I am trying to create a 3D layout of a product that has hose/tubing, the layout of the hose should look like " ? ".
I don't have a routing package, will that be easy? any idea?
can anybody give me a hint?
This is will be a part of designing a package (Like thermoformed tray)to accommodate the...
ourious78,
maybe I am missing something but I didn't use spiral/helix feature..here's what I did:
Extruded the gear body (from a circle), then I made a sketch on the front face of the gear to outline the tooth, then made identical sketch on the back face of the gear, it was shifted 20 deg angle...
Look at the picture attached..if it is similar to what you are trying to do, it is actually so easy..after you create your first tooth (I used a loft feature) then create an axis (select the gear body and then create the axis) then use a circular pattern (equal spacing) enter the number of teeth...
Tsover,
Open a sketch (use the front plane) and draw a line (Path) at the center of the extruded body (I assume it's the origin..then using a top plane open a new sketch and draw a line (profile) from origin to any distance you desire (the line has to pass (intersect) the body..now you have 2...
I got this idea from Theophilus from the following thread (Rectangular Springs)
http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=204612&page=7
a file is attached, if you don't have SW08..the helix/spiral in solidworks requires a circle, to go around that you need to use 2 features to come up with...
Is there a way to print the whole screen, for example I need to print the model along with its feature manager tree, would that be possible? How?
Thanks
It depends on your path, if your path is an open curve or spline, you should use centerline loft for best results..
but if your path is simpler, just use regular loft that would save you a sketch..
for me, if the path is straight line, I'll go with revolve and save a lot of time..
Good Luck
in this example, sweep is a better option, becuse you need to create only 3 sketches..if you use loft, you need to create many many sketches..when you use sweep the software makeup these sketches automatically for you (of course...
If you want to design a simple cone (both ends are flat) you can use sweep with a guide curve..but if you want to have this cone tapered from the top (see attached), you need to useSweep with one guide curve and another feature to do that cut..However, if you use a loft, you can simply use only...
yes..I am aware that the handle is not a hollow, that why you should work with multiple bodies..I am not against surfacing at all but in this case using surfacing is not the best choice..I know you don't have SW2008 to look at my part, but it was so easy to use solids if you know how to play...
here's a pic..I showed the sketches so that might give you an idea about what I am talking abouthttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b2ba7fc9-7d7d-4254-b11a-dc8e3ad5c8e3&file=trial.jpg
I think you should start with solids and ignore any thickness (you can do shell later on), also, the handle you should use very simple sweep and adjust ends using (convert entities and extrude up to surface) that would give you a clean blend to the main revolve. as for spout, surface loft is...
I am sorry..I don't have an earlier version..but go to loft Property Manager and check centerline parameter..It works the same as guide curve but it doesn't have to touch profiles..
basically, you select your profile, activate the centerline parameters (on loft PM) and then select your...
Yes..I am with dezignstuff 100%..centerline lofts are more powerful and much easier than sweep..

Yes, Helix and spirals (Path for sweep) require a circle, and then you create any profile (circle, rectangle or any odd shape)..
but if you need your path to be in broken line (broken line sprial), you have to use 3D Sketch (very complicated in this case), create any profile and then use sweep...
