Is it possible to bend objects while using a joint?

Assume that the bent nozzles were originally straight and the grey plate is a slider joint, pulling the four rubber nozzles to the right. Is it possible to simulate this bending of these rubber nozzles in Fusion 360?

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

Thank you for posting Smiley Happy

If you want to see the bent nozzle body changing as you move the grey plate to straight. I think it can’t be possible because typically 3D CAD program can’t be showed shape changing along with material properties like rubber.  

Therefore, Create bend shape changed (it’s not flexible, just fixed shape) or use the other program like dynamic simulation.

Here is a sample by using Autodesk simulation mechanical

 

 

If I missed something please let me know.

Many thanks
