Creating a Tapered Thread (Solid 3d model)

[jrjones]

Okay, a while back I asked about how to create a thread (or spring) helical pattern in CAE. Duh, of course the answer was to specify a pitch when rotating a sketch to create a solid.

Now to the next level, I want to create a small section of tapered thread. This means that I have to model a helical pattern of a specified pitch that changes diamater as it revolves. Is this even possible in ABAQUS CAE?

Thanks in advance.
