Curve-driven repetition

3D Design Volume Model

Hi all

 

I want to make a repetition of a function on a cylinder and this repetition must be helical. So I'm using the curve-driven repetition function and that curve is a helical curve.

 

However, I can't get what I want. Let me explain.

I remove 10 mm of material from my cylinder. And I would like this removal to be repeated every 10 mm in the shape of a spiral. So theoretically I shouldn't have any material between my rehearsals. And when I make it on solidworks, I have a little bit of material left. Do you have a solution?

 

I am attaching my CAD file to make it more understandable.

Thank you in advance,

Gautier.

Hello

in fact the 10mm are X and you do a repetition following a curve of 390mm also in X so that's why you have material between because if you measure you have 10.26 instead of the 10.. You have to remove 10.14 from the 390 to have no more material.

you can take a screenshot we don't all have the same version
