I will post here my first nice exercise with Creo Parametric. The shape idea is the one presented in this paper.

In this paper there is a very nice image:

I have taken the liberty to re-create this figure with this output, though I have still some issues which I am trying to solve. My approach is doing it in an OOP fashion so I am using C++ wrapping things in classes. Here is a video of my process so far. Not bad but I seek perfection in my creations so its not quite there yet. For this specific work I am allowed to publish the code. So I will do it when its ready under an MIT license, meaning I will allow companies to use my code for free without restrictions. Yes this code they can use.

Here is a YouTube Link also:

    I am a bit satisfied with the output, it works but I want to discuss with you the dimensionality definition on the sketch .This will be pedagogical and a good reference for many new engineers on Pro/Toolkit, so for me also. It will be with an MIT license so that people in companies can participate or learn without closing the tab of their browser seeing a GNU license. By the mid of next week it will be presentable with comments etc. So wait for it.

    So here is the first prototype of the code.

    It will get better as I will add some comments. MIT license so look without fear.
