    Stent - metal mesh cylinder design

    I ended up using a less than ideal method that severely limited my ability to manipulate the mesh design. I made the argument in the project that this first design was preliminary and I was unsure of how the actual material would behave (I made some big assumptions about the material...

    Stent - metal mesh cylinder design

    Hey Guys, I have read a few posts on here before and this is my first time posting. I am not that familiar with solidworks so I hope there is a simple answer. What is the best way to design a stent in solidworks? I have attached a picture of one but you can find several just by googling...
