Flex Conduits

Hello community

 

Has anyone modeled a flex conduit similar to flex pipe or flex duct tool? If yes, how? And which family is best used?

 

i am trying to find something that works similar to those flexible conduits between lighting fixture and a rigid conduit

You can use Generic Model - Adaptive template...

  1. Host family with 4 adaptive point + 1 ref spline through those 4 points (select ref line and divide path)
  2. Nested family 1 (Adaptive wiith an extrusion/sweep of a ring shape - 1 adaptive point for placement purposes)
  3. Nested family 2 (4 adaptive point, spline through point, place cirdular profile and sweep it along the spline)

Nest family 2 into host family and place it on the adaptive point

Nest family 1 into host family and place it on any node of the divided path then use repeat

 

...Parametrize pipe radius as you wish

...Parametrize divided path as you wish (fixed number or distance driven by a formula/parameter)

 

Load into project and place . the more the adaptive points are the more curvy the spline will be. I would normally use a regulated spline (3/4/5...points) instead of the default one in order to avoid sharp or broken curves. in this case it would be a 3rd nested family which I divide into a path

 

 

I don't know...maybe someone else has a better idea.

This is just for the idea ... One can definitely do it with several variations

I have opened a request to be voted on regarding the existence of the flexible conduit, to avoid the alternative use of flex pipes for plumbing purposes or generic adaptive components. Who knows, if more people vote, this old request is prioritized. If you agree too, please, help by voting at the link below:
