A join point is the place where two or more pipes meet in a pipe system. A circular dot represents each join point in the Drawing pane. In Pipe Flow Expert, you can add join points as you add pipes, or you can add join points first and then connect the join points with pipe. If you add a join point to a pipe, and the location of the join point causes the pipe to be split, you will have to manually reset the pipe details for each section of pipe.


You can define the fitting(s) used at each join point by adding these to the appropriate pipe, specifying if the fitting is to be placed at the start or end of the pipe.


NOTE: Be sure to enter the values for the join point’s properties in the units displayed next to the field. For example, if you are using imperial units, and ft for feet is displayed next to the Elevation of Join field, enter the elevation in feet.
