Creating Piping with [Auto Route]

Creating Piping with [Auto Route]

Starting with IRONCAD 2025, a new [Piping] tab has been added, providing piping creation functionality.
This section explains how to create piping from a flange using [Auto Route] under the [Piping] tab.

Procedure:

[1] Go to the [Piping] tab and click [Create Pipe].


[2] From the [ToolBox Browser], drag and drop a flange that complies with the available standards.

Warning
Currently, JIS standards are not available.

[3] In [Properties], set the flange size, then click [OK].


[4] Configure settings such as Pipe Size and Bending Method (Radius/Elbow).
After making the desired settings, select [OK].


[5] Use [Line] under the [Piping] tab to create a 3D Curve at the connection point.


Notes
The 3D Curve serves as the path for the piping.

[6] Go to the [Piping] tab and click [Auto Route].


[7] Select two points on the 3D curve where the piping should connect.


[8] In [Route Tip], select the desired route, then execute with [OK].
