Hello,
I am trying to model a spiral wire reinforced hydraulic hose similar to the ones attached. I was looking to model it in Solidworks and analyse it for failure using Ansys.
- Is there any specific software recommendable for hoses rather than these generic softwares?
- Also, if possible, can anyone with prior experience give any tips on how to proceed about it? I am starting from zero here.
Thanks!
What are you trying to learn?
Modeling it is certainly possible, but do you know if abaqus would use it directly?
I would guess most come up with a psudeo material based on the layup and use shells.
