Yes, probably.

 

Post what you have and some examples of what you want it to do, range limits, etc.

I'd want to have these angles, with dynamic stretch on the tube

Here's a quick sample of what you could do.

 

The linework is two rectangles and two arcs.  I used Auto Constrain to lock most of the geometry together.  Then I added some dimensional constraints to make some parts of it adjustable and/or lock its value.

For the angles you listed, edit the properties of rad1 to have an increment of 5, a minimum angle of 25 and a max of 90.

Yes ...  but my version gets a little weird.  Some of the grips get displaced.  Its not elegant but it works.  It probably has something to do with my initial construction and application of the geometry constraints.

Some small improvement attached.

 

 

@thomasmigueltrombeta 

What do you mean with "more than one curve"? I could imagine several interpretations. Show an example please.

yes, however it's not really working for me. 
when i try to mess with the parameters its says ''one or more constrained cannot be resolved''
