Introduction to PCC

The PCC package is an easy to use calculation program. The Graphical User Interface is designed to be self-explanatory. For novices, these pages provide guidance about the use of the software and some background information about the calculations performed.

The 'Getting Started' guide is for engineers to get the minimal necessary information to use PCC, see Getting started. The guide gives step by step information on creating a project, building a pipe class, performing calculations and exporting various reports.

For a further explanation on the purposes of a pipeclass or a report, see Purposes

The 'Program Structure' section explains the dialogs or windows of the PCC program. Per window all the input, output and edit functionality is described. The 'Help' button on each window will open the relevant Help Manual page giving the information per button or input field. See Program structure
