PipingSystem.CreateHydraulicSeparation

Description:
Creates new system which is hydraulically separated from the existing system.

Remarks:
Hydraulically separated systems allow independent flow and pressure analysis for each hydraulic loop. For example, each hydraulic loop has its own cirtical path. The calculated pressure drop on the primary pump is consisted of all pressure drop on the primary critical path. Any pressure drop on the secondary loop would only contribute to the calculated pressure drop of the secondary pump.

Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document

document

The document where the new system is created.
ISet<ElementId>

pipeElementIds

The boundary pipe that defines a new system. Multiple pipes are allowed to create more than one separated systems.

Return Value ISet<ElementId> The newly created piping system elements.

Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentException

One or more elements is not a pipe. -or- One or more elements is already the loop boundary. -or- One or more elements can not be used as loop boundary. Check if the element connects to any junction.
