Problem:

What does node number with suffix N+. N-, M+, M-, F+, F- mean in AutoPIPE's output reports?

Solution:

As seen in the image above, Node point A01 is a bend component. When "Default point name format" is set to Alphanumeric numbering, a bend's first point is known as the Near point, the TIP (transition interface point) is labeled with the bend's node number, and the last point of the bend is designated as the bend's Far point. If the bend was modeled with the "Mid point options" enabled, an additional node point known as the Mid point will be placed as a Percentage around the bend between the Near and Far points.

Example:

A01 N- = on the straight pipe adjacent to near point

A01 N+ = on the bend side adjacent to near point

A01 M = on the bend, set as a percentage around the bend between established by the Near and Far point

A01 = Bend node point, designated as the TIP point

A01 F- = on the bend side adjacent to far point

A01 F+ = on the straight pipe adjacent to far point

Note: Numeric Format numbering output report is very different, each point of the bend will have a unique number.
