Flownex can build a network from a DXF file. What types of components can be created during the import process, and are there any tutorials or example networks available that demonstrate how to use the DXF Importer?
When importing a DXF file into Flownex, the user can select the component type that should be created from the imported drawing entities. During the import process, Flownex provides options that allow the imported geometry to be converted into network components, enabling the rapid creation of a fluid network from a CAD layout.
After selecting the desired component type and completing the import, Flownex automatically generates the corresponding network within the workspace. This can significantly reduce the time required to build large piping or flow networks from existing engineering drawings.
For guidance on the import process, Flownex provides a DXF Importing Example network that demonstrates the workflow. Additional documentation is available in the General User Manual, Chapter 17.4 – DXF Drawing Importer, which explains the available options and the import procedure in detail. The example network used in the manual serves as a practical tutorial for understanding how DXF geometry is converted into Flownex network elements.
For project-specific DXF files or advanced import requirements, a support case can be created for further assistance.
