Sweep Geometry

Sweep Geometry

(OP)
I looked through the forum but could find the answer, so I thought I'd start a new thread. I'm very new to Abaqus, and python, but I'm learning. What I'd like to do is create a swept geometry along a parameter controlled 3D path. Starting simply, I've tried to create a path through three dimensional points like so:

L1coords=((x1,y1,z1),(x2,y2,z2))
p.WirePolyLine(points=(L1coords[0],L1coords[1]), mergeWire=OFF, meshable=ON)

My hope was that I'd be able to sweep a profile through this line by creating a normal plane and using the sweep geometry tool. I haven't had much success. Anyone out there that could lend a hand? I have a feeling that I might be using the wrong thing here...

Thanks
Deivn
