DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGIES
Pipeline: An assembly feature consisting of line
segments that represent the centerline of the pipe.
Pipeline parameters: Parameters that define
information such as fluid type, flow direction,
pressure, etc.
Fitting: A part that you assemble at the location
where a pipe joins another pipe, is terminated, or is
clamped.
Line stock: A list of parameters that define the size
and shape of the material used to create a pipe.

FITTINGS AND COMPONENTS
ADDING FITTINGS
A fitting is an assembly component, typically a part, that you add
to the piping system to perform a specific function.
Essentiality of Entry Ports and Datum Points for assembling
Pro/LIBRARY_ACCESS license
Fittings in a piping system can be placed using piping
functionality, or conventional assembly techniques
TYPES OF FITTINGS
There are three types of Fittings:
CORNER FITTINGS
END FITTINGS
INTERNAL, or
STRAIGHT FITTINGS
PIPING COMPONENTS
All piping components should be assembled into the piping
assembly.
The best way to locate piping components is to define datum
geometry in the piping skeleton and mate the components to the
skeleton.
EXTRACTING A MODEL
An extracted model is a combination of different fittings and
pipes that is documented as a single entity.
The extracted model has a .prt extension, but only one feature
(a merge), regardless of the number of components it references.
After you select parts to include in the extract model, you can
create a drawing of it.
MODULE SUMMARY
A fitting library is a family table.
Fitting parts require entry ports and typically a datum point, in
order to be considered fittings.
Fittings can be placed with conventional assembly techniques
or the special insert fittings.
Using insert fittings gives you the ability to replace, flip and twist
fittings.
An extract model is merge of fittings and solid pipes.
