Specifies the name or identifier of the selected element. Type to create a new name. You can use Element Name to provide a name more descriptive than from/to node names.
If you use Valve Flange Database and have not previously typed an element name, then the software creates a name in the format <Rigid Type>_<End Type>_<Class>. You can type a different name. For more information, see Valve Flange Database.
The element name:
-
Displays in piping input, model graphics, and Isogen.
-
Exports to applicable output reports and MDB files.
-
Duplicates when you duplicate the element.
If you have not specified a value for Element Name, then the software defines Element Name with the value for Rigid Type. No change is made to Element Name when Rigid Type is Unspecified.
