PDMS tutorial from Said: Defining of route of pipe and branch

Defining of route of pipe and branch

It is easy to construct pipe if you know beginning and end fitting of piping. In our case, pipe has to
be drawn from nozzle to nozzle. First of all we need go to Piping mode: DesignÎPipework. All
menus will be changed to piping design. If this one is not active it means you are in Piping mode.
After selecting this mode you will get window title as shown below.

Go to menu CreateÎPipe

In field Name enter pipe name without space. If you want to change click on button Specifications
and change to necessary type. Then click OK. You will get new dialog window Create branch. In
list Head/Tail setting you need select Connect (other options will be explained in other samples).

Select Head from list. From list To you can select one of the several options. Full list is listed

They are Nozzles. Select Nozzle and click Apply and select head nozzle. Head nozzle is first nozzle
from beginning (in direction of flow) of pipe. Tail nozzle is end nozzle.
