SOLIDWORKS Pipe Routing And Tubing Training Course

Course Description: With SOLIDWORKS pipe routing and tubing course learn how to create  a special type of subassembly that builds a path of pipes, tubes, electrical cables or ducts between components.

As an extension of our SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Training, this course aims at explaining deeply about creating, editing and managing piping as well as tubing routes, ranging between critical routing components and their respective design requirements, and subassemblies containing the routes.

This course expands over a span of two days and covers ten lessons including fundamentals of routing, piping routes, piping fittings, tubing routes, and piping and tubing changes among others.

Course Length: 2 Days

Prerequisites: SOLIDWORKS Essentials
