non-planar o-ring groove

non-planar o-ring groove

non-planar o-ring groove

(OP)
I'm still in SW2007. I want to create a groove for an o-ring on a 3D contoured part. This groove will go around a hole for a vacuum. It's almost like I want to do a 3D revolve, which isn't possible as far as I can tell.

Any ideas for this one?
-Matt

(OP)
To add ... if I project the circles on the contoured face, I have a pair of curves. Can I do anything with those?

(I wish I could edit my posts rather than replying to myself.)

Never mind. Swept cut along the curve works. Nothing to see here.

RE: non-planar o-ring groove

Glad we could help. smile

cheers

RE: non-planar o-ring groove

Anytime.

You know, there wouldn't be much drama around here if everyone decided they could just answer their own questions all the time like that.

Dunno.  Shouldn't I be designing something right now?
