The cross section of my pipe is ellipse. How could I build a pipe like that? Thanks

The pipe appears as an ellipse in a cross section because the vertical scale is not the same as the horizontal scale, it is exaggerated so it appears as ellipse even if it is a round pipe.

Add an elliptical pipe Part Family to your Parts List.

 

Settings tab of Toolspace > Pipe Network > rt. click on network name > Edit > Pipes tab >

rt. click on part list name > Add part family > Elliptical Pipes > concrete horizontal elliptical culvert.

Next rt. click on concrete horizontal elliptical culvert > Add a part size > check all check boxes on upper rt. > ok.

I read your post as you want to use an elliptical pipe.  There are elliptical pipes in the Catalog.

Are you using a custom Parts Catalog?

 

Command: _AeccSetNetworkCatalog will return catalog location.

Use SETNETWORKCATALOG to set the catalog location then PARTCATALOGREGEN to regenerate it.
