Hi all,

I could do with some help.

I have a pipe bent into a U shape and I want to change the radius of the bend in the pipe and make this a parameter whilst keeping the internal and external radius of the pipe the same. I also want to keep the straight sections of pipe parallel.

Please select all outer faces and use Pull. Then create a parameter. nSimilarly create another paramter for inner faces. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

nThis is easily done in DesignModeler. Is that an option for you?nWhat is the analysis that this geometry will be used for?n

Hi both for the reply,nYour suggested method changes the external radius of the tube which is not what I need to change. I need to change the radius of the bend of the tube, whilst the internal and external diameters of the tube its self stay the same.nI do have access to but no experience in DesignModeler so it is an option. Do you mean to re-draw the geometry in DesignModeler? Or am I able to use it to modify and apply the parameter to the tube radius and if so, how is that possible?nThanks again in advance.nRegards,n
