Horse Saddle
Horse Saddle
(OP)
I have done a search on this forum (I admit I am not very good at that) for "Horse Saddle", that is a Swept Surface where the Path (along horse's spine) is a Hyperbola and the Profile ("around" the horse) is a Parabola.
The problem is that as far as I know SW2007 does not have Hyperbola in the Sketch Tools.
I solved it by splitting a Cone with a Plane which produses a Hyperbola.
If anybody is interested in this I will try to make more explaining post.

RE: Horse Saddle
The split-cone is about the only way to get a true hyperbola. Is there a reason you need a "true" hyperbola? Is this for a real horse?

RE: Horse Saddle
1) what would be the Path (along horse's spine) is a circle segment - mine is a true hyperbola
2) what would be the "wrap" around the horse is also a circle segment - mine is a parabola.
Of course point 2) would be easy to replace with Parabola, which exists in Tools Sketch Entities.
Anyway, I am still checking the points on the Hyperbola using Design Table and so far it looks like I've got a true Hyperbola as a Path for Sweep (of Parabola), that is something that satisfies the equation:
x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1
Actually I am not getting 1.00000000 but something like:
0.99999940, 0.99999991 etc., but I think this is because of rounding done by SW.
