Video: preventing and fixing possible pitfalls in your design

Errors may arise during design, like insufficient connection depth or mismatched colors. HydroMan helps minimize errors with a checklist.

HydroMan automatically generates a checklist highlighting potential warnings and errors in your manifold.

If there are items in your to-do list, like unadded components, the checklist will alert you.

Warnings

Possible warnings include:

Group error: Two different colors are connected.
Area not max: Two components aren’t fully connected, risking a high pressure drop.
Thread hit: Part of the thread is being machined away.
Threads interfere: Two threads intersect, risking internal collision during assembly.
Wall thickness warning: Wall thickness is below a critical value, defaulted to 5 mm.
Partially connected: Parts in the group aren’t connected to the rest.
Port error:  A connection in a cavity is outside the manufacturer's specified boundaries.

HydroMan generates more warnings than necessary. A warning doesn’t always demand action, just your attention. To override a warning, check it off as reviewed and accepted.

Multiple users can check off warnings. If team members collaborate on the same project, you can see who accepted each warning.

Once all colors are connected and the checklist shows no issues, you’re finished for now. Your manifold is done and aligns with the schematic.

HydroMan automatically generates your production drawing and drilling list.
