Concentric Repeat

Hi all

I'm coming to you because I have a small problem about SW, and I'm convinced that there is a simple solution that I can't find...

I have to make a whole series of aluminum cases with grooves on one side. The problem is that these grooves must be concentric.

For the moment, I make sketches with hundreds of concentric circles and I define areas of material to be removed, but this takes a very long time to do! In addition, the sketches are extremely busy and make solidworks slow down which doesn't help anything... And I'm not even talking about whether I should make a change in the thickness of the fins for example...

Do you know of a function that allows you to perform this operation automatically, a bit like linear or circular repeats?

 

I'll give you a little file for the example.

 

Thank you very much in advance,

 

Youngest child

Hello @benjamin_co

Hello

To gain a little in simplicity, you can use the "thin function" option in your thin material removal, so you need to draw only one of the two sides of the grooves, and the management of their thickness is done by a single dimension,

Hello

You can also go through 1 linear repetition and then a removal of material per revolution:

Kind regards
