Tubing or Piping for V5/R5
Tubing or Piping for V5/R5
(OP)
Does anyone know best way of doing tubing and/or piping design with bends
using V5/R5. I got as far as pasting a “Sketcher workbench file” .CATPart
consisting of two lines “L” shape with a radius connecting the two line gather
into a “Structures workbench” and using “Member on Support”. I can only do solid
segments related to each wireframe. In the V4 we use to concatenate the wireframe to project a FAC.

Can you access to V5 Generative Shape Design? My suggestion is using the sweep function under it.
First creat the 3D routing curve and then click the sweep icon choose the circle type , select center curve and enter radius ,you will get the surface of the pipe . If you wanna get the solid , u should select the workbench of Part Design , close the surface and shell it or add the thickness to the surface .

Question. On the later releases, V5/R8 does tubing and/or
piping apply K-factors for material growth under bending
condition?

Sorry not much help but there is an entire workbench just for creating tubing. As near as I can tell it doesn't work too well yet.
Good Luck-

BKelly as far as I know, V5R5 has a Structures Work Bench that uses grids and splines to sweep a solid shape. Again soon as I can up grade to R7-R9 I'll be looking into that K-Factor as well :)
Cheers everyone!

Yes, I started with V5R7 so we've always had the Piping Design and other Systems Design workbenches, I noticed right after I posted that you said you have R5, so I guess you don't have this option.
I looked and I did find the two files that 13910634301 mentioned, PslTubingExtract.CATScript and PslTubingExtractTemplate.xls, and these are apparently meant to be used to extract tubing data, which is what I've been trying to determine how to do - this gives me an avenue to explore further, so thanks and good luck on your project!

CREATE
1. Create you point where you want your bends (coordinates)
2. Press the Polyline icon under 'Spline' in Wirefram&Surface (or GSD)
3. Select the point and enter a radius for every bend.
4. Create a plane at the first point using 'Normal to curve'
5. Sketch profil
6. Create the pipe with the Rib command
7. Shell the thickness
MODIFY
Change the point to modify the corner
The rest modifications speak for it self.
Good Luck!
