The following elements are required to create a rectangular duct elbow for using in a duct route assembly. Please note that the feature names and dimension names except BendRadius@ElbowArc, BendAngle@ElbowArc, and AlignmentAngle@Sketch1 may change as per your design requirements.
Rectangular Duct Elbow Sketch
- A sketch on the Right plane named Sketch1.
- A square or rectangle, created from the origin of the sketch with dimensions named:
- Height@Sketch1
- Width@Sketch1
- AlignmentAngle@Sketch1 (mandatory dimension)
 |
Height@Sketch1 = 0.50
Width@Sketch1 = 1
|
 |
| AlignmentAngle@Sketch1 = 0° (mandatory dimension) The above image represents a horizontal bend.
|
- A sketch on the Top plane named ElbowArc with dimensions named:
- BendRadius@ElbowArc (mandatory dimension)
- BendAngle@ElbowArc (mandatory dimension)
Elbow Arc must be created after the sweep feature Sweep-Thin1 is created.
 |
BendRadius@ElbowArc = 1.5
BendAngle@ElbowArc= 90°
|
Bend Radius and Bend Angle
- A sketch for connection points called Sketch2:
- A connection point property on the Right plane called CPoint1 with dimensions named:
- Depth@CPoint1
- Width@CPoint1.
- A connection point property on the Front plane called CPoint2 with dimensions named:
- Depth@CPoint2
- Width@CPoint2.
 |
| Sketch2: CPoint 1 and CPoint 2 |
Sweep
A sweep feature on the Top plane named
Sweep-Thin1 with dimension named
Thickness@Sweep-Thin1.
 |
| Thickness@Sweep-Thin1= 0.002 |
 |
| Horizontal Bend = 0° |
 |
| Vertical Bend = 90° |
