Philosophy for the creation of a routing library

Hello

I need to create my rooting library, and I'd like to have some feedback on the methods.

Either I create a tube that includes all the standards (ISO 316L, ISO 304L, ISO Steel, SMS, ASME-BPE, etc.), or I create one tube per standard. 

But I would like to have the possibility to change the standard of the future rooting I have created (e.g. go from ISO 316L to SMS) without having to recreate my rooting.

If you have any feedback, I will be interested.

Hello, I think that in order to be able to change the standard you have to create a tube that brings together several standards. The problem also exists in mechanical welding and I think that since the 2015 version you can modify one profile for another, but before it was not possible. Let's see if this improvement has also been implemented on Routing.
Edit: Duplicate removal

Are the sections of the bookcase according to the materials identical?

Outer Diameter Thickness and Inner Diameter

If this is the case nothing prevents you from making copies of your existing libraries and granting them a material ref

and have a library of each material and

in sub-library 

Pipe files, elbows, etc....

In general, if you do a stainless steel routing, you don't do a steel or cu routing.

From one standard to another, the Øs change.

I do preliminary projects, and sometimes we change the standard quite often.

 

I build myself a room with all the standards to do a test.

Now the question arises of how to make a straight part on an elbow  (on some standards I have some but no other), while keeping the connection points.

Depending on the specific of the fluid, the materials must be in line with the

The same goes for the type of industry 

so if it's a preliminary project, why not do it in wired for the connection from a point to a

To another via neutral fiber

After that, nothing prevents you from creating these pipes via the sketch library by choosing your material

Thank you gt22

 

But I'm looking for feedback from the same job as me.

And what is your job?

My question is rather: is it better to put all the standards in configuration in a room, or is it better to separate the standards.

I would like to anticipate problems by having the right philosophy from the beginning of the creation of the pieces.

 

That's why I'd like feedback on the rooting piping professions.

The answer is that it is better to separate the parts according to the materials

a backrest by materials, the diameter not being the same nor the density

  1. steel
  2. stainless steel
  3. cu
  4. Pu
  5. Pla
  6. etc...

and sub-folders of exhibits

  1. tube
  2. Elbows
  3. you
  4. Flanges
  5. etc

and under sub-backrest ex for elbows / welding/crimping/screwing/interlocking

depending on material and diameter

  1. 90° bends
  2. 60° bends
  3. 45° elbows
  4. etc....

or you have the possibility to put all the elbows of the same material in an identical folder with different angle values

It's a choice

See the tutorials above in my previous post

That's my point of view

@+ ;-))

See also this tutorial in English if it doesn't put you off;-)

which will also give you an overview of what is possible as a piping library and components

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRVWTTBMYMM

It is also a philosophy of operation that is more  open to each type of need

which is generally not the case in an industry that is generally more specific to a type of material

I did a test by grouping all my clouds (304L, 316L.. etc.) on the same file. It works. Maybe it makes my assembly heavier.??

In this configuration, I can change the shades of bends after the routing is created (by selecting the configuration that works well), but I have to do it elbow by elbow (tedious).

I tried changing the properties of my routing after creations, but it doesn't work. It does not take into account changes in routing patterns. In short, there is no update.

So by separating my parts into sub-folders as you advise me to do (and I think you're right, it's simpler), I lose the possibility (even tedious) to change the standard without having to redo my routing. And it's  super embarrassing!

 

That said, changing the properties of my routing doesn't update it either. BUG, or bad handling on my part..

Maybe I can solve this problem by setting up a routing properties model in the routing library manager, but I don't understand much about this unintuitive tool.

 

I'm going to watch the video you told me, but in English, I'm afraid of missing some important notions.

I opened a ticket, but no answer for the moment!

anyway according to your shades of materials

The inter and outer diameters are not identical it seems to me

so you have no choice

if it's as you say for a pre-study so a costing

nothing prevents you from putting a price coef X via a Y base

It's up to you to see what coef doesn't put yourself out of the question of price

but I remain convinced that you need a family for each subject

especially if the inter and exter odds are different

@+ ;-))

And not the inner and outer Ø can be identical, it's the grades, and finishes that change, I can have 316L, 304L, weldtron, weldtronEP, safetron, safetron EP, So 6 grades for 1 same diameter.

And the difference is also physical, because an ISO elbow does not have a straight part, whereas a weldtron elbow has a straight part.

I do do preliminary design, but the goal is to do project (manufacturing plan), so I anticipate problems.

which of + is the risks of crashing via the biblo

It's a choice

in + extended bookshelves

I'm not convinced that this is the right solution in the long run

It's up to you to judge

@+ ;-))

I agree with the extended bookcase c not super practical, but for the moment I can't change the standards of my routing without the standards being configured in my rooms.

 

After creating the routing, I manage to change the tube and elbow parameters of my routing, but the routing does not update.

 

I have the impression that the routing module is not yet very operational.

I don't really understand what you're saying

if you have correctly entered and configured all your library elements with

routing points (automatic snapping)

Connection points

Well defined your outer and inter or thickness diam

you can give an example of the problem

@+ ;-))

 

OK

I'll make you follow an example.

In the ISO ROU_Coude file , you have 4 configurations:

2 in 6I (elbow without straight part)

2 in WI (Elbow with straight part)

When I create my routing in 6I, it puts me in 6I, but if I want to change the routing in WI it doesn't take into account the modification.

 

C more telling with an example.

Take screenshots of the connection points and routing of your rooms
