Pipe Routing
Create and modify pipe routes quickly and easily
by selecting a start point, an end point, and any
number of intermediate points to define the route.
Complete associativity means that pipe routes
automatically update when the D assembly
changes. Constrained routing gives users precise
control over the location of piping runs using D
Sketch tools. Rules-based routing enables users
to automatically adhere to design rules, such
as minimum or maximum length criteria, while
creating and modifying pipes.
Flexible Hose
Make sure flexible hose and fittings fit properly
using a D digital prototype that drives accurate
manufacturing documentation. The system inserts
appropriate hose fittings from the Content Center
and checks for minimum bend radius based on
the selected hose style. Hose lengths are updated
automatically for use in length roll-up commands.
Custom Bends in Pipe Runs
In real-world piping designs, users may need
to bend a pipe rather than insert an elbow. The
Custom Bend command provides flexibility and
control even for nonstandard designs. Create
bends of custom radius and angle with the familiar
methods used for rigid tubing.
Inventor enables users to reduce the time required
to design tubing, piping, and flexible hose.
Tube and Pipe Design
The rules-based routing
tools in Inventor select
the appropriate fittings and
help ensure that
pipe runs comply with
design rules for minimum
and maximum length,
round-o increments, and
bend radius.
Flanged Pipe Style
Make sure the correct fittings and gaskets are used
when designing pipe runs with flanged fittings.
Inventor automatically populates the pipe run
with flanged components, replacing couplers with
flanged components and the corresponding gaskets.
