difference between two Pipe(TL)? one from Fluid/Thermal Liquid/Pipe & Fittings, one from Foundation Library/Thermal Liquid/Element

there are a lot of libraries in Simscape and Simulink with very similar names.

For example for Pipe for thermal liquid, there are two option:

Fluid/Thermal Liquid/Pipe & Fittings/Pipe(TL)

Foundation Library/Thermal Liquid/Element/Pipe(TL)

what are the difference? Which one should I choose to use?

Hi,

Lets say,

Fluid/Thermal Liquid/Pipe & Fittings/Pipe(TL) as Pipe1

Foundation Library/Thermal Liquid/Element/Pipe(TL) as Pipe2

Pipe1 has multiple number of segements while Pipe2 is a single segment.

Checkout the description of each block by giving a double click on that block and use the one that mathces with the requirement.

For more information refer Pipe1 and Pipe2.

Hello @Ganesh Gudipati，

As what you mentioned the relationship between Pipe1 and Pipe2 , if we set Pipe1's segements number as 1,whether it can be replaced with Pipe2?
