Piping Basic


Pro/Piping enables you to create 3-D piping designs as part of an integrated product development process.  Pro/Piping is used for parametrically creating and routing solid pipe parts in Pro/Engineer assemblies to and from assembly equipment.  Piping designs can either be specification driven or non-specification driven.

Specification driven designs involve using piping specifications and automated modelling tasks;this method is practiced by the Plant, Shipbuilding, and Aerospace industries.  Non-specification driven piping involves creating piping systems using manual tasks, and is often used when designing simple or flexible piping systems. 

In addition, 2-D schematic driven design information from Routed System Designer in the form of Process & Instrumentation diagram (P&ID) can be used ot pass design information into 3-D piping designs in Pro/ENGINEER. 

Below are four different exercises you can complete to increase you skills and understanding of Pro/Piping.  Depending on the piping design size and application, you will chose one or a combination of methods to apply Pro/Piping

Exercise 1: Routing Mechanical Piping Lines

Exercise 2: Routing Specification Driven Pipe Lines

Exercise 3: Routing Schematic Driven Pipe Lines

Exercise 4: Piping Documentation
