Can a wave form sketch be driven by a formula
Can a wave form sketch be driven by a formula
(OP)
I am wondering if it is possible to have a formula drive a part sketch. I am looking to make a sketch of a wave form where the pitch and amplitude vary from wave to wave. If I could produce a formula in a program like Mathematica that controls the variables of the wave form is there a way to the bring the formula into SolidWorks and generate a 2D sketch from it. Then would it possible to change the variables of the formula so that variations of the waveform sketch can be made and thus different variations of the part. Hope this reasonably clear.
Thanks
Jeff

There is a command: Insert > Curve > Curve thru XYZ points..
You could get the coordinates of the curve from MathCAD then import them into SolidWorks.

I've written a macro that will do 3D functions and then some. Let me know if you're interested. Also, Matt Lombard's eqcurve macro on his website can do 2D plots.
