”Rippling” is a powerful tool in TRIFLEX Windows

Using “Ripple” the user can easy modify the input data for the entire model, for a sequence of components from the input spreadsheet or for a selection of components

Rippling tools are present in most component data entry dialogs

You can ripple virtually everything:- pressure - restraints

- temperature - soil characteristics

- material - code compliance settings

- pipe size - wind loads

- insulation - uniform loads

Use of Ripple


• On each dialog which supports rippling you will find three options:

1.Ripple Stops if Different – The rippling action will happen in the ascending order from the input spreadsheet and will stop when it reaches a component which has different data.

2. Ripple Selected Component – The rippling action will apply for all selected components. There are no restrictions on the sequence of the selected components.

3. Ripple to the Component # - The rippling will happen between the Current Component and the component listed at the item number input into the dialog. The rippling will be forward or backward in the sequence of the input spreadsheet.

Use of Ripple


Rippling stop if different

We want to change pipe size from 3”

nominal diameter to 8” nominal diameter.

The direction of coding is from the anchor to

the tee.

Use of Ripple


1.Open the anchor dialog

for the beginning of the 3” pipe size branch

2. Change the nominal diameter

from 3” to 8”

3. Select the radio button “Ripple Stops if Different”

4. Click with the mouse on “Ripple Size”

button

Use of Ripple


The rippling process will stop at component 23

which is the first one in the list having a different

diameter for the pipe.

By clicking “Yes” you agree with the rippling operation

and you want to continue with the ripple.

Clicking “No” cancels the rippling operation.

Use of Ripple


The rippling changes can be verified in input graphics and

the input spreadsheet.

Use of Ripple


Ripple Selected Component:

No conditions apply regarding the sequence of selections

The selections of the components can be done in the Input Spreadsheet or in Input Graphics

The selected components will me marked in the Input Spreadsheet with a black background

The selected components will be highlighted in Input Graphics

The rippling for selected components will happen unconditionally for all selected components

Use of Ripple


The operating temperature

for this system is 900F.

We will change the

temperature from 900F to 800F for the

branches marked with

Use of Ripple


The selected components appear highlighted in input graphics and with black background in input

spreadsheet

Use of Ripple


1.Double click with the mouse on one of the

selected components.

2.Change the operating

temperature from 900F to

800F.

3.Select the radio button “Ripple Selected

Components”

4. Click with the mouse on

“Operating Temperature” button from the “Ripple Selection”

group

Use of Ripple


The effect of the rippling for operating temperature can be

verified in the input spreadsheet and in input graphics

Use of Ripple


Ripple to a component:

How can we modify the temperature and pressure for the components between #10 and #30 from the Input Spreadsheet list?

Use of Ripple


Initial temperatures and pressures for

component #10 from the Input Spreadsheet

list

Modified temperatures and

pressures for component #10 from

the Input Spreadsheet list

Use of Ripple


1. Select the radio button

“Ripple to the Component #”

and type “30” in the input field

2. To ripple, click with the mouse on “Op Temp and Pressure” button

3. Select “Yes” if you want to

continue or “No” if you want to

cancel the rippling

Use of Ripple


The “ripple” operation was successful.

All the temperatures and pressures values

from the components

between #10 and #30 are modified.
