Question

REPEAT ALONG A SWEEP

Dear all, 

 

I'm using CREO 10

 

i would know if could be possible to repeat a part along a sweep feature keeping a specific orientation compared to the assembly, for example i would:

 

-repeat the grey part along the sweep cut keeping the same reciprocal alignment

-merge all the bodies obtained in a single one

-subtract the body obtained from the white one

the result should be similar to this one

but the way that i obtained it, is not easy to use and to manipulate and the subtract command always fail.

Maybe there is another way that i haven't considered how to do this. 

 

Thanks  previously for the help

It is not clear to me exactly what you are asking. Look at this function as it may provide the resultant geometry you are seeking.

Hi,

From  what i have understood i can use this function only if the body is obtained from a revolution but the body that i'm considering is something with a particular shape like a shaped bottle. 

 

Thanks

I am still not clear on exactly what you need to do with the geometry. Can you explain the requirement of "-repeat the grey part along the sweep cut keeping the same reciprocal alignment" with some sketches or screen shots.

 

The picture in the first post of the desired result looks like a result of a helical sweep (helix trajectory) of a constant cross section with a variable pitch.

Up to now i've been able to generate a similar resut with a geometry obtained by a surface cut on multiple points. 

A quite complicate solution but seems a relly strong and robust result, Also the definition of the pitch etc is done in really helpful way. 

 

I still have to do tests with a non circular surface but it looks promising. 

 

Attached the video tutorial.
