Hey guys. i am currently in the process of trying to produce a curvy metal tube, that would essentially be bent fro one tube of metal.
As i am such an amatuer on solidworks i am finding it rather difficult to figure out the best way to go about this? if you take a look at
the image below you will see how i have formed the general guide of the structure by joining sketches on various different planes. Obviously
the outcome i desire is for the joints (e.g. the one at the bottom left) to be consistently curvy (thus representing a bent tube). Obviously as i have joined the sketches from
different planes i cannot add a radious. What is the best way to achieve a curvy tube?
Thanks in advance
Luke
Here are some screen shots. Once you are in the 3DSketch just select the pieces of your other sketches and hit the Convert Entities button.
