Working with Pressure Networks in Plan View

Topics in this section

About Creating Pressure Networks in Plan View
About Pressure Network Plan Layout Tools
Use the Pressure Network Plan Layout ribbon to create and edit pressure networks in plan view.
To Create a Pressure Network
Lay out a pressure network along a path. You can optionally choose to create the pressure network so that it conforms to the topography of a surface.
To Create Pressure Networks from Objects
Create a pressure network from a selected object in the drawing.
To Add Pipe Runs to a Pressure Network
Lay out additional pipe runs for a pressure network along a path.
To Add Pipe Runs to Pressure Networks from Objects
Add a pipe run to a pressure network from a selected object in the drawing.
To Create Pipe Runs from Pressure Network Parts
Create a path-based pipe run in a pressure network from an existing part-based pressure network.
About Connecting a New Pipe Run into an Existing Pipe Run
When connecting a new pipe run to an existing pipe run, you can use visual cues to automatically add a tee branch.
To Insert Curved Pressure Network Segments
To Add a Branch Fitting at a Pipe Intersection
Add branch fittings at the intersection of pressure network pipe runs.

About Using the Compass to Control Part Angles During Pipe Run Creation
The compass is a guide which you can use during pressure network layout to insert the next pressure network part. The compass appears as a circle and tick marks after the first pipe segment is drawn. The tick marks show the angles that can be established with the available bends or the allowable deflection angles.
About Creating a Pressure Network From a Water Industry Model
You can create a pressure network from water industry model data that was created in AutoCAD Map 3D.
