKAY.

20) Select CREATE enter model name / description / plot scale.

21) Select DESIGN > SELECT MODEL go to SETTINGS > DESIGN FILE and set
MU:SU:PU to the PDS project settings 1:12:2032 (English).

22) Enter PDS > PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR > PROJECT ENVIRONMENT MANAGER >
Model Setup. Pick HVAC under disciplines and specify the location for your models
(c:\demo\hvac\hvproject - local- or g:\pds\models\hvac\demo)

22) Enter PDS > PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR > PROJECT ENVIRONMENT

MANAGER > CREATE.

23) Select CREATE DISCIPLINE DATA and create a HVAC discipline if it does not exist.

24) Select CREATE DESIGN AREA in HVAC and create a design area. (it is useful to name
the design area after the Pehvac project).
25) Select CREATE MODEL in HVAC

26) Enter the info for the model created in step 20. (Any model you create in Pehvac will
need to be created again through PDS. Creating models for Pehvac through PDS does
not create physical models, it will create only the required PDS database entries in
pdtable_113).

After youve created the first Pehvac model using Parnu you can now access the models
for this project or create models for this project while activating PEHVAC STARTUP.
