The Routing application is an add-in to the SOLIDWORKS Premium software.
With Routing, you can create a special type of subassembly that builds a path of pipes,
tubes, electrical cables,
or,
ducts between components
.
When you insert certain components into an assembly, a route subassembly
is created automatically. Unlike other types of subassemblies, you do not create a route
assembly in its own window and then insert it as a component in the higher-level
assembly.
A route subassembly is made up of three types of entities:
- Components, which are fittings and connectors, including flanges,
tees, electrical connectors, and clips.
- Route parts, which include pipes, tubes, wires, cables, and
ducts.
- Route feature, which includes a 3D sketch of the centerline of
the route path.
Working with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform integrates with Routing to help you store and manage
routing components in the cloud. This makes it easier to access and share your work,
improving collaboration and efficiency.

3DEXPERIENCE
platform, including opening and saving models, batch uploads and downloads, and
managing routing subassemblies, see Managing Routing Components with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
