development inclined pipes

[8749michelep]

hello to all I wanted to know if solid works manages to develop the figures of a tilted tube both on the axis of the ascisses you order. I give you an example. I should make a cylinder with diameter 400, height in projection 900 and with inclination of 17° on the inside the axes Cartesians. I wanted to know if the software is able to develop the flattened piece and then take it to the machine cut it off from the laser and turn it off so as to get the desired piece.

sw has no problem flattening the sheet of a cylinder. the important thing is to know the bending parameters, otherwise the development given by the software (especially on the rolling) will not be the right one.
But I can't understand what you mean by inclination to the Cartesian axes, for me a cylinder is a cylinder; You mean how it's mounted?

I agree with michele. Of course yes, sw does it without problems.

in relation to the bending parameters I am well using the "k factor" with values between 0.33 and 0.25 depending on the thickness.

Yes, you can develop any object that you have shaped as folded/rolled sheet.
as said a cylinder is a cylinder and you will build it in a certain way, then with cad 3d you put it in space as you better believe, but the cylinder itself does not change.. If we got it right. .
otherwise post an image/drawn and we see better the problem.

as you can see I send you the drawing, perhaps I have expressed badly. on the 2d floor is a cylinder but becomes tilted type of pisa tower on the two axes say that z and x 17 degrees both!!!! the sheet developed on the side to be tilted will be in the form of s. I wanted to know only six the sotware manages to do this.

Yes, but still a cylindrical tube. simply it is cut "to slice of salami".
Of course the software does and develops it:And we'd miss it.

Thank you very much. Does the software export it to me in dxf format? One more thing. Can I also decide the starting angle? in practice the welding of the calandrated durums should be performed on the shortest point. I don't know if I explained.

Yes, of course, saved in dxf, dwg.. and several other 3d and 2d.
decide all the corners you want in space as you want.
the joint line you can place it on any generator anywhere in the corner round.

Thanks you are a genius.... You solved a problem. I was tired of cutting it and repositioning it and then seeing the corner cut the tube and flatten it. only that it will take me practice because solid work I can not use it yet... but thank you anyway. If you know anything to learn it, I'd be grateful. I start from an excellent base of the 2d autocad and something of the 3d

start doing all the tutorials well and consult the online guide. are simple, exhaustive and "pass"

..eh, you can practically forget everything:smile:
the important thing is that you have good knowledge/practice of design, construction and mechanical technology; in the end the program is not that a "matita", one is worth the other (in the context of their own needs), what counts is who keeps it in hand..:biggrin:

Well, of course I have so much experience both in mechanics and computer science. I'm doing a double job. Well, the design for me and boys. excellent knowledge of studied geometry and practice and I can apply it very well. in fact it will take me little to learn the solid, but it serves will as always the marching role of life. I want to have a lot of it but you have to devote yourself since I am responsible for the workshop and I do almost 12 hours daily work, and for more than 8 of which are p...e breaks. You know how to spend hours for the morons and maybe the new ones coming up don't let you go as you wish. I'll follow your advice. should do courses in video-conference maybe at home and comfortable would be a fun.. .

type solidworks on youtube there are several movies/tutorial.
See also here in the forum in the thread useful resources for users, there are many interesting links about it.
