Swept boss with guide curve does not close

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

I am an industrial engineering student and I use solidworks in its 2015 version in my spare time as a hobby.

I recently had a tricky problem for the low level of knowledge I have: a Moebius ribbon with a traingular cross-section. After several unsuccessful attempts I have achieved my goals, but one last detail remains and bothers me: the function does not end. There is still a small gap that prevents the two ends of the "ribbon" from joining. Having already searched in the help integrated into the software and on several forums, I turn to you. Do you have a solution for me?

Have a good evening and thank you in advance.

Attached are the visuals for clarity.

PS: My level is probably not that of the majority of people here, be indulgent if it's a mistake of blue:D

Hello

Can you put your piece so we can take a look at it???

Hello

I think it must be achievable by projecting spirals on a cone, or by using the bending function.

Edit: actually it's much simpler with a swipe and a twist.

see if you like it?

as it doesn't go one pass

I did 2 volume smoothing

and the guide curve is the axis

The rotation is 240°

60° / 1/4 circle

see attached file SW 2012

@GT22: Your Moebius ring is ugly :hihi :) It's all green:)

It has only one side (well, if we can follow it:))

Yves.t, you should make him a tutorial because you're in 2016 if I'm not mistaken according to your screen and he's in 2015...

Thank you all for your answers:D

I hadn't thought to try to split the course in two, because when the path to follow is closed, the software refuses to perform a different rotation of a full lap multiple :/

See you for future experiences:)
