Placing the coincident constraint causes an odd (not 90-degree, 45-degree
or combined135-degree) angle between the two segments so the route is
in error. In the exercise that follows, you create a bend to fix the violation.
Create Bends Between Existing Pipe Segments
The rigid piping styles allow only the 90-degree, and 45-degree angles (when
45-degree is allowed in the style) and also the combined angles of 135-degrees.
When the Parallel With Edge or Perpendicular To Face tool is applied, bends
are automatically created where an odd angle is required.
When an odd angle exists between the two joint pipe segments, violations
occur. Use the Bend tool to create a bend so that the route is valid.
You can manually define the bends using the Custom Bend tool. It is applied
before you create the next segment.
In this exercise, you use the Bend tool to fix the invalid angle violation in the
preceding exercise.
Join separate route points with the coincident constraint
1 To verify the errors in Route01, right-click the route in the Model browser
and select Show Violations.
2 To identify the route part in error, click an error on the Show Violations
dialog box, and then view the error in the graphic window.
The invalid angle is between the two segments as highlighted in the
following image.
3 Click OK to close the Show Violations dialog box.
