In Inventor, the Tube and Pipe environment adds design tools for routing rigid pipes, bent tubes,
00:10
and flexible hoses to mechanical assemblies or product designs in the assembly environment.
00:16
In this tutorial, you create a flexible hose assembly using the Tube and Pipe functionalities.
00:23
To start, from the Quick Access Toolbar, click Projects.
00:28
In the Projects dialog, click Browse, navigate to where the project files are saved, select Front loader.ipj, and then click Open.
00:39
In the Projects dialog, click Done.
00:42
From the Quick Access Toolbar, click Open.
00:46
Select Front Loader.iam, and then click Open.
00:51
In this assembly file, you can see that a few hydraulic hose assemblies are already present in the model.
00:58
You can use the Tube and Pipe settings to create a new hydraulic hose standard,
01:04
and then create the hoses that are required to go between the center hydraulic cylinder back to the hydraulic junction block.
01:11
On the ribbon, in the Environments tab,
01:14
Begin panel, click Tube and Pipe.
01:18

Notice that only the 1" option is populated due to the 1" pipe defined previously.
02:35
Click OK.
02:37
Finally, double-click the End Fitting listing.
02:41
Expand Parker Female Thread - Swivel and select the Parker Female Thread – Swivel 1x1 5/16-12 UN definition.
02:51
Click OK.
02:53
In the Tube & Pipe Styles dialog, General tab, enable the Use subassembly option to define the route as a subassembly.
03:02
Switch to the Rules tab, and set both the Minimum Bend Radius to 0.50 in, and the House Round Up Value to 0.50 in.
03:15
Click Save, and then Close to exit the Tube & Pipe Styles dialog.
03:23
Back in the Pipe Run tab, Manage panel,
03:26
use the drop-down to select the Hydraulic - M-F style that you just created to activate the style for a new route.
