2 Agenda Who am I? What you will learn Solid Edge Capabilities Demonstrations Benefits of this topic How to Learn More Wednesday, 3:00-4:00 PM Page 2

3 Who am I? Ronnie Conerly Product Manager for Simulation and Equipment Layout Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Texas A&M University 26 years experience in CAD/CAE industry Worked at NASA s Marshall Space Flight Center as CAD/CAE consultant Managed engineering support contracts at MSFC, JSC, and KSC General Manager for Knight & Hale Game Calls and Carry-Lite Decoys Page 3

4 What you will learn Need something routed? This presentation introduces how to route: Pipes Tubes Solid Edge s assembly application contains multiple environments allowing you to design custom routing features to include in your designs. See how easy it is to route pipe and tube segments Available with Solid Edge Premium or separate licenses Page 4

5 Assembly Routing Solid Edge Assembly has several routing environments with functionality for specific routing applications. These environments include: XpresRoute Piping Tubing Frame Wire Harness All environments have common sketch and curve creations commands to drive the feature creation and editing Page 5

6 Assembly Routing Plant Layout Frames Tubes Piping Harness Page 6

7 Existing Path Creation Commands All routing environments have 3d Path creation commands PathXpres Line Arc Curve Keypoint Curve Split Element 3D Relationships 3D Dimensioning All commands will eventually be replaced by 3D sketching! Page 7

8 3D Sketching Added in ST7 Available in ALL 3d Modeling environments Can be used in all routing applications UI/Functionality similar to 2d sketching but 3D Can use Peer Edge locate to reference geometry outside the edited subassy Old commands to be sunsetted in the future Page 8

9 Peer Edge Locate Subassembly in-place creation Piping Subassemblies Tubing Subassemblies Wire Harness Subassemblies Frame Subassemblies Hold Shift Key when referencing higher level geometry Creates interpart links/references to geometry Page 9

11 Tubes Tubes are single continuous components driven by 3D paths Part files created on disc for each tube Inputs (SE Options controls default inputs or user can override defaults) Part Template File Location Filename Material Bend Radius - Global Outer Diameter Minimum Flat Length Wall Thickness (or Solid) Bend Tables/Reports for each tube New in ST7, Saved Settings New in ST7, Inter-Part Manager Page 11

12 Tube End Treatment Options End Treatment Options None Expand Flange Reduce Closed Page 12

13 Tubes UI Page 13

14 Fixed Length Flexible Hose Added in ST7, 3d curves can have fixed length values Length Value and Edit directional control Page 14

15 Piping Page 15

16 Pipes Pipe features contain pipes with corresponding fittings to match the pipe attributes Typically used with standard parts database Page 16

17 Pipes For Advanced Piping functionality check out Smap3D from CadPartner Page 17

18 Pipe Design Workflow Piping Route Command Select Path Step Select Path step Select a path to define the piping route Specify whether a gradient exists in the path (if any) and the maximum allowed gradient angle Click Accept button once done Page 18

19 Pipe Design Workflow Piping Route Command Assign Fittings/Attributes Step Assign Fittings/Attributes step Select a sphere to place a fitting from the Standard Parts Library or by browsing to a location The Standard Parts dialog will automatically apply a filter to display only those fittings that are valid to be placed or replaced at that location Click the Preview button Page 19

20 Pipe Design Workflow Piping Route Command Finish Step Clicking the Preview button will create the pipes Pipes embedded in the assembly Click the Finish button to complete the piping route Page 20

21 Pipe Edit Workflow Edit Fitting Select a single fitting Edit Definition Edit Fitting Edit Definition Edit Fitting If Edit Fitting is selected, the user is presented with options for that fitting Flip Fitting Penetration Cut Orientation with respect to pipe centerline Page 21 Replace fitting: Standard Parts Library Replace fitting: Browse from disk

22 Pipe Edit Workflow Edit Fitting If Edit Definition is selected, the user can go to Assign Fittings/Attributes step and edit multiple fittings by selecting the respective spheres Select these fittings to edit Page 22

23 Pipe Edit Workflow Edit Pipe Select a single pipe Edit Definition Edit Pipe Edit Definition Edit Pipe If Edit Pipe is selected, the user is presented with Piping Attributes dialog Choose pipe from Standard Parts Library Browse from disk Page 23

24 Pipe Edit Workflow Edit Pipe If Edit Definition is selected, the user can go to Assign Fittings/Attributes step and edit multiple pipes by selecting them Select these pipes to edit Page 24

25 Pipe Edit Workflow Invalid Fittings When a piping route is modified to change a pipe diameter or add/subtract a path segment, the fittings that were placed automatically will automatically be replaced The fittings that were placed manually will not be replaced automatically Solid Edge highlights the flange and displays a warning dialog Zoom to the problem fitting Browse the Standard Parts Library Browse a local folder Cancel the operation Page 25

26 Pipe Gradient Use the Pipe Gradient option to build this positive drain right in the pipe path Notice the path has a 92 degree angle In the Select Path step, select the Pipe Gradient option Enter the maximum gradient value to be allowed in this piping route up to +/- 20 degree maximum Page 26

27 Pipe Classification Pipe features contain pipes with corresponding fittings to match the pipe attributes Typically used with Piping Library/Standard Parts Can Browse for Fittings for files on disk We deliver with SE a PipeClass.txt file in the Preferences folder. Contains pipe specification information for querying the database Page 27

28 Piping Utility With the capability to place pipes and fittings from a local drive, we also need a tool to create the right coordinate systems and attributes required to define a pipe or a fitting This tool can be found under the piping utility folder In order for this tool to work, you have to have a Solid Edge file open such as the fitting Once the file is open, double-click PreparePipingComponents.exe Page 28

29 Piping Utility The following dialog presents the options that perform all the tasks necessary to prepare the model for correct positioning in a pipe path The first option determines the part type: prepare a fitting or a pipe Page 29

30 Piping Utility The next input is to determine the diameter information Page 30

31 Piping Utility The final step is to graphically select the two openings in the fitting It is important to identify the diameter at the depth in which the pipe will fit Page 31

32 Piping Utility Notice the coordinate systems are automatically created and added to the PathFinder, as well as the correct variable to the variable table Page 32
