Pipework – Course
Insert fitting

Workflow

1. Move the pipe to the position for inserting an object.
2. Define a fix point by clicking .

3. Select the object from the context menu (click ) or by using a keyboard key. The dialog appears.

   Function		Keys
   	Bend	[B]
   	Tee	[T]
   	Transition	[Y]

4. Check the settings.

   Bend

   Angle

   Angle of the direction change.

   

   Left / Right / Up / Down

   Rotation of the bend and further direction of the pipe. The setting is usually set during the drawing of the pipe and also defines the angle at Rotation.

   Setting	Example
   Left
   Right
   Up
   Down

   Rotation

   Rotation of the object in degrees (°) around its center axis. A positive angle causes a rotation to the right (relative to the drawing direction).

   The value is usually set during the definition of the course. A manual entry is required if the rotation has to deviate from the perpendicular angle.

   

   Angle to X-axis

   The settings are only available for objects in vertical segments. The rotation of the component is defined as angle. At an angle=0, the object is rotated to the right and corresponds to the position of the X-axis. A positive rotation causes the component to rotate counter clockwise.

   

   Tee

   Straight / Branch / Ahead

   Setting	Effect
   Straight	An exit shows the selected direction. The pipeline runs straight ahead.
   Branch	An exit shows the selected direction. The pipeline follows the branch.
   Ahead	Two exits are on the right and left. The pipeline follows the branch of the selected direction.

   Angle

   Angle of the branch with respect to the pipeline.

   

   Left / Right / Up / Down

   The setting also defines the angle at Rotation of branch.

   Setting	Draw direction
   	Straight / Branch	Ahead
   Left =180°
   Right =0°
   Up =270°
   Down =90°

   Rotation of branch

   Rotation of the object in degrees (°) around its center axis. A positive angle causes a rotation to the right (relative to the drawing direction).

   The angle is automatically set with Left / Right / Up / Down. A manual entry is required if the rotation has to deviate from the perpendicular angle.

   

   Angle to X-axis

   The settings are only available for objects in vertical segments. The rotation of the component is defined as angle. At an angle=0, the object is rotated to the right and corresponds to the position of the X-axis. A positive rotation causes the component to rotate counter clockwise.

   

   Entry / Branch / Exit

   Nominal diameter of the connections. The meaning depends on the selected setting at Draw direction.

   Properties	Draw direction
   	Straight / Branch	Ahead
   Entry
   Branch
   Exit

   Transition

   Outgoing

   Dimension of the pipe after the transition.

   

   None / Line / Arrow

   The setting affects the display of the symbol if the pipes are presented as a line. (The option View Advanced Representation is deactivated.)

   Setting	Effect
   None
   Line
   Arrow

   Insert centered

   Example: Valve
   Setting	Effect
   		The symbol is centered.
   		The symbol is passed to an end.

   Rotation

   Rotation of the object in degrees (°) around its center axis. A positive angle causes a rotation to the right (relative to the drawing direction).

   

   Angle to X-axis

   The settings are only available for objects in vertical segments. The rotation of the component is defined as angle. At an angle=0, the object is rotated to the right and corresponds to the position of the X-axis. A positive rotation causes the component to rotate counter clockwise.

   

5. Click OK. The object is a part of the pipeline. It defines the direction and characteristics of the continuing pipe at the exit of the object.
