\page create_pipetshape_page PipeTShape

To create a \b PipeTShape in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>New Entity -> Primitives -> PipeTShape</b>

Specify the parameters of the PipeTShape object in the opened dialog
box and press "Apply" or "Apply & Close" button.
The <b>result</b> of the operation will be a <b>GEOM_Object</b>.

\n <b>Main parameters</b>:

\n <b>Position parameters</b>:

\n <b>Advanced options</b> \ref preview_anchor "Preview"

<b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePipeTShape(R1, W1, L1, R2, W2, L2, HexMesh=True, P1=None, P2=None, P3=None)</em>

<b>Arguments:</b>
- \b R1 - Radius of the main T-shape pipe.
- \b W1 - Thickness of the main T-shape pipe.
- \b L1 - Length of the main T-shape pipe.
- \b R2 - Radius of the incident T-shape pipe.
- \b W2 - Thickness of the incident T-shape pipe.
- \b L2 - Length of the incident T-shape pipe.
- \b HexMesh - If True, the shape is splitted into blocks (suitable for hexaedral mesh).

<b>Position arguments:</b>
- \b P1 - First junction point of the main pipe (GEOM Vertex).
- \b P2 - Second junction point of the main pipe (GEOM Vertex).
- \b P3 - Junction point of the incident pipe (GEOM Vertex).

Example:

<h2>A Pipe T-Shape can be created with a chamfer at the junction of the main and the incident pipes:</h2>

<b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePipeTShapeChamfer(R1, W1, L1, R2, W2, L2, H, W, HexMesh=True, P1=None, P2=None, P3=None)</em>

<b>The arguments are the same as of the normal Pipe T-Shape plus:</b>
- \b H - Height of the chamfer along the incident pipe.
- \b W - Width of the chamfer along the main pipe.

Example:

<h2>A Pipe T-Shape can be created with a fillet at the junction of the main and the incident pipes:</h2>

<b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePipeTShapeFillet(R1, W1, L1, R2, W2, L2, RF, HexMesh=True, P1=None, P2=None, P3=None)</em>

<b>The arguments are the same as of the normal Pipe T-Shape plus:</b>
- \b RF - Radius of the fillet.

Example:

\image html pipetshapefillet.png

<h2>All three types of T-Shape (basic, with chamfer and with fillet) can
have thickness reductions at its open ends (two ends of the main pipe
and one end of the incident pipe):</h2>
