Question

Help modeling a stent

Hi Folks, im trying to draw a model for a sinusoidal stent on creo to later be used in ANSYS as a part of my final year project in college,(Stent FEA) ive started by drawing the sine wave using an equation in creo, then mirrored this pattern to create a flat wall, im looking now to make the pattern into a cylinder shape before selecting my geometry for the analysis. but im having serious trouble getting the stent to wrap, ive tried a toridal bend but no joy! any one have any ideas or can help? ive attached some files below.

im also looking to have a different material in the core of the stent, but ill take it one step at a time!

 

Thanks!

 

 EDIT** ive added a second folder (two materials) with a sine wave with two materials, but i cant now get it to pattern into the amount of lines i want.

Hard to open when it is created with the Educational Version of Creo.

 

Do you have any screen shots of what you are trying to accomplish?

    Are you looking for something like this?

      I think toroidal bend will help but in this case it might be failing due to multiple mirrors, try creating waves using curves instead of mirror. I hope that should help.

        I thought so too, but I tried the toroidal bend with just the original part with no mirrors and still didn't work! Thanks tho!

        I created the attached model using sweep in Creo2. Is this similar to what you wanted to model?

          Hi Mosey,

          What type of stent you exactly want to model. I mean Laser cut or braided stent. Braided stent has lot of complexities as compared to the lase cut. I have made braided stent using creo 4.0
