What you will learn
Need something routed? This presentation introduces how to route: • Pipes • Tubes
• Solid Edge’s assembly application contains multiple environments allowing you to design custom routing features to include in your designs. See how easy it is to route pipe and tube segments
• Available with Solid Edge Premium or separate licenses

Assembly Routing
Solid Edge Assembly has several routing environments with functionality for specific routing applications. These environments include:
• XpresRoute • Piping • Tubing
• Frame • Wire Harness
• All environments have common sketch and curve creations commands to drive the feature creation and editing

Pipe Design Workflow – Piping Route Command – Select Path Step
• ‘Select Path’ step • Select a path to define the piping route
• Specify whether a gradient exists in the path (if
any) and the maximum allowed gradient angle
• Click Accept button once done

Pipe Design Workflow – Piping Route Command – Assign Fittings/Attributes Step
• Assign Fittings/Attributes step • Select a sphere to place a fitting from the Standard Parts
Library or by browsing to a location • The Standard Parts dialog will automatically apply a filter
to display only those fittings that are valid to be placed or replaced at that location
• Click the Preview button

Pipe Edit Workflow – Invalid Fittings
• When a piping route is modified to change a pipe diameter or add/subtract a path segment, the fittings that were placed automatically will automatically be replaced
• The fittings that were placed manually will not be replaced automatically
• Solid Edge highlights the flange and displays a warning dialog • Zoom to the problem fitting • Browse the Standard Parts Library • Browse a local folder • Cancel the operation

Pipe Gradient
• Use the “Pipe Gradient” option to build this positive drain right in the pipe path • Notice the path has a 92 degree angle
• In the “Select Path” step, select the “Pipe Gradient” option
• Enter the maximum gradient value to be allowed in this piping route • up to +/- 20 degree maximum

Pipe Classification
• Pipe features contain pipes with corresponding fittings to match the pipe attributes
• Typically used with Piping Library/Standard Parts • Can Browse for Fittings for files on disk
• We deliver with SE a PipeClass.txt file in the Preferences folder. • Contains pipe specification information for querying the database

Piping Utility
• With the capability to place pipes and fittings from a local drive, we also need a tool to create the right coordinate systems and attributes required to define a pipe or a fitting
• This tool can be found under the piping utility folder
• In order for this tool to work, you have to have a Solid Edge file open such as the fitting
• Once the file is open, double-click “PreparePipingComponents.exe”
