Section 1, Introduction:

1.1 Description:

MSI Extended Library modules are designed to enhance the usability of the Solidworks Pipe Routing

Add-In. This manual uses the Schedule 40 Stainless Steel extended library as an example but can be

used to install a number of MSI extended libraries. See Appendix D for specific component files for each

of the library modules.

Additional MSI extended libraries are expected to be developed. Check back periodically for new library

modules at: http://www.msioregon.com/SW_Products.html

If required components do not appear to be offered, please contact MSI for custom development,

availability, and pricing: [email protected]

1.2 The need to verify accuracy:

The user must check all critical dimensions before use:

1. For the sake of file size and model efficiency, many components have been "simplified". One

example of this is that the ribs on various pipe fittings have not been included. The user needs

to evaluate if these simplifications are acceptable within their designs.

2. While standards may apply, such as the ASME 16 series there may be considerable variations

with actually purchased components. Some sizes (especially larger sizes) have not been verified

with standards. Consideration should always be made with NPT fittings since thread

engagement may vary in actual use.

3. Many dimensions for a number of pipe components are not published or are difficult to

determine. Some models dimensions have been derived or estimated.

1.3 The Need to Verify Availability:

All sizes should be verified to have a reasonable delivery before use.

1.4 General Comments:

No engineering advice is being offered for designs or for the use and selection of any of the extended

library components.

All extended library components use custom "Description" properties to automatically populate route

drawing BOM's. Therefore a Description column may need to be added to drawing BOM's. The result

will be that the description for all piping components within the extended library will be automatically

populated within BOM's. Description properties may need to be modified through editing the

$PRP@Description values in the design tables of the components.

mailto:[email protected]

The color, material and other minor changes have also been made to SW standard routing components

within the extended library.

MSI extended library parts follow MSI's general guidelines (Appendix A).

1.5 Please Do Not distribute MSI extended Library files:

The user is free to use these components during the course of normal engineering designs. A

considerable amount of time and effort has been spent in developing the MSI Pipe Library. Therefore,

the user is asked to respect the End User License Agreement, especially to not to distribute or upload

MSI part component files to websites or to non-licensed users (please see Appendix C).

1.6 System Requirements:

Solidworks Premium 2013 or above with the "Piping and Routing" add in.

1.7 Reference Material:

Links to product Catalogs and design charts have been added to most of the Design Binders. While MSI

makes no claim of ownership or for accuracy these links are added to assist in the design process.

These references materials are also available through: MSI Design References

To add a quick reference to your desktop, open the reference above and drag the "Web Symbol" (as is

shown below) to the desk top. This will allow the references web page to be quickly displayed.

Section 2, Installation of MSI Extended Libraries:

2.1 Solidworks Standard Piping Design Library Rules:

Generally, when using Solidworks Pipe Routing there are three important rules that should be

understood and followed:

Rule 1: All routing and piping files should be located under the Solidworks standard Routing Library

Path, C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\ Piping. (If a different

version than SolidWorks 2013 is being used the path should be modified appropriately. As an

example: C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2014\design library\routing\ Piping )

Rule 2: No two part files within this path should ever have the same file name. Therefore any

routing components that have been copied and improved must be renamed before use in any pipe

routs.

Rule 3: Once used in a design, the name and directory locations of individual Piping Components

should not be changed. If changes are made, links will be broken and will need to be manually

corrected.

2.2 Installing the MSI Extended Library:

Note: Refer to Table on page 10 for MSI modules.

Step 1: Download and unzip the MSI Library file into a "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library" directory. (Note:

This directory is not mandatory. The library files are 2013 but can be copied into later versions of

Solidworks.)

The resulting directory should be as is shown below. (Note: SW 2013 is used as an example throughout

this tutorial. Newer versions of Solidworks will need to be modified accordingly).

Step 2: This PDF file should be opened and followed to complete the remaining installation.

Step 3: Double Click on "SS pipe.exe" (or the appropriate file provided- see table on page 10) which will

begin the Unzip process. When the dialogue box opens, verify that the "Extract to" location is:

C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\ Piping\pipes. (The SolidWorks

2013 designation may need to be changed appropriately for newer versions).

Step 4: Double Click on "SS NPT.exe" (or the appropriate file provided- see table on page 10) which will

begin the Unzip process. When the dialogue box opens verify that the "Extract to" location is:

C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\ Piping\pipe\<Directory Name>.

(The SolidWorks 2013 designation may need to be changed appropriately for newer versions. The

Directory Name should be one of the directories shown below. As an example for the SS NPT files need

to be unzipped into the directory: ...\Piping\Sch 40 SS).

If the target directory and some component files already exist, the best practice is to have the original

files renamed as "copies".

2.3 Setting up Pipe Routing:

Step 1: "Pipe Routing" needs to be added in within Solidworks by selecting the Add-ins as is shown

below:

When the dialogue box below is displayed. Check the Solidworks Routing options as is shown below:

Note: Routing is only available in Solidworks Premium and above.

When Routing is activated, and a part or assembly or drawing file is opened, "Routing" will be displayed

in the toolbar:

The Routing menu will reveal the following options:

Step 2, open the "Routing Library Manager":

Step 3 When the Routing Library Manager is open, the Routing Library and Routing Template directory

locations need to be defined. Select the Routing File Locations and Settings Tab (as is shown below):

The window shown below should be visible.

If the Routing Library directory path is not correct, use the <Browse> buttons on the right (arrow A

below) and select the required path. When done the Routing Library directory should be as is shown

below (refer to section 2.2 above for more information).

The template directory should also be set (see arrow B below). Again, the use of the <Browse> button

(towards the right) should be used to identify the location to the MSI route Templates location. This file

can be moved to any location on the HD but the "C:\MSI Routing Library" directory is a good location.

The routing template path could be, "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library\MSI Route Templates.asmdot".

As subsequent versions of Solidworks are loaded, new templates files can be added but they must have

a different name. Such as, "2013 MSI Route Templates.asmdot" or "2014 MSI Route

Templates.asmdot".

Step 4: Once the Routing File Locations and Settings are correct, they should be saved (refer to the right

arrow shown below).

Selecting the <Save Settings> button will allow a location for the Routing Settings. A good location for

the first Solidworks version is "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library". However, as subsequent versions of

Solidworks are installed, additional directories may be needed.

Step 5, Setup Piping and Tubing Database:

After the Directories have been properly defined, and the files have been copied, the Piping and Tubing

Database needs to be rebuilt. Under the Routing Library Manager, (1st) select the Piping and Tubing

Database Tab. (2nd) select the Import Data button. (3rd) select the Synchronize button.

This process may take several minutes but when the process is successful, piping components that have

been added under the Routing Library directory path will be included into the database.

Note: If any components in the MSI Extended Library are added, the Piping and Tubing Database will

need to rebuilt.

Step 6, Setting the Route Properties Template:

When the Routing Library directory locations have been properly designated, the MSI Routing

Templates will be automatically loaded. This location is important for loading, saving and reloading if

needed.

1st: As shown below, select the "Route Properties" tab.

2nd: Add New, or Copy and Edit the appropriate "template name" as shown in the Chart below. The

"MSI SS NPT" Template is used for these instructions and is for illustration purposes only.

3rd: By using the browse button, locate and select the appropriate file under the "...piping\pipes\<Pipe

name from chart below>" directory. If the file is not available, the appropriate MSI Pipe module may

need to be downloaded and installed.

4th: By using the browse button, locate and select the appropriate file under the

"...Piping\<Directory>\<Elbow from chart below>" directory. If the file is not available, the appropriate

MSI Pipe module may need to be downloaded and installed.

5th: Save the Route Properties Template. When saved, (if everything is correct) the updated file will be

saved at the "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library" location).

Step 7, Design Library Setup:

With the files copied to the appropriate directories and the location of the Template directory defined,

the library parts can be added to the Design Library.

First, check if "Piping" is in the Design Library (see below). Note that while the "Piping" directory is

located under the "Routing" directory, both can be added to the Design Library. By adding the "Piping"

directory, a short cut is creates.

If the "Piping" library does not appear in the Design Library (as is shown above) select the <Add File

Location> (the right arrow shown below). The dialogue box will appear and the

"C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 3013\design library\routing\piping" folder should be selected.

When "OK" is selected the components in the Piping directory will be available in the Design Library.

Step 8, Verify the Piping Component location in the Design Library:

If multiple versions of SW have been loaded, the Piping Component Path should be verified for each

version of the SW Design Library.

Note: If the piping component paths are directed for the wrong version of SW, piping components in the

library will be updated and resaved to the newer version of SW. If this occurs the saved components will

not be useable for the older version of SW. If there are any warning messages about updating pipe

component files during an attempt to save a pipe assembly or part file, DO NOT save. The work will be

lost, but the file should be closed without saving and redone after the path has been corrected.

If even only some of the piping components are updated to a newer version of SW, it is recommended

that the entire piping library be restored from the original download or from appropriate backup files to

the appropriate version of SW. The extended library files are in version 2013 and can be easily refreshed

by following the first step under 2.2 to any version of SW 2013 or later.

To verify the path of the Design Library, right click on the Design Library, "Piping" icon (as is shown

below). The dialogue box should appear. Left Click on the "Open Folder". The Windows Explorer

window should open and reveal the location/ version of SW that is associated with the piping

components. If the piping component directory is located "under" the correct version of SW (shown

below, to the right) then Cancel out of the window (by selecting the "X" in the upper right corner of the

Window Explorer window). If the version is not correct, then the "Piping" location in the Design Library

tree should be "Deleted". This can easily be done by selecting "Delete" (also shown below to the left)

and then re-adding the Piping Location by following the directions provided under "Step 7, Design

Library Setup:" (described in the section above).

If the correct path was selected the Design Library should have the MSI Piping directories and sub-

categories shown below.

When each of the sub-directories are selected in the Design Library, the available components will be

shown in the bottom pane. The components can then be used by "dragging-n-dropping" into the

project assembly model:

Step 9, Add shortcuts and setup the Solidworks Tool bar:

Right click in the Solidworks toolbar and select "Piping" ("A" arrow shown below). This will

activate the Piping Tool Bar.

Right click in an open space (again) inside of the Solidworks Toolbar and select "Commands".

The drop down box shown below should appear. When "View" selected, some of the piping

Icons will be displayed.

Drag the "View Routing Points" and the "View Sketches" buttons to the tool bar. These buttons

will later be handy when working within Routing projects.

Step 10, Save the Solidworks settings:

Once the above changes have been made it is recommended to save the Solidworks Settings:

Start/All programs/Solidworks 2013/Solidworks Tools/Copy Settings Wizard. Save the settings

in a location where they can later be restored. One possible location could be the "C:\2013 MSI

Routing Library" directory.

2.4 Some Common Errors:

2.4.1 If the following warning appears when starting a new pipe route:

If some of the setup steps described above have not been implemented correctly, the error box

below may be displayed:

The above error could be the cause of a number of setup issues.

1. The part has not been set up properly. The steps to load and setup the Routing Library

Manager and Routing component Wizard should be verified.

2. The part has not been added into the Piping and Tubing Database. This can be corrected by

processing the part through the "Routing component Wizard" or by Synchronizing the

Database.

3. The template has not been setup properly. The routing Template should be verified though

the Route Properties Manager. However, sometimes the error message appears when steps

1 and 2 are correct and the Routing Template is correct. In such a case, it may be necessary

to select a different elbow in the Routing Template (verify that the correct template has

been selected) and then re-select the correct elbow the second time. Apparently, the

process of the re-selection refreshes and corrects an internal error to the Template.

However, if the same elbow, even if it is correct is reselected, the Template will not be

updated.

4. Many times this warning can be ignored. To continue:

a. If everything is correct, select "OK".

b. Open the Select Template drop down (A below):

c. The desired type of pipe should be selected (as shown by B above). Continuing on, a

short pipe "stub" should be created.

2.4.2 If the following warning appears when starting a new pipe route by dragging and

dropping:

This warning does not appear often and it is not clear why it is generated. A work around is to

save and close the current assembly, then to open the part in question. While the part in

question is open, re-open the assembly and reattempt to drag and drop the piping component.

Section 3, using the extended Library components in Pipe Routes:

If you are familiar with SolidWorks Pipe Routing, the extended library modules are ready for use.

If you are new to Pipe Routing, it is recommended that you purchase and work through the MSI

SolidWorks Piping tutorial. This tutorial is available at http://www.msioregon.com/SW_Products.html

3.1 Using the MSI SS Sch 40 Extended Library (example):

When the library and Solidworks are setup properly the deign library will include "Sch 40 SS". These

components can be used per standard SolidWorks practices:


When Pipe Routs are started with SS components, when the Route Properties dialogue Box is displayed,

(shown below) MSI SS NPT should be selected.

Section 4, Appendices:

Appendix A, MSI Library Rules:

1. Whenever reasonable part files should include multiple configurations of parts.

2. Design Tables should be used and a "Description" column for automatically filling in Bill of

Material tables ($PRP@Description).

3. The Custom Description Property is useful to identify if a part file is a single part or if it includes

a number of configurations (example: 1/2" to 24" Slip Flange would indicate a multi

configuration part file).

4. PDF's with catalog and or critical design information should be noted or linked in the Design

Journal.

5. To allow for efficient use of library parts, the number of components per family should be kept

in groups of about 20 components. Thus eliminating excessive scrolling. Where it is

appropriate for assemblies to be in the library, all parts that are not usually individually used

should be placed into a sub-folder under the "parent" folder. The number of parts in the "Parts"

folder may be more than 20 since these individual parts are not commonly used.

Appendix B, MSI Flanges and Gaskets:

At least in the older versions of Solidworks, MSI has found flanges and gaskets to be problematic. The

following components have been developed as a work around for these issues:

- SS NPT Flange. 150 lb flange to 1/2" to 24" NPT (similar to a standard 150 lb flange where

flanged fittings need to transition to NPT pipe).

- SS NPT Flange 125. 150 lb flange to 1/2" to 24" NPT (similar to a standard 150 lb flange with a

.125 thk. Gasket). See "MSI SolidWorks Piping tutorial" for further details and use.

- SS NPT Flange 187. 150 lb flange to 1/2" to 24" NPT (similar to a standard 187 lb flange with a

.187 thk. Gasket). See "MSI SolidWorks Piping tutorial" for further details and use.

Note: .125" thick and .187" thick gaskets can be found in the MSI Welded Extended library.
