Problem with Flow Direction in Tee

Hello everyone,
I am new to the world of Revit API and currently working on an MEP project that involves automating the calculation of parameters for a hydraulic system. The system comprises a common pipe network, but unfortunately, there is no sanitary element at the end of this, and I cannot modify it. Consequently, the flow direction in the pipes cannot be determined; it is always set as BiDirectional.
The major challenge arises when my program encounters a Tee in the system, as I need to specify whether it is IN or OUT. Is there any alternative solution to address this issue?
For more details, I am calculating the flow drop and speed in order to determine the smallest pipe diameter required. Since there is no sanitary element at the final point, all these parameters must be calculated.
As you can see from the image, pipes without connections indicate the presence of a Sanitary Element.
