Description
Talking about a topic is one thing, seeing it is something else. This class will be a live demonstration of some of the key things to know about working with Inventor Tube & Pipe. I will demonstrate getting into the Tube & Pipe environment, set up a tube & pipe style, create a pipe assembly, add pipe runs and create pipe routes in them. I will then populate those routes using various tube & pipe styles. I will also edit and even break some of these routes to show ways of fixing things when your plan inevitably falls apart. The techniques shown will be those I use every day, but may not be the only correct methods.
Key Learnings
- 1. Getting started with the Tube & Pipe environment in Inventor Professional
- 2. Creating and managing Tube & Pipe styles
- 3. Creating Pipe Runs & Routes
- 4. Editing, modifying and repairing pipe runs & routes.
Speakers
Chris BennerI am the CAD department supervisor at Powell Fabrication & Manufacturing in St. Louis, Michigan. I have been a mechanical designer and drafter for more than 20 years, using Autodesk products for most of that time. I am also the Vault administrator at Powell Fab. I was inducted in the first class of Autodesk Expert Elites and am active on the Autodesk discussion forums, and I post on my CAD Tips, Tricks & Workarounds blog. I've spoken at Autodesk University 6 times, including a trip to Moscow in 2014 to speak at AU Russia. My specialties are Inventor Tube & Pipe and Frame Generator, Content Center and Vault Professional.- MLMark LancasterI have associates degree in Mechanical Engineering and CAD/CAM and started using CAD in 1985 while in college. But my first job out of college was based on 80% board drafting and 20% CAD. I'm a self-taught Autocad user and started out in Release 9. Also I’ve been using Inventor and Vault since 2008. In addition to that I have experience in Pro/E, Smarteam, and Lean Manufacturing. I basically started out as a CAD Draftsman for a few years and finally moved over into CAD management instead of becoming a designer. Close to 15 years I supported CAD and/or document management system for a few companies. Currently I'm a Product Support Specialist/Help Desk Tech for an Autodesk reseller (www.synergis.com/cad).
