1 SINETZ Tutorial
Thank you for reading this document, introducing into the work with the program system SINETZ.
This manual is applicable to the
• SINETZ full license
• SINETZ test license
We would be very pleased to provide you with a program license or viewer download. Please contact our
sales department in Germany (sales@rohr2.com) or one of the ROHR2/ SINETZ sales partners (see
www.rohr2.com for contact details).
The test program is provided by download and can be used under conditions of non-commercial use.
Running a test license requires a contact to the SIGMA test license server by internet connection.
The technical requirements are specified in an installation document.
The test license is provided by sending an access to the test license server
You will receive by email:
- a download link to the program
- a license access code
1. Download installation Unzip and copy the files into a directory on your computer
data
2. Start the installation By running
sn_setup_trial.exe“
and follow the installation
3. Select a language English (EN) or German (DE) are available
4. Start the SINETZ Selection of directories OK or select
Setup-assistant
Select the menu folder OK or select
5 Ready for installation The Install command starts the installation
6 Installation A SINETZ desktop symbol is placed into START| PROGRAMS
successful
The following settings are required for the access to the license server:
7 Check the firewall
make sure that port 1947 (UDP + TCP) is not blocked for the access to
settings
the test server (possibly it is blocked by the Windows firewall!)
8 Run the application See 1.1.3
9 Test license Check the license conditions , see 1.1.4
conditions-
10 Access code Enter the access code, sent by email , see 1.1.4
In case of problems during installation or application of the SINETZ test license, please refer to the
chapter Test license trouble shooting contact our technical support team (_d2h_bmk__Ref536611780_33
In case of problems during installation or application of the SINETZ test license , please refer to the
chapter Test license trouble shooting contact our technical support team
(_d2h_bmk__D2HTopic_12804_33
The test license now is prepared to run until the end of the test period.
The status of the test license is checked by internet frequently. Please be sure to have an internet access
when the program is running.
Please note: the scope of delivery of the server test license may be not identical to the ROHR2/SINETZ
standard release and the demo version!
The test installation can be continued as a full-featured license without removing the software.
Please contact the ROHR2/SINETZ/PROBAD support in this case.
Please refer to topic 2 of this document for a detailed introduction into a calculation example
• in the Internet, e.g. ROHR2/SINETZ Forum incl. SINETZ FAQ (Frequently asked questions), see
Help menu
• the user support providing advice on installation and application of the program (hotline-service)
on workdays (Mondays to Fridays) from 9.00 - 16.00 (Central European Time).
User support by email
An email function, integrated in to SINETZ, enables to transmit program data directly (see menu Help

3 Quick guide
Open these types of files using an optional available interface program, depending on the availability of
interfaces (see system contract). The demo program may include a reduced number of interfaces.
Project settings
Project data
Put in an order name, a page header and the number of lines per page and chose a language for your
printer output of results. The graphic is printed in the same language as well.
Graphic parameters
Got to the Graphic tab to control the graphic parameters as paper size, scale, grid and settings of text
representation and colors. An isometric grid may be activated.
Boundary conditions (pressure, temperature, quantity injection, ...) are given to each load case separately.
Depending on load cases the zeta-values of components (valves, shutter, ...) can be put in as well as
pumps may be switched on and off.
For each load case a medium as well as the precision grade and the maximum number of iterations may
be defined.
If a new system is created, the dialog window load case is shown automatically.
When entering a new system one dimension is displayed standardly. A mouse click on the pipe
dimension opens the input window.
Different colors and line width can be assigned to the pipes for a better survey.
If heat loss is to be part of the calculation, the input of insulation parameters is required!
Use the copy command ( ) to extend the piping system with symmetric partial systems. A partial
system must be selected for this purpose. Given parameters of nodes and sections, e.g. dimensions and
boundary conditions remain.
The function Edit / Select ( ) is used to choose partial systems for further processing.
Change the position of nodes by edit - move ( ). If parts of the system are selected (highlighted), the
nodes at all selected pipe sections are moved.
Height parameters
If there are height parameters at nodes, they may be entered in Properties | Nodes. If nodes have been
selected before, the indicated heights are assigned to them.
In the highlighted segment the length, nominal width and type and number of bends can be entered or
modified.
3.4 Components
Adding zeta values
Toolbar components
Assign additional resistance coefficients and pressure loss parameters to pipe sections by Edit|
Components.
If there are more than one defined load cases, zeta values and Pressure loss parameters of the
components may be indicated depending on load cases. This may be useful for the representation of
different operation states with open and closed instruments.
Insert reducers at nodes where dimensions change.
A pressure loss can be assigned by means of a component by the command Edit| components and a click
on the segment.
It is recommended to insert a pressure loss together with mass flow and medium density to convert them
in to zeta values.
The command Properties water/steam opens the corresponding dialog window.
It is used to determine and display the properties of water and steam from steam table.
If several load case have been defined, die zeta values or pressure loss definitions of the components can
be inserted depending on the load case. By this way instruments, open or closed depending on operation
state, can be modeled.
Pumps
Characteristic curves can be stored in the database as far as the pairs of value are completed. Pumps
can be inserted multiple.
Required is a minimum of one temperature value, pressure parameter and quantity injection.
To get a calculable piping model these inputs are required for pressure and quantity input:
Usually each run through line end requires pressure or
quantity:
- one pressure value and one quantity injection with
quantity to be calculated
or
- no pressure value and one quantity injection with
defined quantity
Calculate ( )
Results
Calculation results can be plotted and presented in the form of a list or printed.
To show the results you have to switch into the result mode by the Tool bar Mode.
The calculation results generally display the results of one load case.
Please specify the load case from the toolbar Load cases.
In the results mode the representation of the most important results at segments can be
activated by
- a double click on the pipe segment
All results, available in the segment can be shown by the list commands
(see Properties| List data).
All results, available at the node can be shown by the list commands
(see Properties| List data).

please refer to the ROHR2 Interface feature list.
Problem Solution
The access to the license key failed, error message! 1.
The test license tries to connect to the
license manager using
Port TCP/UDP 1947.
If this port is blocked the error occurs.
