Introduction to SOLIDWORKS Pipe Routing
SOLIDWORKS Premium’s routing tools simplify the design of process pipework, tubes, ducts, and cabling. Starting with drag-and-drop fittings, users can define route sizes and use the auto-route tool to connect pipelines efficiently, avoiding collisions and snapping components into place. The system automates isometric drawings with dimensions, balloons, and bills of materials. Complex layouts can follow building geometry, split into spools for manufacturing, and export PCF files. A routing library manager ensures standardisation and compliance. Driven by simple sketches, modifications update routes automatically, making pipework design fast, accurate, and adaptable.
