Go Engineer : Products : SolidWorks Routing

Perform routed system design tasks easily and automatically. Speed up the process of routing tubes, pipes and electrical cable routes. With SolidWorks Routing, you’ll enjoy greater design efficiency, better designs, improved BOM accuracy, faster time-to-market, and lower costs.

Streamline the design of machinery, equipment, small facilities, or anything else that requires routing tubes, pipes and cables. All it takes is SolidWorks Routing, the powerful routed systems design application and fittings library that’s fully integrated with SolidWorks.

SolidWorks Routing Electrical Whitepaper

Some of the advantages of SolidWorks Routing include:

Parametric and associative relationships for routes with other assembly components
Automatic insertion of elbows into sketches at bends (for piping)
Design of pipe and tube routes with both elbows or bends
Option for creating custom butt-welded elbows when angles deviate from standard values
Fast drag-and-drop insertion of fittings using snap-to-fit SmartMates
Creation of penetration cuts involving pipes and tubes
Automatic generation of accurate tube, pipe and cable cut lengths for BOM

Intuitive, drag-and-drop of components into a route
Easy click-and-drag modification of existing routed system designs
Powerful copy and mirror capabilities for routes
Improved design productivity through automation of routed system design tasks
Time-saving library of ready-made tube, pipe and cabling components
Create flexible tube and hose routes
Generate bend data file generation for CNC tube/pipe bending machines
Automatic filtering of component selections to match the size and specification of the route
Generation of routed system and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) in SolidWorks using fully integrated Microsoft® Visio® Professional.

SolidWorks Routing uses the familiar SolidWorks 3D mechanical design environment, so it’s quick and easy to use. Your routed systems design is done in the same integrated package as your equipment design.
