Hydraulic Hose Material

Hydraulic Hose Material

Hydraulic Hose Material

(OP)
Is there any way to create a material for a COTS hydraulic hose? Specifically I am trying to get the weight. All the manufacturer gives is the pounds per foot of hose. Do I have to convert that to density or something to create the material, or does Solidworks have a way to input this? My company doesn't have the routing add-in so I am not sure if it comes with that ability or not.

Thanks for your help.

I think I have it.

I know the ID and OD of the hose so can get the volume in one foot and since I know the weight per foot does that give me the density?

RE: Hydraulic Hose Material

You can create a custom material with the required density then use that as the material selection for your hose. This would not require the routing module.
