Junctions are used to join together two or more Connections . Typically they mark a change in the connection type, slope, pipe diameter, open channel cross-section or direction or may represent a physical structure such as a manhole chamber.
Name - Each Junction must have a unique name.
Junctions forms have three tabs with some shared characteristics: Dimensions, Inlets, and Outlets.
Dimensions
Junction Type - either Simple Junction or Manhole can be selected.
Easting - The easting coordinate at the center of the icon on Plan.
Northing - The northing coordinate at the center of the icon on Plan.
Bend Loss - The loss coefficient associated with energy losses that occur when flow enters a junction and then exits through an outgoing connection at a different angle. For more information see Analysis of Junctions and Connections.
Explore the Inlets and Outlets pages for more details on these tabs.
