FLEX TOOL

[Robbo1971]

I am trying to use the 'FLEX' tool...

I want to apply two flexes to a polyurethane disc representing the disc flexing inside a pipeline.

The problem is the flex tool flexes from the centre point... can you flex about a given radius from the centre point?

Robbo,

I think what you are trying to do can be achieved by offsetting the trim plane and the triad to the point that you want the bending to start.

Why not just create two non-merged bodies showing the opposite curved (revolved) states and use configs controlling the suppression state. No Flex required.

Search YouTube for videos on the flex feature.
