Create a function repetition by driving a distance + angle?

Hello 

 

I'm looking to create a sketch repetition of a small extrusion on a hollow rough by driving the repetition along a Z distance and an angle.

I can do a repeat via "Curve driven repeat" but I don't control the distance via the Z axis and also the angle.

I saw a similar request on Grabcad but the explanation comes from PTC Creo and I can't transcribe it on SW 2016.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards.

here are already 2 videos on SW rehearsals

have a nice day @+

Hello 

I watched your videos, it perfectly explains all the repetition functions but I didn't see the combined use of a repetition driving a movement with an angle. Or did I miss something?

Quite simply, I want to do a linear + circular repetition at the same time with the displacement control on the axis + angle.

I may have missed something on your videos but I haven't found an example that applies my request...

Thank you.

Hello

Can you put a sketch of what you want?

May the force be with you

 

It looks like a helical or a cylinder.

If it's the cylinder, you have to do 2 successive repetitions.
If it's the helicoid, it's more complicated.
 

Hello

 

As shown on the capture, a movement in translation + rotation around a cylinder.

it should answer the subject better

Thank you gt22, these two functions make a pair yes but I want to perform this action in combination, a repetition following a propeller by mastering the distance on the axis and the angle on the axis as well.

It's indeed a linear + circular repetition combination but I don't want to keep everything it creates for me, just the movement of the function interests me.

Here is another graph that may be more detailed:

I manage to do what I am looking for with a repetition per curve but I do not perfectly control the angle and the displacement along the axis of rotation.

Hello

Why don't you work in 10 mm increments this way you can make linear distributions of 20mm (you measure the z)  then rotations of 20° / slice  (you measure the angle) at the end you merge the bodies and the Toure is played.

May the force be with you.

Excellent, very stupid but you had to think about it! 

I'll see how it looks and I'll come back here.

(Sorry that a simple function doesn't allow you to do this faster.)

There is surely a solution but now I'm armored and I'm not too time.

May the force be with you

a walkthrough if you like it ;-)

via the curve repeat tool you should get there after you just have to know your distance which can be measured via your angle 

knowing that you have 360 on a spire easy to deduce the number of occurrences

see the constraints for the removal of material and how to proceed ;-)
