Hello all, I want to bend a tube
Hello all, I want to bend a tube
(OP)
Hello all,
I want to bend a tube around a radius of curvature in one step and then compress the tube in the second step. Is there a way to control a displacement along say, a defined curve? Please see attached picture of the setup I am looking to recreate, with the bending around happening first, and then the two plates top and bottom, compressing secondly.
Any help at all would be appreciated as I am new to using the software.
Thanks in advance!
James
