Summary: Is it possible to create a swept blend with two trajectories, one straight and one curve?

Pro Gurus:

Thank you all for your suggestion and help.

Apparently Var Sec Sweep and Boundary sweep are the tool needed to achieve
this. However, I am still unable to get the shape correctly using Var Sec
Sweep. I am not sure what I am missing here.

I will try Boundary Sweep.

Attach is the Pro/E file, in case someone have time to check it out.

Frank.

Frank,
Attached is your part with a var-sec-sweep protrusion built on your curves. I think you are making error at using edge on your sections. As the name states variable section means that the shape of the section changes along the length of the trajectory. The trick is to draw your section relative to the end points of your trajectories. Notice how I dimensioned the section on this protrusion. The actual shape of the section changes as it follows both curves.

Hope this helps,
Ron

Ron beat me to it.



He's exactly right. When you use edge, you're telling proe that at every
point along the trajectory, replicate that exact curve, and that's what
it did.



You want to tell it to align the sketch to your trajectory intersections
at every point along the trajectory so that it 'grows' as the
trajectories separate.

Frank here is what Ron is trying to say but in WF3.
