This help has been provided in order to give users ideas for modeling typical piping arrangements. The steps shown in each example should not be taken as the only method available to create models. In addition, the intent of the examples is to present ways to create adequate models of specific piping components for analytical purposes.

Anchor	Bends
Cuts: Cold Spring	Flexible Joints
Frames	Hangers
Nozzles	Pipes
Reducers	Rotating Equipment
Supports	Tees
Valves	Vessels
