SOLIDWORKS Pipe and Tube Routing Overview
The SOLIDWORKS Pipe Routing and Tubing Training 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.
The SOLIDWORKS Pipe & Tube Routing training course will help you to:
- Create routed systems for pipe and tube applications
- Create your own library parts which can be dragged and dropped into your pipe and tube routes
- Create drawings of your routed systems with route information added
Examples
Example designs you will learn how to create during the course
