Any ideas how they simulated the pipe bending in the attached file. I found this file in another post and thought it was interesting and was curious how they did it. I know it has something to do with linking properties but when I try that it has to rebuild and that does not pass to Motion. Any input would be appreciated.

Deepak,
Yes, I looked at the file but i couldnt figure out all the relations they used. I noticed that they tied in a sketch with a parallel relation in the assembly but i doubt that is the only one they used to force the pipe to change shape.

The full explaination is in the book "Creating Animations with SolidWorks"" available from the SW merchandise store at: store.solidworks.com. A briefer explaination is available in the SolidWorks World Proceedings from 2012. See the presentation "Smoke and Mirrors".
Hi Jim,
I looked on the Presentation Archives web page for the 2012 SW World Proceedings and could not locate the presentation "Smoke and Mirrors". Could you please provide a link to this? I would like to review it.

I don't know why you couldn't find it. I just searched for the title and it shows up.
Thanks Jim. I had been searching under "Design Validation/Motion" instead. I will take a look at it!

James did you tried to look at the SolidWorks files (link) posted there??
