add your first run, the tools specific to creating tube and pipe runs in an
assembly are displayed.
The following image shows the application window that is displayed once a
piping run is added to a new assembly file. Tube & Pipe-specific tools are added
to the standard toolbar, Model browser, and panel bars are enabled.
The features added by the Tube & Pipe environment include:
The tool set for the master runs assembly environment.
Enables you to add new individual runs to the master
Tube & Pipe Runs
panel bar
runs assembly, define tube and pipe styles, set Gravity,
and output the ISOGEN data.
Use the panel bar title to switch between the Tube &
Pipe Runs and Assembly panel bars.
The tool set for the master runs assembly environment.
Enables you to add new individual runs to the master
Tube & Pipe panel
bar
runs assembly, define tube and pipe styles, and output
the ISOGEN data.
Use the panel bar title to switch between the Tube &
Pipe, Tube & Pipe Runs, and Assembly panel bars.
The tool set for the hose assembly environment when
the flexible hosing style uses the subassembly structure
Tube & Pipe Hose
panel bar
to contain the hose route. It does not provide Tube &
Pipe specific tools.
Use the panel bar title to switch between the Tube &
Pipe Hose, Tube & Pipe, Tube & Pipe Runs, and Assem-
bly panel bars.
The tool set when the tube, pipe, or hose route envi-
ronment is active. There are several ways to enter the
Tube & Pipe Route
panel bar
route environment, such as creating new routes in a
pipe run, double-clicking an existing route, and right-
clicking a route and selecting Edit.
Enables switching between the Model browser, Content
Center Favorites, and Representations.
Browser toolbar
Contains the content of the tube and pipe assembly
in a hierarchy, along with the main Tube & Pipe Runs
Model browser
subassembly. The main run acts as a container for all
routes and runs and the components created or placed
in the routed system.
