Pipes are classified as network part objects.

Attribute Name

Content

aec_description

The general description of an entity.

aec_material_ids

A list of ids for the material objects associated with an entity.

aec_name

The name of an entity.

aec_netpart_connector_ids

A list of ids for the connector objects which express the connections for a network part entity.

aec_netpart_def_id

The ID of a network part definition object which stores properties for a network part entity.

aec_netpart_graph_part_id

The ID of a part object in a graph associated with a network part entity.

aec_netpart_graph_ids

A list of IDs for the graph objects associated with a network part entity.

aec_netpart_name

The name of a network part entity. This name value may override the value of aec_name.

aec_netpart_network

The name of the network object associated with a network part entity.

aec_netpart_network_id

The ID of the network object associated with a network part entity.
