Inventor Professional enables users to reduce the time 

required to design tubing, piping, and flexible hose.

Tube and Pipe Design

Simplify the design of pipe runs—or spools—to fit in 
complex assemblies or tight spaces. Automatically 
routed segments respect predefined routing styles 
to present users with alternative pipe routes that 
comply with routing rules such as minimum or maxi-
mum length criteria and bend radius. Alternatively, 
pipe runs can be defined manually by creating 3D 
sketch geometry or built up interactively using the 
route edit tools. Automatically routed segments 
can be combined with user-defined segments for 
maximum control.

Improve quality, easily organize parts, and eliminate 
tedious searching with automatic placement of 
the correct part from an extensive library of piping 
components. The library includes commonly used, 
industry-standard (ANSI, DIN, ISO, and JIS) fittings, 
tubing, piping, and hose. Add or modify proper-
ties, including part numbers to existing parts, and 
control file names used to instance fittings, pipes, 
tubes, and other content.

Make sure flexible hose and fittings fit properly 
using a 3D digital prototype that drives accurate 
manufacturing documentation. The system inserts 
appropriate hose fittings from the Content Center 
and checks for minimum bend radius based on the 
selected hose style. Hose lengths are updated auto-
matically for use in length roll-up commands.
