Branch

Branch (BRAN) elements are sections of a pipe, which have known start and finish points. In the application, the start and finish points are called the Head and Tail. Heads and tails may be connected to nozzles, tees or other Heads and tails, depending on the configuration of the pipe, or left open ended.

A BRA) element can own a wide variety of components such as gaskets (GASK), flanges (FLAN), tees (TEE), valves (VALV), elbows (ELBO) and so on. These form the shape and geometry of the BRAN and ultimately the pipeline itself.
