Pipe routing tutorial?

Pipe routing tutorial?

Pipe routing tutorial?

(OP)
Hey guys,

Well i'm after a free pipe routing tutorial if anyone knows of any. Specifically i'm trying to draw up a decent turbo manifold for an inline 4 engine as a little project to further my skills but so far I have no idea how to work with pipes and routing in solidworks. I can make your normal straight and bends etc but no idea how to do the more complex stuff needed to make a decent turbo manifold.

Any help would be great. Also any links to good tutorials would also be great as i've just taught myself and now wish to get a bit more involved with it.

RE: Pipe routing tutorial?

This seems one area that is very sparse on tutorials. I've searched hi & lo also but haven't come across anything worthwhile. Has anyone?

RE: Pipe routing tutorial?

If you've already checked YouTube and the SW website, the I'd go with SolidProfessor or igetit.  Not free, but good nonetheless.

Yeah I haven't been able to find ANYTHING on the subject. Solidprofessor has a tutorial on it but at $299.99 I think i'll give it a miss for now. This is just a personal interest so can't really justify the cost unless I was using it.

Is there anyone out there that could write up a quick tutorial regarding the basics of routing and pipes specifically for complex bends such as in exhaust manifolds.
