here is how it's look the hose .I was thinking about to make a formula to a line wich will follow the contur of the hose , but i'm not shore how to do that ,if somebody can help me ,i will remain indebted

Here's one way to get the centerline (axis) if the hose is split down the middle like in your picture:

1. change to the Generative Shape Design workbench
2. Extract both curves on the split edges of the hose (use Tangent propagation)
3. add a Line between the end points
4. add a Point in the middle of the line
5. draw a Sweep surface along the extracted curves (Profile Type: LINE, Subtype: 2 LIMITS, guides = extract curves, & verify Lengths = 0)
6. add an Isoparametric curve on the sweep surface at the middle point. This is the centerline of the hose.

Here's a similar method to get the centerline, if the hose is 3D:

1. change to Generative Shape Design workbench
2. Extract outside surface of hose
3. Hide the Part Body, so only the surface is shown
4. working on one end, add a Point in the center of the hose
5. add a Point on the edge of the hose (Nearest Extremity, or anywhere on the edge)
6. add a Line between the last two points
7. add an Isoparametric curve on the extracted surface at the point on the edge
8. make a Sweep surface:
-- profile type: EXPLICIT
-- subtype: WITH REFERENCE SURFACE
-- profile: pt-pt line
-- guide curve: isoparametric curve
-- surface: extract surface
-- angle: 0° (if orange arrow is not pointing toward center, click NEXT)
9. add a Boundary curve at the inside edge of the sweep surface (this is the centerline of the hose)
