creo-pro efx tube profiles

[faucett142]

Hello,

I am working on putting solid tubes into my skeleton pro-e chassis model, using EFX 7.0. The problem that I am having is that tubing specified by OD and wall thickness is not available in the EFX profiles library.

The only options for round tube are pipe, and sheet metal pipe. I can get the correct sizes with sheet metal pipe as it allows you to enter an OD and wall thickness, but it does not trim cleanly when I try to do the end profiles.

This is our first year designing a car with pro-e. If there is anyone out there who has used this software before, could you please share how to add profiles to the library.

Thanks,

-Tyler Faucett
