help solidworks routing....

[Gio_RS]

Hi, I have to make two connections between 2 pairs of threaded holes (two pipes of small diameter),I do not have to use flanges or special valves but only these two pipes so it should be an uncomplicated job:redface:; I thought I used solidworks routing, only that is the first time I use it and I don't know how to move ,in fact I'm also reading the solidworks help. Would you know how to give me some indications about how to make these pipes? ?

Thank you. .

Thank you. .

using a piping module to pull two tubes seems to me like going shopping with the space shuttle, unless it is for pastime or to learn something new :smile:.
I would do the two tubes a nice sweep and some other features that were needed to shape the ends, and died there...

Hi.

 

[Gio_RS]

you were just to learn how to use something new..... I thought I'd try routing instead of making them from me....

 

[Gio_RS]

I went into the rubbing curtain and tried with it starts in the point, both under the voice piping and under the voice flexible ducts. in the features opens the connection point window, I place the starting surface of the pipe, the diameter...etc given the ok opens the property window of the path, where I have to select the configurations of the components, the problem that once selected tells me is not a valid configuration for the pipe to be realized. . .
reading the tutorial seems to me to have understood that from the routing library I can use existing components or create new ones and insert them into the library itself following the location procedure of the routing files; Maybe my problem is this, i need to create a new part and use this for the route.... .

Bye-bye.

as marcof says it can be unnecessarily laborious to use routing/piping for what you have to do, if you only have to insert pipes "lisci" without other components/flanges/ particular fittings.

simply in the axieme where you have your fittings to join with tubes you could insert a new part. as a starting plan select the face of a fitting, you sketch a circle of the tube measurement (or convert the edge into entity) and exit from the sketch. always in this "new part" open a 3d sketch and draw the path of your pipe, from the center of the circle first to the center of the other fitting to join, passing where you want/you need. from a correct connection radius where there will be curves/ elbows and exit from the sketch. now you have all the elements to make a estrusione con sweep: the first circle you made and the 3d sketch of the path. select the subtle function and you will automatically have the thickness of your pipe.. That's it.

If you want to practice routing watch these videos:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vaedxzgf4q&feature=relatedthen search for the second part and also explain to you for the "flexible treatments".

great.:finger:...even if I do not use routing the result is practically the same....thanks to the straight :redface:...use as always

Hi.

 

[re_solidworks]

routing facilitates you and speeds when work is consistent. apart from all well-packed demos the real problem of routing is having a library with the components that you use in your company. such a library must be created by the user (there is little to do) and this requires a big waste of time.
just to deepen: to model the components of the routing library you use the data tables and there are fields necessary for the correct combination of the components. Basically when you put a fitting and the fitting is "instructed" part automatically the suitable pipe and the choice is limited to pipes proper thanks to these fields in the data table.
the use of the data table (and configurations) is useful to move easily from one size to another of a connection simply by proprety manager and to create a modest number of files in the library.

I read all this in the tutorial,in fact I created a tube and tried to insert it in the library,do this I had to attribute to the configuration of the specific properties and did not understand how to do it; Also I had to do a data table and also here I did not understand how to do it...etc...

What did you find complex? the definition of properties or the creation of the data table? Are you interested in delving in or are you all right, having solved with 3d sketch?

 

[Gio_RS]

I am interested in deepening even if the 3d sketch is still good...my difficulty was to understand how to give the configuration the specific properties and I did not understand what it means by data table, in the sense how I do it, what should I use? ?

 

[re_solidworks]

The data tables are tables made in excels that run the swx configurations. for each row create a configuration and for each column manage a parameter. you can manage quotas, the suspension status of functions or components and the properties of the file to fill in the cart.
I'll give you an example of routing. if you make a t-connect and want to create all the measurements of the same fitting you can simply create a data table and insert the size to check for each instance create the variations.
the beautiful compared to the creation of hand configurations is the speed of creation and the best management, because you see at the same time where you go to act.

 

[Gio_RS]

There is a nice job to do before going to routing so....thank you for directions,now maybe I have some less difficulty following the track of the tutorial.... .

 

[Gio_RS]

Once I did the solidworks part and the excell table I have to save the files in the routing library, at least I seem to have understood so... so I can take the part when I have to realize the duct. is the procedure correct?? because I tried, raising in the library on the disk c, but I always have the mistake of before, probably I still mistake something but I can not understand what, the help is not very clear ....

 

[re_solidworks]

to make the routing component you must insert the connection points (c-point) and in case of t or cross connection points (r-point).
in the data table you put the property that allows you to match the correct pipe? I think it's called "pipe_identifier."

 

[Gio_RS]

I send you my table, I think it's wrong because looking at the ones already in the routing library there are several things that I don't know with which criterion you have to enter.. .I did not add this last thing you said.I am based on what is said in the tutorial:

insert a data table to create configurations. in the heading line, include the following parameters:

external diameter
diameter inside@schizzocondotto
diameternominal@filtraschizzo
$prp@identification conducted (the value must be unique for each configuration)
$prp@specification(recommended)

Hello everyone.. In fact, I've got big routing issues. the tutorial is not the maximum (use sw 2010) and I was wondering if there is something that explains step by step how to intervene even in the excel tables to make it work... In the meantime I'm going to the forum.. soon:
