The SOLIDWORKS Premium package contains more complex piping and routing features, which enable designers to integrate piping and tubing early on, ensuring operability and serviceability and avoiding extra costs. This course teaches how to use the SOLIDWORKS Premium routing tools for piping and tubing applications. Start by learning exactly what routing is and how it is used. Instructor Erin Winick then explores making routes, sketching pipes, auto-routing, and editing piping. She adds coverings and features such as weld gaps and valves, and creates pipe drawings.
She also covers designing with flexible tubing, which is measured, assembled, and routed differently than pipes. After completion of this course, users should understand all basic functionality of piping and routing in SOLIDWORKS, including the related parts libraries. Instructor.

Course Transcript - Instructor The creation and management of pipes and tubes in a CAD program can be difficult without the help of added tools. From the creation of the paths that pipes will follow, to the additions of the fittings in your design, learning routing specific add-ons for your modeling software can help save you time and streamline your design process. Hi, I'm Erin Winick.
I am the founder of a 3D modeling and end of manufacturing company, and have a background in mechanical engineering. In this course, I'm going to take you through learning the basics of using the SolidWorks routing add-in to work with pipes and tubes. I'm going to show you how to create pipes through 3D sketching, as well as how to use autoroute tools to make your modeling process much simpler. We are also going to look at the different fittings SolidWorks routing has built in, and how we can insert them into our routes. In the end, learning the basics of SolidWorks routing will simplify your modeling of pipes and tubes. It will allow you to create piping systems that are both easy to edit and share with other team members. By going through this course, you'll be ready to take advantage of these tools.
