Exercise 1: Creating Templates: Custom Routing Assembly Template Route Specification Template

The document provides instructions for creating multiple piping routes in a SOLIDWORKS assembly. It describes creating four routes (Route1-Route4) that connect various components in the assembly. Route3 requires dimensions to other routes, geometry and includes an alternate elbow. Route4 is created using 3D sketching and routing along existing geometry in the assembly with 4" offsets around a pillar. Templates created in a previous exercise for units and pipe schedule are used to construct the routes. Dimensions and relations are then added to fully define Route4.

Exercise 1 SOLIDWORKS

Creating Templates

Exercise 1: Create a custom routing assembly template and a route specification


Creating template for use with the following exercise.
Templates This lab uses the following skills:
 Creating a Custom Routing Assembly Template
 Route Specification Templates
Units: feet & inches

Custom Routing Create a Custom Routing Assembly Template using feet and inch
Assembly format named FT_IN. Use the settings specified in the module.
Template

Route Create a Route Specification Template named SCH40. The route


Specification specification SCH40 include:
Template
 Use Schedule = Sch 40
 Default Elbow = 90°

Note These templates can be used in the following exercise as well as any
later exercises that require these settings.

SOLIDWORKS Exercise 2
Multiple Piping Routes

Exercise 2: Create multiple piping routes.


Multiple Piping This lab uses the following skills:
Routes
 Creating a Piping Route
 Adding Alternate Elbows
 Routing Along Existing
Geometry
Units: inches

Routing File Click Routing File Locations and Settings and click Load Default.
Locations and Click OK twice.
Settings
Procedure Open the existing assembly Multiple Routes from the multiple
piping routes lab folder. Use the equipment to create four new
routes.
Templates Use the templates created in the previous exercise to create the routes
in this exercise.
 Custom Routing Assembly Template = FT_IN
 Route Specification Template = SCH40

Multiple Routes Create the routes


ROUTE2
ROUTE1, ROUTE2,
ROUTE1
ROUTE3, ROUTE4
as shown using
Auto Route or 3D
sketching
procedures. See
details of the routes
on the following
pages. ROUTE3

SOLIDWORKS Exercise 2
Multiple Piping Routes

ROUTE3 ROUTE3 requires dimensions to geometry, other routes and an


alternate elbow.

ROUTE4 Optionally, create ROUTE4 using some 3D sketching and the Route
along geometry tool. Start by dragging the stub and sketching a line as
shown.
