How To Do The Variable Diameter Pipe Lofting

Dec 08, 2022

Reducer pipe: used to reduce the pipe diameter of the part, its specifications according to customer requirements.

The lofting problem of circular tube reducer elbow can only be approximate lofting, because the solid surface is an unexpundable surface, which can only be approximately expunded by triangle method, or by rhino software. With rhino software, draw the solid first, and then use the flattening command under the curved menu to approximate the lofting problem. See examples.

In CATIA, Loft is the form obtained by scanning with a group of cross-sectional curves and a designated or automatically determined Spine, through which the surface of the form passes. If you specify a set of Guides, the form is also controlled by the guides.

You can specify the tangent support surface for the section curve, so that the lofted body and the support surface are tangent at this section, and you can also specify the Closing point on the section curve to control the twisting state of the body.

Lofting: In engineering survey is the meaning of the measurement set, the position/object designed on the drawing into the field position/object.

Total station lofting (lofting) : There are two total station lofting, one is coordinate lofting, the other is azimuth lofting. Coordinate lofting is determined after you input X and Y. Adjust the horizontal spiral to 0-00-00 according to the prompt interface, and then align the prism for measurement.

Azimuth lofting is based on the azimuth Angle and distance calculated by oneself. After the input of horizontal distance, adjust the horizontal spiral to the azimuth Angle of lofting point and align the prism for measurement.
