create a bending table for a pipe

[movia]

hi

Is it possible to create a bending table for a pipe which is modeled using Part module.This pipe is modelled using point coordinates. These points are used to produce a polyline with bending radius at some points.The polyline will be used as centre curve and a circle as a profilein rib command.This circle will be swept along with that profile.
Now i want to produce a bend table using this pipe automatically. Is it possible in catiav5.

thank you

The article is very good, but it lacks the information for the creation of bend table for the pipes and that is the one which i am looking for!

Ah, sorry, you want the reverse process? Export the bending center points?

If so, you can use

hi fedo,

thanks for reply,

But I am looking for bending-table for pipes and not design table.
What i need to know is, I am able to create pipe using point coordinates in part module.But after that i need to create a bending table which includes bending angle, twist angle, bending radius,etc for the created pipe.Note that I am not using tubing design.

Hi Movia

I believe in order to get the required YBC data( Y=length of straight;B=Rotation Angle;C=Bend Angle ) you would need to use tubing design workbench

thanks cadddict,

Or atleast is it possible to create the bending-table for the by calling the same pipe which is created using point coordinates to tubing design.

if you have points in catia i am pretty sure you can create any kind of information that come from them using a script.

thanks itsmyjob for the reply ,

i dont have much knowledge about creating the scripts, can you please brief me about that.

thanka again
