Basically I have produced pipes using catiav5 using point data,creating the polyline using those points and then using the rib command to sweep the circular profile.Thereby we get the pipe. But the problem is we need to have detail drawing of the pipe.We can create dimensions for the pipe but we need to have bending table as it is the values which is present in bending table that will be fed to the machine to get the required turning angles at particular length of the pipe. Note that we are not using the tubing design for creating the pipes as we are not exposed to it.
If you are not "exposed" to Tubing Design the alternative is a very manual process, whereby you create a coordinates table from your cartesian node points in the pipe.
The problem with this "manual" process is that as a designer you will only know if the pipe you have designed can be made, when production does a trial bend.
Several iterations per pipe will be necessary; model geometry changes -> drawing changes; unless you have got parametric points that means a lot of time and effort.
If you can convince someone in there to be "exposed" to Tubing Design, the process will be slightly simpler; Dassault used to provide a script (report) where the cartesian coordinates where extracted from the model.
Of course the investment only makes sense depending on the volume of pipes to produce and their complexity.
