Details on Component Data for Pipes
Information about the component data dialog for pipes.
Pipes are always drawn as lines in the drawing. The program recognizes the pipe type (Gas pipe) by the layer on which these lines are located. A pipe may be connected at each end to a maximum of three other pipes (crossing T-piece) or one block symbolizing another component. It is neither possible to connect several pipes to a component connection nor to leave pipe ends open.
Fittings (Elbows, T-pieces) have to be used at branches. For open pipe ends, use the partial network end component or a pipe end. Do not set a partial network end unless it is to be linked to a partial network start.
The pipe type is determined either from the default that you set in the Pipe tables or by the separate definition of the pipe.
