Open Fan File

Use Open Fan File to open and/or create a fan database file. Fan databases (<project><name>.vfn), which are stored in your current working directory, are listed under the Specifications folder of the Vulcan Explorer. Fans can be added, edited or removed from a fan database through using the Add Fan, Edit Fan and Delete Fan options.

Note:   A single fan database can be shared across different ventilation networks.
