This article starts a sequential step-by-step tutorial on elevator design in DigiPara Liftdesigner: component properties, options and rules, and practical examples for rail brackets, door mountings, refuge spaces and platforms, panels, counterweights, car frames, rope wall fixings, MRL machine bases, hydraulic rail brackets, and machine room settings. Several chapters use their own practice project — each one is created at the start of the article that needs it. Follow the steps in order.
Prerequisites
DigiPara Liftdesigner installed.
Basic Liftdesigner knowledge from A1 – DigiPara Liftdesigner Fundamentals (e.g. exchanging components, the Breadcrumb window, grouping of list objects).
Steps
1.) Create the practice elevator project. Using the Shaft Wizard, create a project with:
5 floors, typical floor-to-floor distance 3000 mm
Consider travel: No; Create building floor levels: No
Traction elevator, 2:1 roping
13 persons / 1000 kg, 1 m/s
Machine room: Below / left
Car roping: 2 pulleys below, with CW safety gear
Counterweight roping: 1 pulley top, counterweight left
Sheet templates: LD Installation Drawing, LD Typical Views For Your Elevator
Car size: width 1600 mm, depth 1400 mm
Entrances: front on all floors, rear on the first and last level
Individual floor-to-floor distances: Pit 1200 mm; E1 2900 mm; E2 3000 mm; E3 3000 mm; E4 3800 mm
2.) Save the project. Save it under the file name LDTrainingSampleA2_01.ld3.
Result
A practice elevator project exists.
