Supports User Guide

Support Editor : 2D View : Branch Reinforcement Tab

By default, a separate tab displays on the Support Editor window for each branch reinforcement.

The 2D View part of the Support Editor window allows you to modify the size and position of the branch reinforcement.

The values in the text fields can be modified to define the size and position of a branch reinforcement.


	Select default tab	Click to display the default tab. The default tab is the first tab created and is positioned furthest left.
	Select ancillary tab by canvas pick	Click to display the tab for an identified ancillary using a cursor pick in the 3D view. You are prompted to Identify ancillary in current support
	2D/3D View	Click to display a 3D view of the branch reinforcement. Refer to 3D View for further information.
	Dimensions	Input values in the Dimensions fields to explicitly modify the dimensions of the branch reinforcement. If a value is entered that is outside the allowable range, an error message displays summarising the problem.
	Reinforcing Pad	Select the check box to add a reinforcing pad to the branch reinforcement.
	Type	Select from the drop-down list to define the reinforcing pad type for the branch reinforcement.
	Thickness	Input a dimensional value in the field to define the thickness of the reinforcing pad.
	Clearance	Input a dimensional value in the field to define the clearance distance required for the reinforcing pad.
	Axial Adjustment	Input a dimensional value in the field to define the position of the reinforcing pad connections along the pipe axis.
	Radial Adjustment	Input a dimensional value in the field to define the position of the reinforcing pad connections along the pipe radius.
	Set Parameters to Default	Click to set the branch reinforcement to its default values. A confirm window displays asking you to OK the action. Click Yes to set the branch reinforcement to its default values.
