    Complicated Shape - Help!

    Well, your JPEG image looks like YOU are able to get it to work. I guess I don't have the knowledge. Could you explain to me how you did that?

    Complicated Shape - Help!

    rstupplebeen: are you able to "bend" the stent geometry you submitted into the shape of the revolve that I have provided?

    Complicated Shape - Help!

    Okay...so I got things to work (sort of) 1) I needed to go back and recreate the part using circular revolve. That allowed me to get the part to fully close at 360 degrees. 2) Once I did that, the flex feature allowed me to bend the part without errors popping up. Only issue that remains...

    Complicated Shape - Help!

    Thank you for the replies...the radial pattern idea would seem to fix the issue of me not being able to close the 360 degree geometry. However, I have only shown a small portion of the mesh like geometry. There are other features (not shown) that may be difficult to complete using this...

    Complicated Shape - Help!

    After I create a cylinder and cut the mesh shape out of it...how am I supposed to "bend" it so it takes on the form of the revolve?

    Complicated Shape - Help!

    I have two issues: 1) I cannot get the mesh-like shape to FLEX a complete 360 degrees (leaving a small gap as shown below). 2) Perhaps because of issue #1, I cannot get the second step to work. The mesh-like shape that has a revolve (shown in blue) that I am trying to form to. In other...

    Stent Modeling

    I will check out the macro CorBlimeyLimey...thank you. After staring at the sketch for the umpteenth hour...it dawned on me that I had horizontal/colinear constraints on some of the stuts. After removing those contraints, the sketch changed as I was hoping for.

    Stent Modeling

    I also searched the forum, and found nothing that matched what I need. The closes thread mentioned something similar, and the reply was that SolidWorks was not good at this type of work, that simulation software would do a better job, and that the person would need to redraw the expanded...

    Stent Modeling

    I have modeled what I consider to be a fairly complex stent. There are different length column sections, as well as an entire section that has a different pattern from the rest of the stent, so I was not able to simply copy/paste/mirror etc. I have (2) issues. 1) I have not been able to wrap...
