Introduction to Piping
Module Overview
Creo Piping enables you to create 3-D piping designs as part of an
integrated product development process. Piping designs can be either
specification driven or non-specification driven, for example, manually
routed. Specification-driven designs involve using piping specifications and
automated modeling tasks; this method is used by the Plant, Shipbuilding,
and Aerospace industries. Non-specification-driven piping involves creating
piping systems using manual tasks, and is often used when designing flexible
piping systems. In addition, 2-D schematic design information in the form of
Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (created in Creo Schematic) can be
used to pass design information into specification-driven piping designs in
Creo Parametric. It is important to understand the piping design processes,
concepts, and terminology associated with Creo Piping.
Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Describe the manual piping design process.
Describe the specification-driven piping design process.
Describe Creo Parametric piping concepts and terminology.
Create manually routed (non-specification-driven) pipelines.
Create specification-driven pipelines.

Piping Design Example
Non-Specification-Driven Piping
This method of piping design enables maximum flexibility and involves
configuring pipeline stock and manually routing pipes and inserting fittings.
It typically applies to flexible piping designs and tubing.
Specification-Driven Piping
Piping design as utilized by designers in the Plant design, Shipbuilding, and
Aerospace design industries.
This method of piping design is driven by a set of piping specifications
and design rules.

Module 1 | Page 5
Creating Project-Specific Data files involves assigning piping data from the
MCAT files for each new project specification. The project-specific data
can be stored in the following files:
Specification Directory Files: Store all piping specifications, mnemonics,
colors, layers, insulation codes, and assigned Auto-Selection files that
have been selected for a piping project.
Auto-Selection Files: Contain all selected pipes, fittings, bends, miters,
and assembly fittings for a piping project.
Insulation Directory Files: Contain all selected insulation files, insulation
codes, and colors for a piping project.
Routing Pipelines and Inserting Fittings is a semi-automatic process. Only
assigned project-specific piping data is available during these activities.
An additional option is to use 2-D Schematic Design information to further
automate pipe routing and inserting fittings.
Creo Schematic P & IDs can be used to export XML files and transfer
the data into 3-D piping designs. This enables designating of equipment,
nozzles, and fittings. In addition, when creating pipelines, routing pipes,
and inserting fittings, automatic selections (based on the XML data) are
made when possible.
When the piping design is complete, it is possible to generate information for
a number of downstream processes, including the following:
Generate the Piping Component File (PCF) information for the Isometric
Drawing Generation (ISOGEN). Creo Parametric piping provides an
ISOGEN interface that enables you to create isometric drawings of
pipelines. The ISOGEN interface exports material and geometrical data
from a Creo Parametric Piping model to a readable ISOGEN.pcf format.
This format serves as an input to ISOGEN for creating pipeline, spool, and
system isometric drawings.
Generate Piping Drawings. You can create Creo Parametric drawings
of piping designs, which can, for example, contain installation and bill of
materials information.
Output File Interchange Format (FIF). You can output information for CNC
bend machines.
Dynamic Design Rule Checking is possible during the pipeline routing
process. Various design errors such as bend violations, missing fittings,
and end type compatibility problems can be highlighted. These errors can
then be corrected before proceeding with the design.
The Schematic Consistency Check report provides information about the
correctness of a 3-D pipe model against the 2-D schematic information
stored in an XML file. You can generate reports for all typical pipeline
configurations in a piping design.

Miter Cut Number: A list of the permitted quantities of miter cuts. For
example, a setting of 2 forces the pipeline to have two miters as it moves
through a 90 degree corner.
Design rule parameters are used to verify that routed pipelines are within
specified limits. These parameters can also be configured when creating
line stocks.
For example, segment length, bend radius, and bend angle parameters
can be set within limits.
User-defined parameters can be configured for line stock; these can be
system parameters such as fluid_type or user-defined parameters such
as pressure.
Rectangular cross-section line stock can be configured.
This can be used for routing square or rectangular tubing or ductwork.
For flexible hose, you can configure and route pipelines with a minimum
bend radius; this can be changed for different pipe gauges to ensure
accurate representation of flexible hose.
After routing, you can check for bend radius violations using the Design
Rules Check dialog box.

assembly updates the pipeline geometry.
You can redefine a pipeline segment. This enables you to completely
change the routing references and options.
When redefining pipe segments, all subsequent pipe segments
are temporarily suppressed from the model. They are resumed
when the redefining operation is complete.
You can edit the location and geometry of any routing references, for
example, you can change the location of components referenced during
routing. Regenerating the piping assembly updates the pipeline geometry
accordingly.
Piping Environment
When you start routing a pipeline, the default piping environment settings are
taken from the line stock you are using and remain the same unless you
change them. You can change the default settings in the Piping Environment
dialog box. The following items can be edited:
Corner Type Can be specified as bend, fitting, or miter.
When the corner type is specified as bend, you can also specify the
bend radius, and for miter corners you can specify the number of cuts
and cut length.
Line Shape Can be straight or flexible.

Understanding Fittings
You can create fittings as part or assembly models. You can store fittings
in libraries, enabling you to easily retrieve the correct fitting size when you
need to insert them into a pipeline.
Fittings can be divided into three broad categories:
Corner fittings such as elbows, reducers, and angle valves.
You can locate Corner fittings quickly by selecting a pipeline corner.
Creo Parametric uses the intersection of the Z-axes of the coordinate
systems in the fittings to locate the fitting.
You can create Corner fittings in a variety of angles; they do not need to
be 90 degrees.
End fittings such as caps, plugs, and flanges.

The alignment point is normally located along the Z-axis at the center of
symmetry of the fitting. For fittings with three entry ports (for example,
tee fitting), the alignment point is at the intersection of the three Z-axes.
Penetration Distance
Pipelines associated with a fitting terminate at the fittings coordinate
system entry ports. You can control the penetration distance in a fitting by
modifying the location of entry port coordinate systems. Regenerating
fitting models updates any routed pipelines and solid pipes.
Fitting Libraries
Fitting libraries can be configured using family tables. This saves time
when creating large numbers of fittings with only minor size variations. It
also enables easy selection and placement of fittings.

Extracting Models
The following features describe extracted part models in piping:
Extracting a model enables you to create a single part model from a
continuous series of pipe solids, fittings, and, if required, assembled
components contained within a pipeline.
Extracting a model involves merging by reference the selected parts into
the extracted part model. Therefore, if the piping assembly changes, the
extracted part model also updates.
The extracted part model is contained within the piping assembly. It can be
hidden from view, if desired.
The part model is also stored as an independent model, so it can be
retrieved and viewed on its own without retrieving the entire piping
assembly.
You can also use it to create views in drawings.

Fitting Libraries
A library of basic fitting models is supplied below the Creo Parametric
load-point in the \text\piping_data\fittinglib folder. This library conforms to the
Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) piping standards.
More comprehensive fitting libraries conforming to ANSI and JIS standards
are available from the PTC customer support web site.
Fitting Models
When creating fitting libraries, it should be noted that fitting models require
the following parameters to enable correct mapping of information:
Model Parameter: Fitting_Code
Feature Parameters:
In coordinate system Port0: Size
In coordinate system Port0: End_Type
In coordinate system Port1: Size
In coordinate system Port1: End_Type
In coordinate system Port1: New_Size
Module 11 | Page 6
2012 PTC
2012 PTC
Module 11 | Page 7
2012 PTC
Note that default coordinate systems should be removed from fitting models
to avoid incorrect positioning of models in pipelines.
For in-line fittings, if there are two or more ports, the Z-axes of two of the
ports must be collinear with the fitting local coordinate system Z-axis.
For in-line eccentric fittings, if there are two or more ports, they must be
parallel to the local coordinate system Z-axis. The inlet port should be located
on the local coordinate system Z-axis, and the outlet port should be offset
along the local coordinate system Y-axis with its Z-axis parallel to the local
coordinate system Z-axis.
For corner fittings, if there are two or more ports, you must include an angle
equal to the vertex angle where the fitting is inserted. The inlet port should
be located on the local coordinate system Z-axis.
For lateral fittings, the Y-axis of the inlet port and the Z-axis of the lateral
outlet port must include an angle equal to the lateral angle of the fitting.
Locate the inlet port on the local coordinate system Z-axis.
Locate the outlet port along the lateral axis that lies on the local Z-Y plane
of the fitting.

system to the correct auto-selection file. For example, you can assign
the auto-selection file created for specification 11C (11c_asfile.ptd) to the
specification 11C record in a specification directory file.
When creating pipelines or inserting fittings, the system retrieves the
specification data from the specification directory file. The specification
directory file directs the system to the appropriate auto-selection file to
retrieve the pipe, fitting, and assembly fitting data.
The system retrieves the auto-selection piping data from the pipe, fitting,
and assembly fitting records defined for each specification. This data then
populates appropriate dialog boxes when routing pipelines or inserting fittings.
The location of all project-specific data files is controlled by various config.pro
options.
