Solidworks refuses to apply the winding feature. He sends me back: "The sketch plane must be parallel to a tangent plane on surface 2 ".
However, my sketch to be rolled up is on a plane tangent to the 1st surface. The 2nd surface is tangent to the 1st. The 2 surfaces are extrusions of 2 arcs of a circle of different radii. According to SW's online help, it must work... See image 1 below (orange piece)
My play:
Hello
Do you have the option to send your piece to take a look?
If your plans are tangent it should work, how were your plans created?
here is my play.
It's weird, I had already done the same thing but with an extudated spline instead of the 2 tangent rays and it worked. But now I really need these 2 rays.
For your information, the rolled shape is intended to create edges to cut the surface.
Hello
Under CATIA it would not have worked because the winding surface must be able to receive the profile to be wound out of sight this is not the case.
The same restriction may exist under SW.
"Edit: As you can see in the screenshot of the function, the bean-shaped profile is after coiling contained by the target surface"
Try to remove the symmetrical part and extend the surface.
Thank you
A small precision that does not appear on my screen view inserted above but in fact it is the sawtooth design that must wrap on the surface in harrico.
I'm trying to break down the operation into 2. One for each surface, with displacement and reorientation of the drawing to be wound. because I've noticed that it works if the drawing to be rolled up is indeed smaller than or equal to the target surface.
it's a gas factory...
Hello
If the goal is to have the sketch in sheet metal; Why not unfold the part using the unfold function then you click on the face to make a sketch and then use the convert entities function and do a material removal so that only the desired part remains and make folded.
2 problems:
- the equisse to be wound must actually be smaller than all the faces
- the plane must be tangent to all faces. In your case, it would have to go through the edge separating the 2 spokes.
Hello
Yes, I think you need to extend your surface, otherwise you can always project a sketch on a sketch and cut out after.
