Branch Element

A branch is a section of pipe made up from piping components with a known branch head or branch tail. The position of the branch head (starting point) and branch tail (finishing point) can be defined by either explicitly entering the position or by the selection of piping components (such as tees) or equipment nozzles for the head or tail to connect to.

The Pipe Editor: Modify Pipe window displays by default when a new pipe element is created. It is a dual purpose window which allows the definition of branch attributes and/or connect the branch head and branch tail or modify an existing branch.

By default, the Pipe Editor: Modify Pipe window is populated with the attributes of the CE, if required, select another pipe as the CE.
