shift1313 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I was just starting to play with this a bit last night and was wondering if anyone was using it. I created a simple hydraulic cylinder assembly with rubber flexible hosing that was supposed to flex as the cylinder moved. I didnt get to play with it long but everything was working fine when it was adaptive. I would move the cylinder around its pivot and the splines would stay with it but this was lengthening the hoses and not flexing them. I went into iProperties and changed the hoses to Flexible and not Adaptive and tried a few other things but they dont stay with the cylinder any more. I tried adding constraints at the cylinder but then it would "pick up" the other end of the hose. constraints on that end would produce errors. The hose paths were created in the routing wizard. Do I need to maybe create 3d sketches using Projected geometry so things stay linked? Any insight on the procedure would be great. Thanks Quote
shift1313 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Posted September 29, 2009 I guess no one out there uses it? I still am unable to get the flexible hose working. Adaptive works just fine but again i would like to enter a length hose, some control points and have them flex with the cylinder movement. I think I might start again with a more simple example and see if I can get anywhere. Quote
Lazer Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 We bought the simulation package, I have only played with the tube part on a demo, looks quite good Quote
shift1313 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 ive been playing with the tubing off/on and still cant seem to get it to behave as I want. Still get the same results of the hose changing length depending on the components but not "flexing". Quote
kinglevel Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 ive used it just a little when designing a new chassi for my pc Watercooled system. Well.. i had kinda same problems too, its not very very moveable sometimes. i guess it might be an user error from me, but its hard to get it right i think? Quote
shift1313 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 I still havent been able to figure it out but i havent put much time into it since this post. Its getting close to the point where I will need it though so I hope to figure it out soon:) Quote
