Specifies the B31J node at the junction between the run element and the branch element on the run surface.
In the flexibility calculations, the branch starts at the surface of the run pipe. The surface node indicates this point. The software automatically defines the surface node number as Node + 1 and splits the branch element at the surface node. You can manually assign a different node number.
The software always applies the surface node to the branch pipe element, even if
you define the surface node on one of run pipe elements on the SIFs/Tees auxiliary panel tab.
