bent tube

[datty05]

Hi Pro/E wildfire user,


Ihave a problem of creating the bent tube from the inlet nipple to the insert as shown below in the attached picture. Please anyone out there can show me how to create a bent tube in the assembly mode, I am veru appreciate it.


Best regards,


Datty

Look into Datum Curve, thru (2 in it's simplest form)points. Set tangency and tweak. That'll give you a trajectory to sweep the tube. If you want a more "mechanical" (bent hard) tube set up more datum points and use the rad option for the datum curve.

Have you searched the site for info?

I usually use a datum point array and a pipe feature.

another method can be to modelm it in part mode & make it flexible in assembly mode

use swept blend option.

Try to make a spinal bend. With this feature you can have a straight one for the print and a bent one for the assembly.
