Variable Section And Helical Sweep Combo In Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0

by The Wanderer on Tuesday, July 7th, 2009, under Pro/ENGINEER


A friend made a unique request (to test me perhaps?). Anyway, he said he wanted a helical sweep, BUT with a variable section. Had to rack my brain trying to figure out how to get it to work. Tried the direct method a few times but came up against a brick wall. Couldn’t get the sections to vary using a helical sweep. Ultimately, I went with a combination of helical sweep to create the trajectory and then a variable section sweep to create the end geometry. Check out the video!
