Rolled Plate with 'O' Ring Groove
Rolled Plate with 'O' Ring Groove
(OP)
Currently trying to model a rolled plate to match the exterior of a pipe, similar to a repair patch. Problem is that the patch will have an 'O' ring groove machined into the mating face of the plate, machined prior to rolling the plate. Is it possible to configure AutoCAD 2007 to produce an 'O' ring groove of this manner?

Can AutoCAD model a circular seal wrapped to match the OD of the pipe?

To draw the O-ring, or to draw the grove to put the o-ring.
The elliptical , is the pipe shape?
As I say before , the grove is not the same as the O-ring shape.
I will put here a link where you can see it
By the same way , you can upload your dwg .

If it is indeed the model required, it is not easily accomplished in Autocad; certainly not with anything older than 2007.
This was imported to 2004 (the version to which I have access) from Rhino V4.

So, can you tell me how to do this?
Thanks.

The critical thing for this same procedure in Rhino was generating the "compound" loop to serve as a path. Once that is in hand, however, any profile can be used to generate the appropriate solid. Standard boolean operation can then transfer the feature as needed.

Seant, that is exactly what I am trying to do. Only difference is that the seal shall have a square profile and a seal groove to suit.
So, can you tell me how to do this?
Thanks.
Can you give us some real data to use ?
, as
Pipe OD
pipe ID
Hole Diameter
Plate diameter
Plate thick
As my experience, the gasket is better to be a o-ring , just as it is easy to get , no matter the length or the perimeter,it can be build from a chord , cut to size and glued it´s end to make it.
The grove shall be as stated in O-RING handbook
