Bend and unbend tubes

Hello,


In engineering over time in the field where I work I have encountered this problem.


If I have a rubber tube or a connection of several linked tubes that I make in CATIA and I result in a length of the whole assembly or tube respectively if it is from a only piece.


In CATIA it is made with rays and specific to the application but then I want to make the drawing and for drawing I want a drawing where the tube is in flat condition from CATIA and this when it I use in CATIA configuration to be appropriate to the shape even if it is controlled and measured on the assembly table in flat condition.


As an example you can imagine fold and unfold from the sheetmetal module.The same thing I want for a tube, from the assembled state to bring it in flat condition easily and quickly.

In the image attached as an example tube bent to have it in flat condition without having two surfaces or something else, only one part that can control bend and unbend, useful for drawing.


If anyone knows if there is a way to achieve this easily and if you change the size of the tube in the assembled form to change and flat condition in CATIA or any software for that I would be thankful.

Thank yοu.
