WHAT IS SPEC-DRIVEN PIPING? • A Powerful Extension for Piping in Creo Parametric • Standardization for Your Designs – Utilize a ‘Master Catalog’ of standard pipes & fitting hardware – No more manually typing/matching diameters, wall thicknesses, etc. • Create ‘Projects’ of Piping Specifications – Ensure the correct details are used in the right place • Error Elimination – Linestock definitions, fitting models, & compatibility automatically controlled – Improved checking capabilities • Enables Rapid Design Change – Automatic Fitting Insertion, “Flange & Gasket” – When you update the size/schedule of a pipe, associated fittings update to match #LIVEWORX 2

STREAMLINE DESIGN COMMUNICATION • Enables Schematic-Driven Routing – Leverage data from a schematic tool (such as Creo Schematics) – Ensure that systems or electrical data matches 1 -to-1 – Your systems engineers will love you! • Create bend-machine tables and bend-code files instantaneously (Supravision) – Your manufacturing team will love you! • Generate piping drawings automatically (ISOGEN) – Save time by eliminating manual drafting efforts – Your managers will love you! Take-Away: Spec-Driven Piping Offers Dramatic Improvements to Design Time & Error Elimination #LIVEWORX 3

SO, WHY ISN’T EVERYONE USING SPEC-DRIVEN PIPING? #LIVEWORX 4

SPEC-DRIVEN PIPING TODAY Well, it’s complicated - There are three parts to spec-driven piping: Master Catalog of Pipes, Fittings, Insulations Fitting Libraries Specs (CAD models) (More Resource Files) (Resource Files) Managing Data & Adding to the Catalog Requires an Expert #LIVEWORX 5

EXAMPLE UPDATE TO A MASTER CATALOG • To create a new pipe family… in Creo 3 – New “pipe family” file must be created • Pipe File • Pipe Diameter File • Pipe Thickness File – Then additionally, • • piping_manufacture_dir. ptd piping_material. ptd piping_mcat_dir. ptd piping_unit_system_dic_file. ptd Large Number of Files Must Be Maintained Pipes, Fittings, Insulations, Bends, Miter, etc Values Must be Typed Exactly • New and improved in Creo 4 – Files now use CSV instead of PTD format – Some files improve with consolidation • However, data translation is therefore not a 1 -to-1 Requires Expertise to Create & Manage – Upgrading from Creo 3 will be a manual process #LIVEWORX 6

EXAMPLE CREATION OF A FITTING MODEL Fitting “Code” Part Parameter Coordinate Systems for Entry and Exit Ports Proper CSYS Alignment Feature Parameters for Size & End Type on CSYS #LIVEWORX 7

EXAMPLE CREATION OF A PIPING SPEC • To create a new ‘spec’ in a ‘project’ – Desired pipes must be added from the Master Catalog – Desired fitting families must also be added • Models must all have correct data – Data must match the Master Catalog • Sizes, End Types, and Schedules • Fitting Categories (groups) – All items in the spec must point to the appropriate file in the master catalog Data Must Match the Master Catalog PTD, CSV, & INP File Formatting Multiple Projects Difficult to Maintain Difficult to Ensure Your Team Is Up-to-Date Take-Away: Spec-Driven Piping is very Powerful, but can be Time. Consuming to Set Up & Maintain. #LIVEWORX 8
