MODEL - Hierarchy
E3D - Naming
 Element names begin with a forward slash, e.g.

/MY_MODEL
 Element names must be unique across all databases
in the MDB.
 Element names are case sensitive, e.g. /P1001A and
/P1001a are valid but different.
 Element names must not contain spaces. Any
character such as forward slash (/), Underscore
(_),hyphen (-), asterisk (*), etc. may be used as
separators.
 Element names must be no longer than 50
characters.

Pipe vs. Branch
 Un PIPE has one or several BRANches

 Un PIPE may have several ends
Head & Tail of a Branch
Branch
 Define the start HEAD and the end TAIL of a

pipe
 Can only have one Head and one Tail
 Contains all the piping components
 A Tube TUBI automatically appears in
between two piping components

With Flow vs. Against Flow
Arrive & Leave Point
Forward vs. Backwards
 Forward : functions are

performed with the direction
of flow. The modification axes
are positioned at the arrive of
the component
 Bacward : functions are
performed against the
direction of flow. The
modification axes are
positioned at the leave of the
component.
