Bending tubing, fishmouthing, placement
Bending tubing, fishmouthing, placement
(OP)
I am trying to create an assembly that has bent tubing components. I am not having much luck creating the tubing with bends, fishmouthing, holes, etc. Anyone know of a tutorial that covers this? Any other way of doing this?
Thanks,
Mark

RE: Bending tubing, fishmouthing, placement
Otherwise, I typically module tubing as a sweep aplong a centerline. Fishmouthing can be accomplished by creating a sweep of the wall sextion and using the tubing diameter edge as a guide curve.
To put a hole in a cylinder (tubing) wall, one first usually puts a datum plane tangent to the cylinder. Then, sketch the hole, and make an extrude/cut. If you use the Hole Wizard, Hole wizard holes can also be placed on the plane or on the cylinder wall itself.
I looked at your website. Neat stuff. Explains you handle. Feel free to contact me at the email address in my profile.
