Routed Systems

Routed Systems

Autodesk® Inventor® 3D mechanical design software can help to streamline the design of routed systems, including tube, pipe, cable and harness runs.
Features

Streamline the Design of Complex Tube and Pipe Runs
Reduce the time it takes to design routed elements, including tubing, piping and flexible hose. Inventor’s rules-based routing tools select the appropriate fittings so that pipe runs comply with your design rules for minimum and maximum segment length, round-off increments and bend radius. Change to a different style of fittings easily by selecting a different pipe style. Autodesk Inventor will repopulate the pipe run with the new fittings whilst adhering to any new design rules. 

Streamline the Design of Complex Electrical Systems
Complex electrical systems require increasingly careful design of the physical cables and harnesses. Incorporating cable and harness runs into your digital prototypes enables you to calculate accurate path lengths, avoid small radius bends, and help electrical components fit into the mechanical assembly before manufacturing. 

Use wire list information imported from schematic design packages, including AutoCAD® Electrical software. Full integration with the bill of materials tools in Inventor means that your BOMs accurately represent the electrical components in your design.
