Deformable rubber hose with clamp

A deformable rubber hose with a rigid clamp, modeled as a rod with FEM ends, for automotive under-hood assembly.

Also called coolant hose, radiator hose or vacuum hose.

How is the deformable rubber hose with clamp modeled?

Coolant and vacuum hoses are pushed over a spigot and clamped. We model the hose run as a rod, so it bends between connection points, and the hose ends as volumes that stretch over the spigot.

The spring or worm-drive clamp is a rigid part that slides along the hose end and tightens.

Which parts of the deformable rubber hose with clamp deform?

Hose run
Rod that bends between connections
Hose ends
Volumes that stretch over a spigot
Rigid parts
Hose clamp, Spigots

What ships in the USD?

One USD file per variant, with the render mesh, the simulation geometry and a physics material bound to it. Every value is set and named, so you can open it in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and run your task, or read the numbers into your own solver from the material JSON.

  • Elastic rod. A centerline curve with a radius, and stiffness in bending, twisting and stretching. Used for cables, wires, hoses and ropes.
  • FEM soft body. A tetrahedral volume solved with the finite element method, with the visible surface carried by it. Used for foam, rubber and soft food.

Where is it used?

  • Pushing hoses onto spigots
  • Fitting clamps
  • Under-hood assembly

Industries: Automotive, Manufacturing

Questions

Which simulators does the deformable rubber hose with clamp open in?

It ships as USD for NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Newton. We also deliver MJCF for MuJoCo and Genesis, a GLB mesh, and a JSON file with every material value.

Can it be matched to our real object?

Yes. Send us a sample, a drawing or a few photos and we set size, stiffness and friction to match your part.

How do we get it?

Choose your simulator, format and variant, then tell us where to send it. We prepare the files and email them to you.
