Fluid pipe connector elements

Fluid pipe connector elements:

  • allow you to simulate discrete viscous pressure loss terms in a fluid pipe network; and

  • can be used to simulate control valves allowing you to reduce and/or increase the resistance to flow or alternatively to turn the flow off.

Fluid pipe connectors in Abaqus/Standard use a pure pressure formulation to model steady-state flow of a single-phase, incompressible fluid through a fully filled junction in a pipe network.
