SolidWorks Hose Routing<\/h3>\n

Part of a dry fertilizer design project I worked on. I needed to make a series of manifolds to deliver granules from a gooseneck cart to up to 35 row units on a planter. this also involved (probably literally) a ton of stiff plastic tubing with minimum bend radii flowing over pivot points and multiple connection points.<\/p>\n

That’s why I actually took the time to model some of the hose routings, because I wanted to make sure of fit-up instead of cutting up a bunch of expensive hose and finding it’s not right.<\/p>\n
