Create pipeline
See also: Creating a piping component
Menu access: Piping | Create pipeline
Description:
Allows you to create automatically a pipeline along a profile made up of lines. You have the possibility of inserting components of piping.
General philosophy:
Select the reference curve on which to create the pipeline.
Select the piping components (present in the file) or extremity connections you wish to include in the pipeline. If you do not wish to use any component, you can click on the button NOT COMPONENT TO INSERT .
Click on STOP to access to the parameters of the pipeline.
In the dialog box, choose the parameters of your pipeline (type of piping, dimensions...) then validate to create the pipeline.
Available option(s):
The button NO
COMPONENT TO INSERT allows
you to directly create the pipeline without using standard components
or extremity connections.
The button STANDARD
COMPONENT allows
you to insert on the curve (before the creation of the pipeline) standard
piping components.
Specific point(s):
The reference curve must be a profile
made up only of lines. No
arc, nor portion of curve is supported by this function. The
function Curve
| Other curves | Contour 3d proves to be very useful here to
create the reference curve of the pipeline.
Available modification(s):
The icon 
allows you
to modify the various parameters of the pipeline. Some parameters may
not be available for the modification because they are locked by other
elements. For example, if you have a standard component with a specific
diameter value, you will not be able to modify the diameter of the pipeline;
you should
initially modify this component with this same function.
The icon 
allows you
to insert a standard component of the library or already present in the
file (in this case, the component must already be positioned correctly).
The icon 
allows you
to extract a component from your pipeline. The component is not part any
more of the pipeline, but is always present in the file.
The icon 
allows you
to delete a component on your line. The component is thus destroyed and
the pipeline is recomputed without this component.
You can also modify many elements
and parameters of your pipeline thanks to the symbolic tree. For this,
edit your pipeline in the tree, then right click on the element wished
to reach the possible actions on this one.
You can link a pipe onto the length
of another one by using the function Assembly | Use process.
