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.
Regards

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.

Scott
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.
