Cable modelling help

Hi,

 

I'd like to model a representation of a stainless steel wire (I'm not concerned with how the surface render looks), but I need help creating the trajectory - assuming I'm going to use the sweep command to create the solid geometry.

In Creo I'd create a surface then project a curve onto it. Is there similar functionality in Inventor or am I barking up the wrong tree?

 

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

 

See this link for how to model cable and wires: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016...

 

It would also be possible in tube and pipe, but it would require manually altering the physically generated tube or creating a new style in the content center.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Lewis
