To establish a link between a component and an air or water loop the user must be in the Diagram Workspace of either Zone HVAC Groups, Air Loops or Water Loops. The following outline the key steps required within each workspace. Users are also encouraged to review those Simergy Help Sections as well.
Note: There are only a few scenarios where the user will link components to Loops within the Zone HVAC Diagram workspace, such as for Radiant Shapes (Radiant floor, Radiant ceilings). In the case of Air Terminal Units associated with Zone Groups, it is easier for the user to link these to water loops from the Air Loop Diagram Workspace (see below).
The user needs to make sure that the types of water loops have been created within Systems/Water Loops/Create-Edit and System Templates have been associated with them making them available for selection.
Select the desired Zone HVAC Group and go to the Diagram workspace (select from Create-Edit table or select from component tree)
Select the Component Shape that requires the Water Loop link(s). These are the component shapes with off-page reference tags (see Radiant Floor shape). The component properties area (lower left) will become active.
Select the desired Water Loop to connect to from the drop down list within the component properties area (Field <Water Type> Loop). In this scenario the user is to select a CHW Loop and a Hot Water Loop.
Select Update.
Result - The Component has been linked to the Water Loop(s) and the off-page reference tag has been updated to show the number of the Loop Type that has been connected. If the user goes to that Water Loop they will see a representation of the component shape incorporated into that loop with off-page references back to the Air Loop.
The user needs to make sure that the types of water loops (HW, CW, CHW or MxW) have been created within Systems/Water Loops/Create-Edit and System Templates have been associated with them making them available for selection.
Go to the desired Air Loop within the Diagram workspace (select from Create-Edit table or select from component tree)
Select the Component Shape that requires the Water Loop link (component shapes with off-page references). The component properties area (lower left) will become active.
Select the desired Water Loop to connect to from the drop down list within the component properties area (Field <Water Type> Loop)
Select Update.
Result - The Component has been linked to the Water Loop and the off-page reference tag has been updated to show the number of the Loop Type that has been connected. If the user goes to that Water Loop they will see a representation of the component shape incorporated into that loop with off-page references back to the Air Loop.

Select the desired Air Loop to connect to from the drop down list within the component properties area (Field: Air Loop)
Select Update.
Result - The Component has been linked to the Air Loop and the off-page reference tag has been updated to show the number of the Loop connected. If the user goes to that Air Loop they will see a representation of the component shape incorporated into that loop with off-page references back to the Water Loop.
