development calandar tube

[Sp4rk0]

good morning, I wanted to know if there is a solidworks application, which gives me the development and the various parameters of displacement of a calandrate tube in 3d, for example a result similar to this:
This is the design that makes me an external study, I would like to be able to arrange without always having to ask for advice, what do you recommend to use?

Thank you.

create a sketch of an open circle at a point of a distance that can suit you according to the thickness, extrude sheet (you can define the thickness when creating the feature).
if you activate the development feature, you exit the rectangle.

the roller coaster tracks are not simply "developed". Approach a 3d spline using only lines and arches and following the creation of the 3d polylinea is verified that the generated error (from this approximation) does not exceed the tolerances of the cart.
I do not understand that there is nothing commercial, even because the user basin for such an application is very reduced.

I imagined it, in fact the study that makes me the drawings of displacement also evaluates the possible errors of displacement, I hoped there was some application in order to be able to arrange for the simplest tubes.

Thank you.

I sometimes made tubes of that type, providing bend directions in solidworks. the process I have adopted is entirely manual and I have created plans on the curves to measure the rotation of the pipe in the grille. apart from the audits of compatibility with the barbeque that you hardly do accurately, it is a completely manual process, which requires much attention, a minimum distraction becomes an indication error (and in production) and takes a lot of time. who does these works (and are very few) has software developed internally that does best and does before. ;-)

I understood whistles for whistles, I thought it was to make a tube of sheet metal, instead the tube is the artifact of departure and then passed to calandra. Sorry.

I used the swipe and a 3d sketch with the tilted planes as you said, but I reconstructed them from scratch, in this case the path of the track I echoed from 3d points that I pass in solid from excel files.
I thought there was a quicker piping application, patience.

Thank you very much anyway!
