Pipeline 10

This pipeline starts with a branch from the run pipe. The Y coordinate is defined with the plane CL. The first segment is parallel to the negative Z axis and it ends 975 mm from the tank top, plane TT.

The direction for the next segment is defined with two angles. The X coordinate of the end point is defined with the plane F10, which locates at the edge of the tank top.

The last pipe segment is parallel to the Z axis and it ends at the tank top.

Do the following:

1. Select Piping > Route pipe.

2. Move the cursor inside the run pipe.

3. Press F11 to lock the cursor to the centerline.

4. Press C to define the coordinates for the start point.

5. For y, enter CL-900 as the value.

6. Click OK.

   Do not accept the start point.

7. Right-click, and select Create branch.

   The run pipe should be highlighted. If a wrong pipe is highlighted, press Space until the selection is correct.

8. Press Enter to accept the run pipe when it is highlighted.

9. For System, select AA_Water.

10. For Line, select AA_Water-10.

11. For Nominal Size, enter 100 as the value.

12. Click Done.

13. Press Alt+Ctrl+Z to set the direction to the negative Z axis.

14. Press Space to accept the direction.

15. Press Z.

16. Enter TT+975 as the value.

    

17. Click OK.

18. Press Space.

19. Press S to define the spherical coordinates.

20. For Radius, enter 500 as the value.

    The segment has to be long enough to have an elbow.

21. For Fii, enter 180 as the value.

22. For Beta, enter -15 as the value.

    

23. Click OK.

24. Press Space.

25. Press U to cancel the previous pipe segment.

    Only an elbow remains.

26. Press X.

27. Enter F10-900 as the value.

    

28. Click OK.

29. Press Space.

30. Move the cursor near the end of the pipe.

31. Press W.

32. Press Z.

33. Enter TT as the value.

    

34. Click OK.

35. Press Space.

36. Press Enter.

37. Click Yes.

You have now routed a pipe that starts from the run pipe with a branch, angles slightly at the middle and ends at the tank top.
