Then we will have another window ‘Create Branch’. This will allow
choosing the specification for branch. And also to choose the branch creation
option either connect or explicit. If we want to start the branch from any
component then use ‘connect’. And if we want to stand the branch from an
explicit position, then we will use ‘explicit’. After then click OK.
If we use the ‘connect’ option then we will see a new window named
‘Connect Branch’ in this window we have to define which end (Head end,
Tail end) is connected to which item (Tee, Nozzle etc). Suppose we want to
connect Head end of the Branch to a Nozzle, to do this select Head and
Nozzle from Drop Down Manu then Click Apply all tab at the screen will be
inactive and have to identify the Nozzle at which the Head of the Branch to be
connected. The Tail of the Branch should be connected by this way.
To do this at first select the pipe under which the Branch will create. Then
click Create-->Branch we will see a window named ‘create Branch’. Set the
name of the Branch, and then select the specification of the Branch. Select

Connect/Explicit. We have to select Connect, when we want to connect the
Head end or Tail end to the desired item (Tee, Nozzle etc) and select Explicit
when we want to create a Branch at Explicit Position. Then click OK. We will
see a new window, the activities at this window is described earlier (at step 3)
5. Some Idea for Head & Tail, Connect, Explicit etc of a Branch:
A Branch has two ends, Head end & Tail end. We have to select Connect (At
‘Create Branch’ window) when we want to connect the Head end or Tail end
to the desired item (Tee, Nozzle etc) and select Explicit when we want to create
a Branch at Explicit Position. When we select Explicit and click OK then we
will see a new window named ‘Branch at Explicit Position’ select Head from
Drop Down Manu and have to give desired position at that position the Branch
to be started, and we have to select Bore and Direction, then Click Apply &
Dismiss.
We have to create some Component between Head & Tail. To do this select the
Branch in which the component to be created then click Create-->Component.
We will see a window Named ‘Piping Component’.
Specification is specified when the branch is created. Insulation & Tracing is
same as Default.
There are two options Forward/Backward. When we want to create
Component from head of the Branch then we have to click on Forward, when
we have to Create Component From Tail then click on Backward.
Tick Mark on ‘Auto Conn’, then select the desired component that we want to
create, then Click on Create Tab, the component will create.
The Leave Direction could be changed from Drop Down Manu of ‘Direction’.
The Component could be Rotate at Desired angle from Drop down Menu of
‘Rotate’. The Component could be moved through selected Item, which is
selected, from Drop Down Menu of ‘Thro CE’. Such as if we select ‘Thro ID
Cursor’ then all Tab at the Screen will be inactive then have to select the Item
through which the component to move with Pipe. We can move the component
to the desired distance by Distance or Spool command.
To see the Position of a component at first select the Component then Click
Position-->Explicit (AT). We can see the Explicit Position at Different Point
(Origin, P Point etc.)
