Flow Direction Violations
You can view the flow direction violations in the Design Rules Check dialog box. The location of flow violation is marked on the screen with a dot. The system prompts you to confirm the violation. You can confirm the violation or override the warning.
Any unresolved flow direction inconsistencies are captured by the reporting process within pipeline routing, fitting insertion, and pipeline reporting.
You can encounter the following flow violations:
• Converging flow at a junction.
• Diverging flow at a junction.
• Converging pipelines (two different pipelines that share a physical connection point but are opposed in direction.)
• Diverging pipelines (two different pipelines that share a physical connection point but are opposed in direction).
• Pipelines with dead loops (loops that feed back into the pipeline and have no outlet).
