Create and Edit Flexible
Hose Routes
Flexible hose routes in a tube and pipe assembly are commonly used in machine construction
to transmit dynamic power, such as hydraulic and pneumatic power. They are defined by
placing fittings and hose nodes that determine the shape and appearance of the route in the
assembly. The flexible hose style controls which fittings are used and the structure of the
flexible hose in the assembly.
In this chapter, you learn how to create a flexible hose style, and then use the styles to create
flexible hose routes both in a flat structure and in a subassembly structure. You also learn to
populate, edit, and delete the routes.
Workflow for Flexible Hose Routes
The workflow for creating a flexible hose route is as follows:
1 Create a tube and pipe assembly.
2 Optionally, drop fittings on appropriate pipe segments or assembly
geometry to use as the start or end connection points for hose routes.
NOTE You can also start and end the hose route from any existing compatible
geometry or component.
3 Define and select a flexible hose style, indicating the route structure and
fittings to use.
4 Create a flexible hose route to connect the geometry or fittings in the tube
and pipe assembly.
