1.2 Ports
Ports are arrows which mark open ends of Pipelines and are used as connecting points. They are also
used as marker whether the parts are connected right or not. Ports disappear if they are connected.
Stock
Path
Port
1.3 Path
The Path is the centreline between the RCPs.
1.4 Stock
The stock is the pipe attached to the path.
1.5 Overstock
The overstock is the insulation for the pipe.

2 Basics
2.1 Fluids Role (only at ECO EN F and SM EN FT)
If you start working with NX-Routing its recommended to load the
prepared Role.
Warning appears:
Make sure you Quit NX with File -> Exit after loading the Role. Otherwise changes wont get saved.
With
-> Axis Parallel it is possible to draw a path parallel or normal to another path or an edge.
And its possible to select the endpoint of an edge or path to use the assumptive intersection as
endpoint of the new path.
To connect two paths or points Heal Path
can be used. (see 5.3) Its recommended to use it if the
two Objects to be linked are close to each other. Heal Path is a fast solution and also very accurate.
(Highly recommended too use for faster working!!!)
Always use exact angles, elsewise there will be issues during placing parts.
then select the Path, on which stock shall be placed. Chosen stock
-> Specify -> Routing Part Library -> Rodiks Pipes-> chose DN -> ok

then select the Path, on witch overstock shall be aplyed. Chosen overstock
-> Specify -> Routing Part Library -> Insulation-> chose thickness -> ok

*Broken Bends are Bends which lost the associate to the lines they connect. If the RCP in the Corner of
the Bend is Empty, the Bend is broken. (the standard RCP at a corner looks like the one below)

- Click
Fill in the F_ID (in FPMD 1_PLH) of the Pipe you want to Import -> click
-> Repeat if more pipes shall be added -> continue with 3.4.3
- Click Back once, if only one Part is displayed in CAD-Manager. (Except there is only one Part)
- Mark all -> Create Document
- (change wrong SCS, if necessary)
- Save -> UG Check Characteristics -> Save
-> Back

NX Routing
To keep length or angles of the Path, they can be fixed by constraints. But be aware that a large number
of constraints can influence the performance of Routing.
No constraints should be deactivated during modifications of the Path.

NX Routing
Is used to split up path segments and to create a additional RCP on a path segment.
The easiest way is to use At Point, this gives you 3 options how to define the
location of the subdividing Point. (see graphic)
Arc Length gives the ability to dig in the length starting at a corner for
subdivision.
Through Point makes it possible to select the subdividing point per click. It is
possible to select either a point on the line, or a line to use the intersection
point.
% Arc Length divines the subdividing point by dig in percentage of the whole
length.
The Type Equal Segments makes it possible to divide the segment in multiple parts of equal length.
Select multiple segments which share one direction to unify them and remove all RCPs except on the
endpoints.
Only works if the path segments have the same orientation.

select move -> select part to move -> moving the part will delete all constraints
and connections to the Routing Path.

NX Routing
For start and endpoint select either RCP, Path, Port, Point or Axis.
Select Stock.
In Settings -> Method it is possible to select the order of Axis or
direct or Intersection. As preview for the path to be created, an
orange line will appear.
