Squeezed tube (103)
Squeezed tube (103) creates a squeezed part between two tube profiles. The squeezed part can be either a tube that is squeezed at one end and then welded to a plate, or a contour plate. It is also possible to define a connection where no squeezed tubes or contour plates are created, but the profiles are connected with cuts, fittings, and welds.

Picture tab
Use the Picture tab to define the shape and dimensions of the squeezed part, and whether the profiles are connected with a squeezed part or with cuts, fittings, or welds.
Squeezed part
The first five options create squeezed tubes and contour plates.
The last six options do not create new parts but line cuts, fittings and welds.

Description |
Example |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Default Main and secondary parts are tube profiles. A plate is used as a connecting profile, with one wide end and one parallel end. |
|
|
|
A squeezed part and a contour plate are created. The tube profile reduces to a contour plate. You can define the length of the squeezed part using dimension b. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
Same as the Default option. Use dimensions a and b to define the length of the wide part and the parallel part of the plate. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
Use dimensions a and b to define the plate length. The plate widens along its length. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
Use dimensions a and b to define the plate length. The widening starts at the squeezed part and continues along the contour plate. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
No new parts are created. The secondary part is adapted to the main part using a fitting and a line cut. Use dimension c to define an offset from the centerline of the main part (default value = 15 mm). Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
No new parts are created. The secondary part is adapted to the main part using a fitting and two line cuts. Use dimension d to define the distance to the center of the main part. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
No new parts are created. The secondary part is shortened with a fitting. Optionally, the secondary part can be welded to the main part. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
No new parts are created. The secondary part is shortened with a line cut. Optionally, the secondary part can be welded to the main part. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
No new parts are created. The secondary part is shortened with a line cut. Optionally, the secondary part can be welded to the main part. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
|
|
No new parts are created. The secondary part is shortened with a line cut. Optionally, the secondary part can be welded to main part. Use dimension t to define the gap between the plate and the main part. |
|
Parts tab
Use the Parts tab to define the thickness and width of the squeezed part end.
|

Description |
|---|---|
|
Squeezed part |
Thickness and width of the squeezed part end. The front end of the squeezed part has the same profile as the secondary part. The squeezed part end and the contour plate are of the same size.

Parameters tab
Use the Parameters tab to define whether the secondary part is welded to the main part, whether the secondary part, the squeezed part and the contour plate are handled as a single part, and how the squeezed part is flattened.
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
B squeezed part |
Define how the squeezed part is flattened. The options are:
De = secondary tube profile |
Welding
Define whether the secondary part is welded to the main part.
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
|
Default Secondary part is welded to the main part. AutoDefaults can change this option. |
|
|
Secondary part is welded to the main part. |
|
|
Secondary part is not welded to the main part. |
Part add
Define whether the secondary part, the squeezed part and the contour plate are handled as a single part.
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
|
Default Secondary part, the squeezed part and the contour plate are not handled as a single part. AutoDefaults can change this option. |
|
|
Secondary part, the squeezed part and the contour plate are not handled as a single part. |
|
|
Secondary part, the squeezed part and the contour plate are handled as a single part. The squeezed part gets the profile properties from the secondary part. |
