3D Piping Part - use of pipe raw material

Introduction

Raw material ensure better digital continuity for objects between Engineering and Manufacturing using raw material.

Raw Materials are the resources used by a company to produce finished goods. Every components can have a link to the raw material from which they are made.

With this link we will be able to access to the required quantity of volume, length, area or mass.

Then Manufacturing will be able to consume the Raw Material objects that represent Material Forms linked to the Engineering Parts.  ​​​​​​​

function explanation

Note : Warning concerning video message : the creation of Pipe raw material is possible with the Piping 3D Fluid Design role (no need of additionnal license)

Raw Material in context of Piping 3D Desing 

Piping Rigid Pipe

Thanks to Raw Material Pipe/Tube, every new created pipe will have a link to the Reference Pipe Raw material in Catalog/library. this will ensure to retreive :

  • properties of the Raw material that is not needed to duplicate on each pipe . especially classification attributes....
  • pipe quantity according Pipe Raw material length 

Process:

Create a Rigid Pipe / duct Tray raw material in + content menu

  • Doesn’t request additional license (since 23xFD04 - 24xGA
  • It is Imbedded in Roles containing Piping, Hvac or raceway  Apps

 

Associte your design table (Pipe reference dimension techno table)

  • Table must contain a column for MaxLength

Create component family & populate the catalog

Create Piping Spec Part filter

  • set as object type for Part filter unit : Raw
