layer1 - Creates a 'lvlpipe' layer for all of the pipes (except the "main" pipe) in the program
Pipe1 - Creates a pipe with an origin at the variable "origin". See Pipe Help for details on the pipe function.
Pipe1 Length = Δx + thick tank + offset - ElbowRadius
Notes: *
- Pipe1 Length is not a variable, the
...
- values are inputed directly into the pipe function
...
- offset is a function which divides the x dimension of the level tank by the number of sedimentation tanks, so as to evenly space the inlet pipes to the tank.
...
- ElbowRadius is the radius of curvature of an elbow. In the script it is given as a function of the inner radius. This function is defined in the Pipe Database program
Rotate1 - Pipe 1 is rotated so that from a top view it is oriented in the west to east direction
...
- x: x,origin - Pipe1 Length
- y: y,origin + ElbowRadius
- z: z,origin
Pipe2 Length = Δy - 2ElbowRadius + thick tank + disp
Rotate2 - Pipe 2 is rotated so it is oriented north to south in top view
