Parametric Pipes¶
Bend Pipe¶
The bend pipe is defined by 2 or more segments. Consequtive segments are connected to each other by fillet radius. The resulting curve is used as a sweep curve for an extrusion, creating the pipe geometry. The pipe has a constant diameter.
Each segment is defined with a Unit Vector and Segment Length. A Bend Radius defines the fillet radius between the segment and the previous segment. For example, Bend Radius 1 defines the fillet radius between segments 0 and 1.
The pipe starts at the Start Point.
- Capped Start
Option to turn On or Off a capped end
- Capped End
Option to turn On or Off a capped end
- Start Point
The start location of segment 0
- Unit Vector 0
Direction vector for segment 0
- Segment Length 0
Length of segment 0
- Unit Vector 1
Direction vector for segment 1
- Segment Length 1
Length of segment 1
- Bend Radius 1
Fillet radius between segment 0 and 1. In order for the extruded pipe face to remain aligned with the segment direction, a positive value must be entered.
Note
More segments may be available depending on variant of Bend Pipe selected

Spline Pipe¶
The spline pipe geometry uses a 2nd degree b-spline to construct a curve. The points P0, P1, and P2 define the control polygon of the spline curve. A circular contour is then swept over the resulting curve, defining the spline pipe geometry.
