The forum posts associated with this idea seem to be related to two major areas:
1. Using the API to Get pressure pipe, fitting and appurtenance data. This should all be available in the Civil 3D 2021.2 Update.
2. Using the API for AddPipe, Fitting, and Appurtenance on an existing pressure network. AddPipe through API should be doable, because the previous limitation of Partsize has been solved. But adding a new Fitting and Appurtenance are still missing in API.
@TimYarris What you indicated as an addition could have been done in previous versions through reflection. I think that you are just some of the classes that were "internal" made as "public". But this is of little use. This does not allow software simulation of pressure networks. Essential methods for adding fittings and valves are missing. We have a need for detailed modeling of pressure networks, we have ideas on how to automatically model complex typical nodes of such networks. The tools of the pressure network Civil 3D are suitable for this in terms of displaying and transmitting data via Shortcuts. But the lack of the necessary methods for the full-fledged creation of such networks programmatically bury these ideas in the bud. The only solution is to use Revit for detailed network construction. There it is inconvenient for Civil 3D users. But in Revit at least there are all the necessary tools for the software construction of pressure networks. It is sad that the 10th anniversary is coming soon, when pressure networks appeared in Civil, and there is still no software interface for their full-fledged creation. And this is not to mention that it would be nice to add methods for changing the objects of the pressure network. But it already looks like fantasy ...
Today I discovered that the necessary methods for creating a pressure network have been added to the API! Apparently, this happened in some update for the 2022 version. I tested the creation of pipes and a connecting fitting between them - everything works! Tears of happiness roll down my cheeks and I say thank you very much for doing this! ))
