Hello,
I am trying to model a spiral wire reinforced hydraulic hose similar to the one in the attachment. I was looking to model it in Solidworks and analyse using Ansys.
Does anyone have any prior experience in modelling hoses?
Is there any specific software recommendable for hoses rather than these generic softwares?
Also, if possible, can anyone with prior experience give any tips on how to proceed about it? I am starting from zero here.
Thanks!
