Pipe Properties
The Pipe Properties node is used to define the pipe shape, pipe model, and flow resistance.
Pipe Shape
The Pipe Shape settings are the same as for the Pipe Properties node described for the Pipe Flow interface.
Pipe Model
Select a Pipe model — Zero axial stress (the default), Anchored at one end, Anchored at both ends, or Incompressible cross section.
•
For Zero axial stress, select a Young’s modulus E — Not set (the default) or User defined. If User defined is selected, enter a value or expression.
•
For Anchored at one end or Anchored at both ends, enter a value or expression for Young’s modulus E. Select Poisson’s ratio v — Not set (the default) or User defined. For User defined enter a value or expression.
When Zero axial stress, Anchored at one end, or Anchored at both ends is selected, also select a Wall thickness Δw — Not set (the default) or User defined. For User defined enter a value or expression.
Flow Resistance
The Flow Resistance settings are the same as for the Pipe Properties node described for the Pipe Flow interface.
