SOLIDWORKS ROUTING – PIPING AND TUBING

The SOLIDWORKS Pipe and Tube Routing course explains how to create, edit and manage pipe and tube routes, from the critical routing components and their design requirements to the sub-assemblies that contain the routes.

Pipe skids and weldments are also briefly covered along with creating walkthrough animations of your pipe assemblies and plant.

Objectifs:

SOLIDWORKS Routing – Piping and Tubing teaches how to use the Routing component included in SOLIDWORKS Premium to create pipes, as well as rigid and flexible tubing. Learn how to use libraries of flanges, tees, valves and reducers to flesh out a fluid route. Also covered is making detailed drawings with a list of components needed to run a route.
