Hi all
I'm looking to make an O-ring groove on a cylindrical surface and around a hole?
I can't represent it correctly in 3d!
Anyone have an idea?
(on Solidworks 2014 sp.5)
Thanks in advance
Is a revolution not enough?

By making a concentric circle at the drilling and then use the curved function to get the trajectory.

After creating a plane passing through the axis of the hole, sketch the profile of the groove, then remove material by revolution, having made the temporary axes appear in the display menu.
No, a revolution is not enough.
The projected curve is the best solution yes, it gives me a better result than a spline around the drilling.
Thank you
I want a preview of the result because I don't follow too much there.
An O-ring is really circular?!
Hello
You can also do a simple removal of material by extrusion, specifying "translated in relation to the surface", "translating the surface".
