EP automatically calculate Horizontal Ground heat exhcanger trenches

Hello, I'm studying about horizontal ground exchanger.

I used 'GroundHeatExchanger:HorizontalTrench', can decision numbers of trenches, and space between of them.

I tried to use capillary tube for ground heat exchanger, but it's simulation time take so long time.(about 6 hours)

Then I found another method that 'PipingSystem:Underground' have more detailed inputs than 'GroundHeatExchanger:HorizontalTrench', it function as horizontal trenches.

But I can't figure out how to set the number of trenches and the spacing.

Could you tell me which parts?
