- [Eric] The Design Check and Depth Check commands can be very helpful in identifying necessary edits for your pressure network. Let's see how they work. If you remember from a previous video, we removed the fittings at either end of this curved pipe here. But as I look at the junction of the two pipes, it looks like maybe we're exceeding the deflection here. So let's check that out. To do that, I'll click the pipe once to select the overall pressure network. And then I'll click it again to select that individual section of pipe. Then I'll come up to the ribbon and click Design Check. You can see the different parameters I can check for. Deflection, Diameter, Open connections, and Radius of curvature. Let's check Deflection and Radius of curvature. I'll click Okay. And I'll notice right away that there are warning symbols at either end of the pipe. And if I hover over them, you can see that my current deflection is…
