Design with HDPE pipes

[Anonymous]

Hello friends,

I need to design with HDPE pipes. Do you know where can I find a library?

My problem is that when I insert a PE100 fitting and then connect it to a pipe (steel) the result is shown in the attached picture.

I can create my own pipe but it's custom so every time I make a pipe line I have to specify the distance of it and can't modify it.

Any help?

Thanks

Are you working with Tube & Pipe?  For this pipe style you will probably need to create a custom ipart, unless you are aware of a supplier website that may have CAD files you can download.

Hello,

No I am just using pipes from Library.

Steel pipes do have other diameters than PE tubes.

You need to to have matching pipes for PE fittings. I can attach an ipart here that I used to put PE pipes in our custom content center. Hope this helps. where did you get your PE fittings from?

@Anonymous  Can you describe the actual problem to us that don't design the same type of stuff you are doing?

Whats wrong with that? Just that its not inserted into the mating pipe all the way? If so simply adjust your constraints or choose a different type or spot for the constraint..

Can you post the iam/ipt files along with describing exactly how you want it to work so we can show you how it should be done?

And yes depending on the extent of your designs you might find it very worth your time to use the tube&piping module in Inventor and authoring custom pipes/fittings as needed..

As far as finding a library.. Pipes/fittings are such simple objects to model I'd just recommend modeling up your own parts.

In case you decide to investigate Tube & Pipe, which I would recommend, here is my class on T&P basics from 2014.  It would still be helpful today.
