Bending a tube

Hello!

I am curious to find out if someone have time to help me out a little bit on the way to succes doing this part im trying to do atm.

 

Where would you start in a model like this, would u start of do a 2d sketch on the tube and then work your way, or you doing the model with a sweep interaction. Or u start of with the bend and work your way from there? I did manage to fix the circles kinda, but I think the bend part is the hard part?

 

So my question  if someone would like to give me a hint, or send me over a file so I can see how you suggest you would started this model. It is mm and not inches on the drawing.

Nice model. I follow all of the steps except the 'stitch surface', why was that necessary?

Hi Nigel,

That step was necessary to convert Surfaces to Solid but can probably be avoided. I am sure - there are some other ways to model that part. I just did it in a short span of time - that's why there might be some extra steps in it.

Cheers,

Igor.

I would go for revolve and bend first. If that didn't work, then it would have to be a series of lofts..

Do you need it to "flex" in your models or will it always be in that exact same orientation/angle?

 

There was a neat "bellows" file posted on here a few years ago that would adapt as needed..
