The method for simulating bending of a tube by means of at least one bending machine comprising a step for calculating at least one cycle of bending commands (30, 35) linked with at least one tube manufacturing parameter according to a tube data set (10) and to a technological data set (20). At least one three-dimensional geometric model (40) of at least one bending machine and of associated mechanical tools is obtained according to at least one parameter (50) from the cycle of calculated bending commands (30, 35). According to the cycle of calculated bending commands (35), a three- dimensional and kinematic simulation of the bending process of the tube represented by the tube data set (10) is obtained by means of at least one bending machine and of associated mechanical tools represented by the corresponding three-dimensional geometric model (40). The possibility of manufacturing the tube by means of at least one bending machine and of associated mechanical tools during the three-dimensional and cinematic simulation obtained thereby is verified.
