SOLIDWORKS - Routing Pipe 101

See more at: www.goengineer.com/products/so...
Using SOLIDWORKS Routing for Pipe Design learn how the interface works and how editing the route is a simple 3D sketch with very powerful features. Use flanges, Straight T and Valves to complete the design. Separate the design for shipping by placing flanges where the spools will be taken apart, and if the flange happens to be welded to a T, then just use the option to Remove Pipe, and the smart pipe automatically adjusts. Then use the Spools feature to group the components accordingly and prep the top level for an automated drawing. With the Spool Drawing feature, SOLIDWORKS will automatically create individual drawings for each of your spools with automatic balloons and Bills of Materials. Not all automated drawings look perfect, so simple magnetic lines and editing the balloons for spools will make your drawings look great and make for easy manufacturing. Quick Tip presented by Steven Darcey of GoEngineer.

Thanks. Feel's like class room training and very simple and clearly explained. Touched many commands and the final result comes with good spools drawing sheets.

Please help. I have problem adding Solidworks Routing. Templates cannot be created in the present location. I know what the locations of my two templates are. I tried the two. But still no. Thanks.

[@kenw1835]

I don't have the solidworks routing option in add-ins

[@MiikeGibson]

Excellent tutorial. It appears Solid Works runs great on your machine. When I enter the design library it takes ages to load. Care to share your PC specs?

[@goengineer]

Hi Mike, We run Dell machines exclusively, NVidia Quadro graphics cards, 3.0+ GHz CPUs, and 16-32 GB of RAM. We find that slowness specifically with the Design Library sources back to where the Design Library is stored. If it is on a network drive it will load much slower than local storage.

[@michaelzajac5284]

Dear Go Engineer Please, I obviously have question about that U-Joint Bolt Kit. Add a pipe to find parts that fit.

[@goengineer]

If you would like help with this question, contact our tech support team for assistance at goengineer.com/contact Thank you!

[@angrylyrics103]

Does this Library supports in ugnx???

[@WOOTYNGFENG]

Hi...any update regarding the gyroscope ? I am still unable to find it.

[@maheshn9426]

I face problem in route properties, i.e some templates are not present? Can anyone resolve this problem if u faced?

[@BRANDONDEJAGER]

Please specify the you have to start in an assembly mode.

[@JohnDoe-gv9jv]

When I save the 6." flange in assembly mode it converts to metric. When I try to dimension everything its mm not inches. But I save everything in inches. Just at the point of saving the flange in assembly, it goes back to mm? Can you help? Thanks

[@goengineer]

[@BRANDONDEJAGER]

Other than that GREAT VIDEO !!!!

[@goengineer]

[@sobirbasith8460]

Is the library already equipped in solidwork?

[@goengineer]

It is included with Solidworks Premium!! It gets installed when the Routing option is checked upon install.

[@Shin-nf4nc]

how can I starting a routing without fitting or flange?

[@minhthanhdo7400]

I LIKE IT

[@johnlanggie2561]

where can we download the components part? flange, Tee,elbow, valve and etc.

[@goengineer]

They are included with Solidworks Premium Licenses, you should see them automatically in your “Design Library outing”. I don’t know of any location online where you can get them. Some you may be able to extract from the Solidworks Training Files for Routing - All SOLIDWORKS Training Files | Training Files | SOLIDWORKS Hope this helps!!

[@107_shubham6]

i have one question my design library don't have this much flange design only sorf and sown flanges are available how can I access these blind flanges for my project

[@yafialhadi9721]

same here. up

[@drafterengineeringsigk]

In my design library there is no flanges folder, how to add this folder sir..?

[@kamalarunashanthikarunarat4951]

Hi There could you please advice me how to update design library with table E flange and other components with same flange configarations. . thanks.

[@goengineer]

I would use one of the existing flanges in the Library and Copy it, then modify the dimensions in the table to meet the E flange specs. Once the part is ready run it through the Routing Component Wizard (SOLIDWORKS - Routing Component Wizard - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmHPdnaLma9lpas) . Then it will be in your library and ready to use!!

[@kamalarunashanthikarunarat4951]

Thnak you very muck for your reply

[@fabiancrombeen7904]

We have to number every connection. Flance , treaded, welds and so. how can you do that?

[@goengineer]

There is not a really good way to do that with only SOLIDWORKS Routing on it’s own, this is one of the reason they introduced the SOLIDWORKS Electrical suite of products. This way you can create a schematic P&ID, and then in Electrical 3D (SOLIDWORKS Add-In), you can connect to the same Project and Route the P&ID with all of the corresponding ID’s. There are also some 3rd party apps like Smap3D and SolidPlant3D.

Hi Jocelyne! It looks like you are already subscribed to our channel :) Keep a look out for more great tutorials to be posted in the future.

[@terrablader]

is this available with standard license?

[@goengineer]

Sorry, but no… Routing functionality will only be available in the SOLIDWORKS Premium license. Here is a link to the CAD Matrix - www.goengineer.com/solidworks/3d-cad#matrix

could you solve it? I have the same problem

[@parvatiiv7664]

I still won't adjust the angle of the parts. and I don't know how to turn on the gyroscope.

[@goengineer]

Hey Parvati, after you place the part sometimes the triad will show up like it did in the video. However, if it does not, you can right click the part and select "Move with Triad" this will allow you to move the part the same way as was done in the video

How rotate valve,tee in this video first valve is rotate some deegree

[@mehmetsigak9073]

use the TAB button in keyboard

[@zulfiqarbaihaqi4671]

How to close/open the valve?

[@goengineer]

You would have to create a valve assembly, and then configurations to show the valve in an opened or closed state. Take a look at this video, and start at time: 14:12 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6famaGCgaqensk

[@flexibil]

this video flanges weld is there lapped flanges with collar for routıng pıpıng

[@goengineer]

I do not believe that design is in the default library. However you can create one and add it into the routing library with the routing component wizard.

[@muhannadalhazmi8341]

what you press here to show the part before drop it in 0:53

[@goengineer]

I do hear a key being pressed there but you should not have to press anything, just drag the parts in from the library.

[@piyushshewale9362]

My system isn't showing gyroscope on valves

[@leyluwka]

Go to Options - Routing - and activate Use tripod to position and orient

[@luisedery4547]

Why your library has a lot more components than mine?

[@goengineer]

Hi Luis, Additional components have been added to the library beyond the default routing library. This is why you see additional options in this video.

[@luisedery4547]

Thank you!!!

[@ashokdaiya9190]

I have some problem as in video bends appear as yellow but I have red but tee and other stuff borrow from library appers yellow and after I exit it the red one disappears in the final output. Can you tell me solution of it?

[@goengineer]

Hi Ashok, If the radius of the bend does not equal the bend radius of the default elbow that was selected (@1:36 minutes in video), then the system will not be able to place the correct elbow on the route. I’m guessing you are using a custom elbow. You may need to make sure you use the Routing Library to add your elbow to the library with all of the needed sketches, attributes, and C-Points. If this does not fix your issue then we would encourage you to contact your local Technical Support company to open an investigation for a fix. You can find out who that is from the link below: www.solidworks.com/sw/purchase/varlocator.htm
