Required parameters

ELSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the fluid pipe elements for which the section properties are being defined.

MATERIAL

Set this parameter equal to the name of the material that describes the fluid flowing through the pipe.

Optional parameters

SYMMETRY
Set this parameter equal to a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1 to enforce symmetric modeling of fluid pipe elements. A value of 0.5 corresponds to modeling half symmetry, and a value of 0.25 corresponds to modeling quarter symmetry.

When this parameter is used, you must specify the magnitude of the fluid injected into the pipe elements in the CFLOW option as the full model flow scaled by the symmetry value.
