Hello!
I am working on a project where a piping system is being modeled in Creo (v 8.0.3.0) and is desired to be analyzed (pipe stress analysis) in AutoPIPE (v 23.00.00.230). So far it looks like the best (if not only) way to take the working Creo model's piping geometry and plug it into AutoPIPE is via a Piping Configuration File (PCF), where (1) Creo is able to generate a PCF and (2) AutoPIPE is able to import that PCF .
So far I have been mainly been focusing on step (2) to make sure I know what information in the PCF can be interpreted/implemented in AutoPIPE, and have been able to identify a couple of additional inputs that I would like to have added to the PCF (as shown numbered in red below).
I'm now going back to step (1) (Creo -> PCF), and I'm trying to figure out how I can incorporate these inputs into the piping that exists in the Creo model (if at all possible). I've tried looking through PTC documentation on how to change/edit information in the Piping Specification Database, but I'm still at a loss for understanding how I could go about adding the above inputs to certain types of pipes in the model.
If any of y'all are familiar with PCF generation for Creo Piping, and especially with including additional piping information to show up on the PCF, I would greatly appreciate any input or guidance you can give on this topic.
