Bungee cord lacing

Hello

I am building a pergola and I would like to model the bungee cord or the rope that is laced around a 30mm diameter tube and that passes through the eyelets (holes) of the stretched canvas. I can't generate the trajectory of the sketch that would allow me to make a sweep with a circle of diameter corresponding to my bungee cord.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Franck

Hello @f.armengaud 

You have to use the belt or chain function if all the tubes are in the same plane, otherwise you have to make a spline.

To make the spline, make a normal sketch that follows the desired path and then make the spline by snapping it on top of the normal sketch. Then a classic sweep that uses the spline as a curve guides.

Kind regards

Good evening

It may not be perfect, but hey, it's a start...

I think that by refining the angle of planes 1 and 2, we could have something nice.

Kind regards

Alexander.

Bravo @ a.eriaud

It's simple and above all easy to duplicate on long lengths

Kind regards
