This SOLID Saturday we have the animation of Pipe Bending made in SOLIDWORKS. Continuing the previous post this model features the capability of the SOLIDWORKS to create external references. Let's see how the animation of the bending pipe looks.
- Create model of Fixtures.
- Make assembly from that parts and locate them with required mates.
- Use insert component feature and click new part to create new part in assembly itself.
- While giving constraints you can reference those to the other components.
- Add constraints in such a way that the pipe should act with reference to other parts.
- Setup the motion study and export the output.

You can download the SOLIDWORKS Files given below, to see how it is made.
