Siemens.LMS.Samtech.TeaPipe.17.1.1138.for.Catia.V5R19-25 MS, which was acquired by Siemens in January 2013 and is now a business segment within Siemens PLM Software, has released 17.1 rev.1138 version of LMS Samtech Tea Pipe, is a comprehensive and powerful software package for the mechanical nonlinear simulation analysis of many types of hoses, cables and pipes (such as brake cables in a car or air and water hoses around a motor). As an LMS Tea Pipe user, you can analyze the behavior of pipes within a Siemens PLM Software NX or CATIA® V5 environment. With LMS Tea Pipe, you can use a pipe manufacturer database to define material behavior as well as define pipe connectors and supports on points and geometries from CAD models. You can find the optimal length, the connector positions and orientations while checking collisions or curvatures. As a result, you can export deformed pipes to create a new pipe shape and use the input for further analysis. LMS Tea Pipe calculations account for: - Nonlinear geometrical behavior of pipes - Vulcanization process of preshaped hoses - Wheel rotations and translations - Dynamics such as inertia and damping LMS Tea Pipe benefits from advanced visualization tools of NX/CATIA V5, allowing efficient and straightforward preprocessing and postprocessing of nonlinear mechanical analysis. The results include deformed mesh, nodal normal distance, curvature, force, moment and successive configurations.
