Hi @niranjan_addagatla.  I honestly do not use the Tube & Pipe tools (so far) where I work, but I do know that they those tools are added to Inventor as an add-in (ApplicationAddIn), not as part of the main/core Inventor application.  As far as I know, the only way to get into those tools is through an AssemblyDocument (not through a part or drawing), and then through its AssemblyComponentDefinition using its AssemblyComponentDefinition.BIMComponent property, as the entry way.  That property returns a BIMComponent object.  Then you just keep digging deeper from there.  This same area is also used for the 'Cable & Harness' stuff also.  Because, when you go to the Tools tab, then click on the Add-Ins button (in the Options panel), then while the Applications tab is active, scroll down to where you see "Routed Systems: Cable & Harness" and "Routed Systems: Tube & Pipe".  Both their names start with "Routed Systems", even though both show a different DLL file in the 'Location' box.  I do not know if those two add-ins have their own 'API' (automation access for users), like the iLogic add-in does, but I highly doubt it.
