Help With V-Sweep? Sweep along curve between two sections.

Help With V-Sweep? Sweep along curve between two sections.

Help With V-Sweep? Sweep along curve between two sections.

(OP)
Hey guys, First time joining and it looks like an awesome place to get help!

Anyhow, I'm trying to draw a basic turbo compressor housing in Nx 7.5, for mockup in an engine bay of a customers race car (to find room!)

I have a curve that follows the "snail" of the housing, and on each end, I have a sketch, one 25mm, the other 50mm. I'm trying to somehow sweep along the main curve, and have one end be a 25mm circle, the other 50mm, and it vary or draft in between the two ends.

Hopefully this make sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated, the internet has been useless in the last 2 hours...

Eric,

RE: Help With V-Sweep? Sweep along curve between two sections.

I used a Swept surface (see attached model) along a path using a law function for the 'draft'.

Thank you very much John! I didn't know you could do this with NX that way. I'm going to have to dive into law functions now, seems very useful to learn...

Regards,
Eric
