Question from Mark:  What's the solid pipe option?  Is it just a rod?

Answer:  You can create solid or hollow pipes with a rectangular or square shape.  This functionality allows the use of piping for square or rectangular tubing for furniture and HVAC ductwork.  You can also create a solid or hollow circular shape,

Question from Mark:  After I have the piping done in my model, is there a way to "run it" and find out how much pressure there is in each pipe?

Answer:  You can use Creo Simulate Live, or Creo Flow Analysis to calculate that.
