Hi everyone!
Small request for info on SW (>2012) and the round tube crushing.
How do you proceed on SW to build the crushed end cap?
Below are 3 different examples.
Thanks in advance!

Hello
There is a stamped tool in SolidWorks:

But not tested on tubes indeed, and I'm afraid it won't work!
A few tips: do not use fused parts, do not make a stamping too close to an edge (at worst make a cut a posteriori), choose a point of the stamped tool furthest from the body
Spring:
"Trick I used was (1) don'tuse merged parts, (2) keep away from the edge of the part, (3) picka point on the tool that is farthest away from body"

Hello.
By smoothing. See attached example.
It's not perfect, but it's self-explanatory!

@ Benoit I just looked at your piece
and this is quite telling for the demand
so our friend should be able to go out without too much problem
with these 2 files
Just adjust the dimensions and profiles

Thank you for your answers. These confirm my way of doing > by smoothing.
The problem is that the tube is not hollow. This can distort the mass. The case option is not usable in these cases.
For the stamping, I'll see even if I doubt about the tube.
