”Rippling” is a powerful tool in TRIFLEX Windows
Using “Ripple” the user can easy modify the input data for the entire model, for a sequence of components from the input spreadsheet or for a selection of components
Rippling tools are present in most component data entry dialogs
You can ripple virtually everything:- pressure - restraints
- temperature - soil characteristics
- material - code compliance settings
- pipe size - wind loads
- insulation - uniform loads

• On each dialog which supports rippling you will find three options:
1.Ripple Stops if Different – The rippling action will happen in the ascending order from the input spreadsheet and will stop when it reaches a component which has different data.
2. Ripple Selected Component – The rippling action will apply for all selected components. There are no restrictions on the sequence of the selected components.
3. Ripple to the Component # - The rippling will happen between the Current Component and the component listed at the item number input into the dialog. The rippling will be forward or backward in the sequence of the input spreadsheet.

We want to change pipe size from 3”
nominal diameter to 8” nominal diameter.
The direction of coding is from the anchor to
the tee.

1.Open the anchor dialog
for the beginning of the 3” pipe size branch
2. Change the nominal diameter
from 3” to 8”
3. Select the radio button “Ripple Stops if Different”
4. Click with the mouse on “Ripple Size”
button

The rippling process will stop at component 23
which is the first one in the list having a different
diameter for the pipe.
By clicking “Yes” you agree with the rippling operation
and you want to continue with the ripple.
Clicking “No” cancels the rippling operation.

Ripple Selected Component:
No conditions apply regarding the sequence of selections
The selections of the components can be done in the Input Spreadsheet or in Input Graphics
The selected components will me marked in the Input Spreadsheet with a black background
The selected components will be highlighted in Input Graphics
The rippling for selected components will happen unconditionally for all selected components
