spiral tube

[DANI-3D]

Hello everyone
I have to shape a spiral tube, like an enclosed image. What method do you recommend?
Of course it must be oriented in space, I thought of a curve generated by a series of points related to a coordinate system, and as realistic as possible.
Thank you, every suggestion is well accepted.

That's what I did for now.
It's a little weight, but it's not bad. If then another method comes out, better.

There's a discussion a few years ago. in comparison mechanical cads look at it.. There's also pro/and give us a look

if I don't remember badly should be ho variable sweep in pro/e or with trajpar


http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthre...rme-semplici-ma-complesse&highlight=corrugatoI in catia v5 do it with comb and sweep + formula read

greetings

dani-3d here is another method to create corrugated tubes, although
with features not to read.

hi rs4, interesting discussion, I didn't know her.
to be lazy is a little different the tube spiraled by the corrugated, because, precisely the metallic reinforcement describes a spiral.
Anyway, I'll be glad to see you.

thanks, but with wf5 I can't open the file

 

[JAMBO1970]

the file was created with wf4 you should be able to open it.

I'm sorry, he says, "I can't open the file."
Can you zip it? Maybe I can't download it.
Thank you.

ok,prova ora.

Okay.

excellent solution, pleasant appearance, good parameterization and formula in relationships.
the only peels are that, even this solution, it is good for a corrugated tube and not for a spiraled and the heaviness of the surfaces, but, for this reason, I begin to believe that you can not do better.
thanks for the collaboration

Are you saying that? ?

with sweep on reference surface

allego iges

 

[DANI-3D]

... with sweep on reference surface

yes, this method, we have come to the same result :finger:
Probably the best.

Hello, forgive me if I reopen this old discussion, could you explain how you made the last version of the pipe? attached there is only the exported file and not the part in creo.
what I would like is to get a real spiral tube.
Thank you so much for your hand!
