To Route Flexible Hoses with Minimum Bend Radius
1. Click Applications > Piping.
2. Click Setup > Line Stock and select Create.
3. Type the new line stock name and click . The LineStock dialog box opens.
4. Set the line stock parameters and set the Shape Type to Flexible.
5. Click the DesignRule tab in the LineStock dialog box.
6. Type a value for the Min Bend Radius under Design Rule Parameters. The parameter value is used as a guideline to maintain an accurate representation of the flexible hose.
7. Route the flexible hose.
8. Check for bend radius violations using the Design Rules Check dialog box.
 
* Depending on the hose configuration, the specified minimum bend radius value can be violated during routing. A message appears when a violation has occurred. All violations of the bend radius are reported by both the Design Rules Check dialog box and the standard Creo Parametric Geometry Check tool.
