4 reasons for using Flexible Pipe simulations

Manufacturers are constantly trying to come up with more robust and cost efficient solutions. Design cycles and overall time-to-market are becoming shorter and shorter. Pipe manufacturers must increase product reliability by eliminating expensive iterations during the design process. They want to check the key features of their pipes as sonn as possible, including curvature, torsion, number of connectors and supports, detection of possible collisions, etc.

What does it mean? It means that for reasons mentioned above, flexible pipe simulations are more and more interesting for whole industry.

• 1. It is unique solution mixing ease of use and advanced FE analysis.
• 2. Flexible pipes are present everywhere in modern industries: from automotive to airplanes, helicopters, heavy machinery, robots, hydraulic machines, printers, electronic devices… (typical users are e.g. brake department, HVAC department, system integration or pipe manufacturers, hydraulic pipes,…).
• 3. It is integrated in NX. It could be also standalone solution for dynamic non-linear simulation (Simcenter 3D).
• 4. Flexible pipe helps you calculate the deformed shape, curvature efforts and collision information and also optimize your design.
