Pipe Parts: Branches (PE)

Plant Engineering > New > Pipe parts > Branch

If the guideline mode is active, you should draw the branching of the guideline before part insertion, beginning on an edge of the other guideline.

The part will then be placed interactively, with the named point 4, on the branching point. It will be automatically aligned to the direction defined by the edge branching of the guideline.

On edge branching

This function is only available if the guideline mode has been activated. Search criterion for part search is the angle (< 90°) between the edges converging on the branching point. 90° angles will not be considered.

Set all

This function is only available if the guideline mode has been activated. All branching points within the active pipeline are searched (angle < 90°) and guideline edge points are determined. The matching parts will automatically be placed on these points.

Part selection and alignment take place in the same way as with the function On edge branching option.

You can use the Pipe parts function or the AutoPlace parts on guidelines function for the automatic insertion of branches.
