Orders the set of piping system equations for both static and dynamic analyses. The default settings combine ordering efficiency and speed for most piping systems (systems having greater than 100 nodes or that are highly interconnected).
Optimizer Method
Select Both, Collins, or Cuthill-McKee. The default value is Both.
Next Node Selection
Select Decreasing or Increasing. The default value is Decreasing.
Final Ordering
Select Not reversed or Reversed. The default value is Reversed.
Collins Ordering
Select # of coefficients or Band. The default value is Band.
Degree Determination
Select Band or Connections. The default value is Connections.
User Control
Select Allow user re-looping or None. The default value is None.
If you set User Control to Allow User Re-looping, the software allows you to interactively try as many different combinations of switch
settings as needed. When you find the most efficient ordering, you can continue to
the analysis. This interactive prompting for optimization parameters is done in the
analysis level processing.
