Hi,
Sorry if this question is already answer in some post, but i search and i didn't find anything.
I want to create a Helicoidal Winding and then i want to put 16 pieces around the top face of helicoidal winding. The idea is that the piece and the winding should be together, like we make a "mate" between the face of the piece and the top face of the winding.
I attach some photos so you can see.
Thanks for the time and help.
Regards,
Ricardo
Hi! Like JD shown in the video, this can be done by feature pattern based component pattern. Please take a look at the video carefully. That is the exact workflow to use. Basically, you need to create a workpoint at the bottom of the Helicoidal part. Then use Rectangular Pattern command to pattern the workpoint; the direction should be one of the helical edge at the bottom. After that, go back to the assembly. Use Component Pattern command and select Calço de Enfiar. In the first tab -> click on Feature Pattern Select button -> pick the workpoint pattern from Helicoidal. You will get the component pattern following the feature pattern.
Many thanks!
Hi! As we mentioned before, it can be done easily by using Feature-Pattern Driven Component Pattern. See attached file.
Hi JD,
There is an open-source zip tool called 7zip. It is very capable. It can read almost all well-known compressed file formats like rar, zip, and so on. We use it quite extensively.
Many thanks!
Hi! What I did was pretty straight forward. Basically, you need a pattern on workpoints following an edge. In your case, the span of the component pattern does not run all the way along the helical path. There is an offset at the start and end. I create a zero-offset surface on the inner face. Trim the surface so that it accommodates the offsets I mentioned earlier. Next create a workpoint. on a vertex. Then pattern the workpoint along the surface edge. That is pretty much all you need to do within the part. Return to the top and pattern the small clip by selecting the workpoint pattern in the part.
Many thanks!
