Flexible cables - Modeling

[saravanans_87]

Good morning all,

I am now in a project where lot of cable routing available very close to each other.
Obviously i will feel good if i can transfer the cable routing idea in my mind to proe model.

I know a separate module is available in proe for cabling ( i never worked in that module & am in the final stage of my project - needs to deliver within 2 weeks),

I discussed with many and they all suggest me to create datum points for cabling using proe piping (just for representation and checking).

Any more ideas !!!

Use a VSS (variable section sweep) through a curve based either on datum points if you want to simulate flexibility or flat on a plane. Following is through a spline on three datum points.

If I understand your problem correctly, I think this might be what you are looking for:

you can lock the cable length using Pro/CABLECable module is needed.

hi all,

Thanks for your suggestions..

I have done it with the help of a datum points & piping(in advanced option)

so i can change the flow of pipe by moving the datum points..
