Good Morning guys!
I am modelling a pipeline with a lot of ramifications. The endpoint of two of these ramifications are unknown. How can I anchor these endpoints?
Good day to you Rodrigo,
Please be sure that nothing is hidden and all segments are checked on to be shown.
Can you select the node points now?
IF NO, then perform the following here to Round trip your model. Be sure to follow this instructions and checks to the letter.
Are you able to select / see the node point names now ?

Hi Mike, thanks for you answer.
I think I didn't asked clearly...
The endpoints of piping is unknown on real piping...
I have drawings up to a certain part of run.
Yes, I had keyed in on certain words "end points are unknown". I now understand that you have limited drawing package of a piping system and are not sure what lies beyond. You are now asking what options you have to support or anchor the piping at the endpoints.
Since I do not know anything about your piping system, I will provide a number of support / anchor options:
1. Insert a Rigid anchor or Flexible anchor. If using a Flexible anchor, insert some stiffnesses that you must provide.
2. Insert one or more pipe supports
3. Insert soil properties, and add a Virtual anchor if need be.
The best answer is for you to go back to the people who sent your drawings and request additional information of what lies beyond the current drawing layout. Explain to them that you need additional information as your stress analysis results depends on it. Otherwise we are all guessing on what the stresses are in the piping system.
