3d polylinea spline with coordinates

[ericaferrara95]

Good afternoon to all,

I introduce myself, work as a technician and designer in a mechanical company in which we sometimes deal with co-design.
Today I have arrived some models from a customer in which there is a pipe they represent via spline, I would need to rebuild it so as to get the fold points and then make it become a kind of polylinea, how can I do? Thank you all.

Hi.
If you put an image of the pipe (the step would be even better) we would have your problem clear and maybe they would come up with some targeted ideas.

I think of a view in the 3d plant on which to reconstruct with lines and bows his spine
I don't know if I understand your problem.

tomorrow morning I send the .stp file

ok then explain to me what you mean to get the fold points ..
Do you need to reshape the tube in 3d . or do you need to build a tubular folding equipment?

I need to get the 3d coordinates so I can reconstruct it, normally I collect the axes from the straight traits and intersect them (in the case of the spline I have no straight traits):

bho.. I didn't understand.

I tell you my idea

with the command isoparametric curve (green) extract the curve of your pipe in step
and with the command repeating points (rosso) create a set of points on the curve of which you will have the coordinates x y z

Is that what you wanted to get?

then if you want to create straight strokes or circle arches. .
You have all the data to do it.
a circle always passes for 3 points

thanks for the advice, you simplify the work so doing
