Modifying the End Style of a Route

An end style is a route attribute that determines the auto parts that can be placed on it. You may need to modify the end style of a route to make it compatible with the connecting parts.

In Data Setup, under Piping Discipline Resources and Piping Design Resources, End Style and Pipe Fabrication End Style list all possible end styles for a pipe/tube. The End Style command displays the content of the Pipe Fabrication End Style table and allows you to select an end style.

This table is associated with a standard. Based on the standard defined on the pipe/tube, the Pipe Fabrication End Style table displays the end styles. If you try to modify the end style of a pipe/tube on which no standard is defined, the End Style command is unable to locate the Pipe Fabrication End Style table and an error message appears.

The Pipe Fabrication End Style table is filtered on the basis of Material, if it is defined on the pipe/tube.

Before you begin: Open an object containing the route for which you want to modify the end style.
  1. From the Fluid Design section of the action bar, select Part Mode as process mode.
  2. From the Selection Options dialog box, select Part Selection .
    For more information about the different selection options, see Selection Options and Process Modes.
  3. Select a route and then select the end node.
  4. On the context toolbar, click Modify End Style .
    Note: If the end style is Unset, you can assign it using Edit.

    The Choose End Style dialog box appears and displays a list of end styles that can be assigned to the route.

  5. Select an end style and click OK.

    The end style is modified for the selected route and appears in the Data dialog box. You can copy the end style from one end point to the active one using Copy End Style From Other End . You can also copy the end style of the active end point to an other end point using Copy End Style To Other End .
