To model a branch connection on a reducer, follow these steps:
Step 1: Split the reducer by adding node 3 and modifying the intermediate pipe 4-3 diameter
Step 2: Add reducers at nodes 3 and 4
Step 3: Create branch connection points by adding nodes 5 and 6 spaced 1 mm apart. Extend pipe 3-4 length by 2 mm
Step 4: Add the branch pipe at node 5 and insert a stub-in, joint, or custom tee at node 5
