Positioning Head or Tail in Free Space

Model Reference Manual

Piping, Ducting and Cable Trays : Connecting the Head or Tail : Positioning Head or Tail in Free Space

It is sometimes necessary to terminate a Branch (or Hanger) in free space; for instance, where a Branch reaches the Battery Limits. Where this termination ends with a length of TUBE (or ROD) and no Head or Tail connection can be made, it is necessary to set the Head/Tail attributes individually.


Examples:
HPOS E10 N5 U5	The Head position is set as specified in owner coordinates.
HDIR N WRT WORLD	The Head direction is set as specified in World coordinates.
HBOR 80	The Head Bore is set as specified.
HCON OPEN	The Head Connection Type is set as specified.

Note:

If a data consistency error is to be avoided, the HCONN or TCONN of a free end must be set to one of the following: OPEN, CLOS, VENT, DRAN (drain), or NULL.
