Simple and efficient representation of cable trays / pneumatic hoses

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

 

I would like to know how to represent pneumatic pipe wiring as simply as possible, for example.

We do a lot of machine work on Solidworks, but often pneumatic wiring is neglected in CAD, because it takes a lot of time and yet it is very important to take these details into account.

For the moment, apart from doing things through 3D sketches... I find it very laborious and it takes a lot of time in the end.

The ideal would be to be able to modify the curvature and the length of the cable directly in the assembly, without having to go through the modification of the 3D sketch, end up with overstresses, etc...

He must have a simple and effective way, right?

Hello

If you have a Prenium version of SW. You can try to set up the routing solution.

Thank you.

However, I can't do it at all. Youtube is unaccessible for me at work.

Would there be written tutorials? (I haven't found it)
