Create Hose Model
This section explains how to create a hose that connects fixed-position pipes.
[1] Click [3D Curve] in the [3D Curve] tab.
[2] Click [Spline].
n the [3D Curve] group.
[3] Specify each center points to create a 3D curve.
[4] After creating the 3D curve, select it. Direction arrows will appear at the connection points.
Hover your mouse over the arrow, right-click, and select [Perpendicular to Face] from the menu.
[5] Repeat the same process on the opposite end to make that connection perpendicular as well.
[6] select [Sweep Wizard] in the [Feature] tab, then choose the 3D curve you created.
[7] In 2D Sketch mode, draw the cross-sectional profile of the hose.
Click [Project] in the [Draw] group, then project the hose diameter from the pipe geometry.
Use the Offset command if needed to adjust the diameter.
[8] Click [Finish] of 2D Sketch, and the sweep shape will be generated.
Note: An error may occur at this stage.
[9] If an error occurs, edit the sweep path to adjust it.
In the Scene Browser, right-click on [Sweep], and click [Edit Guide Curve].
You can drag the intermediate points or move them using the TriBall.
After editing, click [OK] to regenerate the sweep shape.
Depending on the situation, changing the modeling kernel for the hose part may help avoid errors.
While using ACIS may result in slower performance, it is recommended to use Parasolid whenever possible.
