Spreading Pipes about the Rack

Model Reference Manual

SPREAD moves the pipes laterally across the rack in the SDIR direction to give the specified clearance. The default clearance is 50mm between pipe walls on the same centreline.


Examples:
SPREAD /PIPES	Spreads the pipes in /PIPES about the designated rack
SP /PIPES WW 100	Spreads the pipes such that the wall-to-wall clearance is 100mm
SP /PIPES WF 4IN	Spreads the pipes such that the diameter of Flanges will be considered as part of the calculation. In this case, the distance between a Flange o/d and its adjacent pipe wall, will be a minimum of 4 inches.
SP /ZONE1 FF 75	Spreads the pipes such that two opposing Flange diameters will have a minimum clearance of 75mm. Pipes with no Flanges would have a wall-to-wall clearance of 75mm.
SP ALL	Repeat previously defined order sequence (for example, on a subsequent rack).
