I am totally new to the Altair Software and want to learn from the peers and community.
Hi @praveen_singh91,
Are you trying to simply draw/sketch a tube at different angles or are you trying to complete some sort of plastic deformation /shaping simulation?
Hope this helps!

Hi @GTT Adam
I am trying to simulate plastic deformation in tube at different bend angles. Suppose I have to bend a tube first at 90 and then translate the tube to a distance and again do a bend of 120 degree at new point with a bend radius of 15 degree.
Thanks for the help
And what is the goal of the simulation? To study how much force is required to make the bends, or to see the stresses developed in the pipe during the bending?
The primary goal is to see the stresses developed in the pipe during bending and then if the force applied at the the bend can be different if bend angle is different.
Thank You
@GTT Adam Is there any example for this which I can use to do these type of simulations.
Sorry for the delay! I would suggest using HyperForm for this type of simulation, and using many of the tutorials, eLearning, or video references like the following:
