Learn to import piping component files (PCF files) from 3D CAD systems into FluidFlow. The PCF import feature automatically brings in piping layouts, components, and elevation data, reducing manual model-building time. The video shows how to select and import PCF files, work with imported components, and handle elevation data.
You'll also learn to create and combine multiple file templates for comprehensive hydraulic models. This is valuable for large projects with 3D-designed piping layouts. The tutorial emphasizes that model accuracy depends on source file quality—complete and accurate CAD data produces better hydraulic models that require less manual correction.
