About General Information on Connected Pipes

This section describes the possible results depending on whether one or both routes are selected.

When you select both routes for manipulation, you manipulate them together and you also select the junction symbol. For more information, see Modifying Symbols Position and Orientation.

When you select only one out of the two routes during the manipulation:

• In the transformation process, the junction symbol is added to the selection to avoid modifying the selected route.
• In instantiation and duplication processes, the selected route ends in space.

For more information, see Reversing and Mirroring Symbols.

The nominal size is propagated to both connected pipes. For more information, see Modifying/Propagating a Piping Component Nominal Size.

If you use the Fluid: Check Nominal Size B.I on two connected pipes, their two nominal sizes will be analyzed. For more information, see Fluid: Check Nominal Size.

Flow arrow is applied by navigating both connected pipes to compute global/local flow. For more information, see Displaying/Managing Routes Flow Directions.

If you use the Fluid: Review Flow Directions B.I, the navigation is done through the connected pipes to compute the global and local flow. For more information, see Fluid: Review Flow Directions.

When you connect a pipe to another, it is viewed as a connected object. For more information about connectivity, see Fluid: Piping Connectivity Review.

The symbol connecting the two pipes is invisible. However you can manipulate it indirectly through the pipes extremities. When one of the connected pipes is selected, two handles appear on the junction with another pipe.

You can use the green handle to move the junction between the two routes.

You can use the gray handle to slide the junction between the two routes.
