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

2015-XX-XX



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

Assembly Routing

Plant Layout

Frames Tubes Piping Harness

2015-XX-XX



Existing Path Creation Commands

• All routing environments have 3d Path creation commands

• PathXpres • Line • Arc • Curve • Keypoint Curve • Split Element

• 3D Relationships • 3D Dimensioning • All commands will eventually be replaced by 3D

sketching!

2015-XX-XX



3D Sketching

• Added in ST7 • Available in ALL 3d Modeling environments • Can be used in all routing applications • UI/Functionality similar to 2d sketching but 3D • Can use Peer Edge locate to reference geometry outside the edited subassy • Old commands to be sunsetted in the future

2015-XX-XX



Peer Edge Locate

• Subassembly in-place creation • Piping Subassemblies • Tubing Subassemblies • Wire Harness Subassemblies • Frame Subassemblies

• Hold Shift Key when referencing higher level geometry

• Creates interpart links/references to geometry

2015-XX-XX



Tubing

2015-XX-XX



Tubes

• Tubes are single continuous components driven by 3D paths • Part files created on disc for each tube • Inputs (SE Options controls default inputs or user can override defaults)

• Part Template • File Location • Filename • Material • Bend Radius - Global • Outer Diameter • Minimum Flat Length • Wall Thickness (or Solid)

• Bend Tables/Reports for each tube • New in ST7, Saved Settings • New in ST7, Inter-Part Manager

2015-XX-XX



Tube End Treatment Options

• End Treatment Options

None Expand Flange Reduce Closed

2015-XX-XX



Tubes UI

Fixed Length Flexible Hose

Added in ST7, 3d curves can have fixed length values • Length Value and Edit directional control

2015-XX-XX



Piping

2015-XX-XX



Pipes

• Pipe features contain pipes with corresponding fittings to match the pipe attributes Typically used with standard parts database

2015-XX-XX



Pipes

For Advanced Piping functionality check out Smap3D from CadPartner www.smap3d.com

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

2015-XX-XX



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

2015-XX-XX



Pipe Design Workflow – Piping Route Command – Finish Step

• Clicking the Preview button will create the pipes • Pipes embedded in the assembly

• Click the Finish button to complete the piping route

2015-XX-XX



Pipe Edit Workflow – Edit Fitting

• Select a single fitting • Edit Definition • Edit Fitting

• If “Edit Fitting” is selected, the user is presented with options for that fitting

Edit Definition Edit Fitting

Flip Fitting

Replace fitting: Standard Parts Library

Replace fitting: Browse from disk

Penetration Cut Orientation with respect to pipe centerline

2015-XX-XX



Pipe Edit Workflow – Edit Fitting

• If “Edit Definition” is selected, the user can go to “Assign Fittings/Attributes” step and edit multiple fittings by selecting the respective spheres Select these

fittings to edit

2015-XX-XX



Pipe Edit Workflow – Edit Pipe

• Select a single pipe • Edit Definition • Edit Pipe

• If “Edit Pipe” is selected, the user is presented with “Piping Attributes” dialog • Choose pipe from

• Standard Parts Library • Browse from disk

Edit Definition Edit Pipe

2015-XX-XX



Pipe Edit Workflow – Edit Pipe

• If “Edit Definition” is selected, the user can go to “Assign Fittings/Attributes” step and edit multiple pipes by selecting them Select these pipes to edit

2015-XX-XX



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

2015-XX-XX



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

2015-XX-XX



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

2015-XX-XX



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”

2015-XX-XX



Piping Utility

• The following dialog presents the options that perform all the tasks necessary to prepare the model for correct positioning in a pipe path

• The first option determines the part type: prepare a fitting or a pipe

2015-XX-XX



Piping Utility

• The next input is to determine the diameter information

2015-XX-XX



Piping Utility

• The final step is to graphically select the two openings in the fitting • It is important to identify the diameter at the depth in which the pipe will fit

2015-XX-XX



Piping Utility

• Notice the coordinate systems are automatically created and added to the PathFinder, as well as the correct variable to the variable table
