Hello,
I am having pipe network (main, branch,sub branch file) . In which i want to split the each pipe for 500m . is there any method to split the pipe automatically.

Hello Satish,
Can you please mention which software you are using? Is it WaterGEMS / WaterCAD or SewerGEMS / CivilStorm / SewerCAD ?
The best option for both water and storm-sewer modeling systems would be to use Microstation or AutoCAD integrated platform of software. e.g. SewerGEMS for Microstation or SewerGEMS for AutoCAD and use the inherent tools of CAD application to divide the pipe each at 500 m.
Or if you are using SewerGEMS, then you can use the tool called element property inferencing, which will divide a pipe at required intervals between two selected nodes. Here is information is about the tool.

I am using water gems.
Is there a reason that you need to do this?
If you have a source file like a shapefile that includes nodes along the pipe length, you can import the nodes as junctions using ModelBuilder to update the model, then use the Batch Pipe Split tool to split the pipes and connect the pipes to the new junctions.

As Scott said, it would help to understand why you are wanting to split the pipes into 500 m segments. If you have access to MicroStation or AutoCAD, you could use drafting tools to create the equal-spaced pipes or points, then import them with ModelBuilder.

hello,
i am routing a long pipes (network) in non even ground terrain, Intermediate peak is coming. SInce there is no junction the HGL crossing with pipe is unknown.
Hence i am asking this.
Jesse's suggestion of using a drafting tool in a product like MicroStation or AutoCAD may be the best solution. You can create point elements this way, export the point data into a DXF file, and use ModelBuilder to import the points. Once the points are there, you can then use the Batch Pipe Split tool mentioned above to split the pipes and attach the nodes to the pipes.
Additionally - after the junctions are imported with ModelBuilder and the batch pipe split tool is used, you can re-run Terrain Extractor (Trex) to assign elevations based on a terrain model/DTM.
I've documented the information in the following new article in our Wiki: Splitting a pipe into multiple pipes with the same length
Thanks for your reply,
I am handling 10000 pipes of gravity flow. My requirement is the diameter to be reduced gradually. Since it is a network ( single inlet and multiple outlet) , more often the branch pipe diameter is becoming more than main pipe diameter to meed to demand with required pressure.
Is there any method to find the where diameter of pipe is reducing gradually from tank to demand pipe.

You could sort the pipe flextable based on start hydraulic grade (per this article; to sort by upstream/downstream order), then scan down the list of diameters. This would enable you to see if the diameters are reducing as you move downstream.
