A Dead End Cap Joint is used to cap the end of a pipe using a plug cut from a pipe of the same diameter.

Two templates are generated, one for the cap and one for the pipe being capped.

Parameter Constraints:

Joint Name:  name of this joint which is unique to this project or currently opened joints

Pipe OD: outside diameter of the pipe, must be a positive number

Pipe Wall: wall thickness of the pipe, must be a positive number, less than half Pipe OD

Cap OD: outside diameter of the cap, must be a positive number, must be equal or larger than Pipe OD

Cap Wall: wall thickness of the cap, must be a positive number, less than half Cap OD

The Cap parameters will match the Pipe parameters if the same size material is used for both components.  However, the cap can be made from material with a larger diameter than the pipe component.
