Hello friends,
I would like to draw an airplane propeller and for that I was going to start from a profile (sketch) that I would repeat on different planes at different angles and sizes.
Do you have a link or the outline to get to that?
Hello and welcome;
In another context, I will recommend configurations and families of parts (see also the use of Configuration publisher) but aircraft propellers are complex to model so adding configurable dimensioning to them will depend a lot on your level in 3D modeling.
Thank you Maclane,
I'll check it out.
I'm not a beginner (SolidWorks 2006) and not an expert either.
For the moment, I have my Naca profile configurable by equations, the different planes of section at a certain distance from the axis of rotation of the propeller.
In a program I calculate all the dimensions of the profiles and their angle that I save in a text file for the SDW equations.
To avoid copying the base profile on each plane and adding equations for each point, I hoped to be able to make reduced copies of my base profile according to position and angle. All profiles are images of the base but smaller and differently oriented.
If you already have all the dimensions to vary as well as the angles of the planes to be modified, the most practical is the Room Family (Configurations) controlled by an Excel table.
OK great I'll look into that.
Arf or misunderstood but it's not about pieces here but profiles.
