Twisted Sweep

Hello everyone.

I'm on a wicker handle.
However, I would like the junctions between straight lines and curves created during the sketch to disappear. I have, of course, hidden the visible edges in the "View" tab.

 

I know that the ideal is a spline, but Solidworks tells me, in this case, that it needs a regular trajectory... And refuses to perform the twisted sweep.
Isn't there another way to avoid, to hide these "junction points"?

 

Thank you

 Hello

Edit your path sketch, select all your entities, and use the Adjust Spline tool.

Hi lmandon.

Unfortunately, this does not change anything...

Always the same message:

 

If you select in the scan function: merge tangent faces. You get a result marked OK on all curves.

I can't read your message sw.

Otherwise what version are you so?

and for the spline as a trajectory it works well (SW15) too

I am on 2014 Prmemium.

I'll test it and I'll get back to you...

 

I don't have the option "merge tangent faces" in the swipe tool...

We'll see about it tomorrow, it'll be daylight...

Thank you again and have a good evening.

Viking Jump,

In my opinion, the faces are not merged because they are not tangent

I think the shelves aren't big enough.

With the test file attached, the more you increase the radius "D3@Esquisse1", the better you lose the lines of non-continuity, with 15 mm for example, you don't have any more.

Hello

I agree with @mcordero regarding the size of the spokes, I had the same problem yesterday!

The problem with a small radius is the same as it is in reality (and stop me @viking if I say something stupid) but when you twist with a small radius, the cross-section at that point increases because there is not enough room for deformation.

I think that your radius of curvature must be greater than the radius of your "flower", otherwise it causes a colision of matter.

Thank you mcordero and Aurélien Fives.

That's exactly it. I had to change my rating from 125 to 150 and my radius from 18 to 47 for the "junctions" to disappear.

Super...
