A computation bug has been corrected and now, the new version allows the imagination of pipes…

On this exemple, we use the formula from Mr Blair.

Below, some screen shots of the steps :

  • Pipe Designer => the button
  • Hydroforming
    • Button DXF Hydroforming
    • Button DXF Hydroforming + check case “Cut”
  • Visualisation in A9CAD

Skeleton creation steps

  • Image 1 : default values for the nine sections
  • Image 2 : values for the skeleton
  • Image 3 : saving the skeleton parameters in a texte file
  • Images 4, 5 et 6 : DXF files creation
    • Pipe
    • Hydroforming flat pattern
    • Hydroforming flat pattern for cutting

Working on software update

I’m using the lock-down to check the software:

  • ConeDesigner
  • PipeDesigner

I’ve been debugging and adding some new features. I’m planning to add import facility to ConeDesigner so pipe skeleton could be easily designed as rolled cones.

Stay tuned because all user of full version will be candidate for an upgrade.
