Creo Piping & Schematics
Creo Piping Training class Description
This three- or five-day Creo piping design training course is tailored for drafters, mechanical engineers, and technicians involved in routing pipes, plumbing, pneumatics, and hydraulics in small or large systems. Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of routing pipes and creating various flow diagrams within Creo assemblies, all within one week. For the extended 40-hour version of this course, your team will learn to use Creo Schematic to create 2D P&ID diagrams and then route that geometry through 3D Creo piping assemblies, obtaining accurate pipe lengths and detailed piping hardware drawings. Upon completion, participants will be capable of creating both 2D and 3D piping detailed drawings and associated 3D manufacturing deliverables using the latest version of Creo.
Piping and cabling are similar extensions within the Creo environment. The Creo Piping and Cabling Extension enables electrical engineers and their technicians to create 3D representations of electrical, fluid, hydraulic, or other routed systems within a consistent Creo assembly environment.
This course will teach you how to accelerate your design process, efficiently implement changes, reduce errors, and move to prototype faster with cost-effective Creo PCX. The instructor can also schedule and demonstrate cabling because the tools are similar.
The 32-hour version of this course does not cover the Creo Schematics P&ID workflow, whereas the 40-hour version includes an additional 16+ hours of study, focusing on the use of Creo Schematics P&ID XML routing tools.

Creo Piping Discussions
- Describe with photos and images various piping with examples from tractors, mowers, industrial machinery to motorcycles and cars.
- Describe with photos and images the wide variety of fittings and various piping hardware for developing a wide variety of piping designs.
- Describe with photos and images various pipe management components and methods.
- Discuss how PD&ID Creo Schematics integrated with routing lines and pipes and auto route work together to enhance efficiency.
- Expand upon alternate methods to gather usable fittings i.e. IGES/STEP from connector manufacturer websites and other
- Discuss how to handle modifications to a pipe if parts of the Pipe if parts of the assembly turn up missing
- Discuss how Top-down design or surfaces can aid in the Creo piping routing process
- Manage PD&ID Creo Schematic libraries within Windchill

Creo Piping Training Projects
Design Engine has prepared a series of 17+ Creo Piping & Creo PD&ID Schematics tutorials designed to lead the participants through the cabling design and modification process. Projects range from routing both flexible and straight pipes complete with elbows and other pipe management Creo models that will be necessary to get experience and learn the Creo Piping Module. Projects include plumbing for a hot tub, brake lines bicycles & motorcycles, and front-end loader hydraulic lines.
Day 1: Create and/or download various fittings from your favorite piping fittings supplier, then prepare those fittings properly for routing. Learn to route pipes by manually, that is without the use of PD&ID Creo Schematics models. Learn to create pipe lines in a variety of both flexible and strait pipe examples.
Day 2: Explore the use of Top Down design as it relates to Creo Piping Design. Route a series of strait pipe inserting fittings as nesseary.
Day 3: More intermediate demonstration using Creo Schematics PD&ID. Learn to create Creo Schematics library symbols. Create a simple custom PD&ID schematics to export that logical data, then route the subsequent pipe using Creo Parametric assembly.
Day 4: Complete exercise from day three. Discuss any problem solving techniques for figuring out any problems. Start a new project that is more complicated using Creo Schematics then route that new PD&ID schematic using Creo Parametric.
Day 5: Create more custom PD&ID Creo Schematic Symbols relative to your work, then use those symbols to create a more complicated schematic related to your work. Use this day to start your company connector library.
