swept parameters
swept parameters
(OP)
Hello,
When creating a swept feature in nx8.5, what are the parameters to use to best represent a rolled sheet metal with a curvature along its length?
I am trying to fit a rolled applique inside a cover and base. I tried using "fixed" and "face normal" and it generated different swept along the arc I am using as a guide.

I have uploaded the file in the scratch area.
Can I email you the filename?

Now exactly what is it that's the issue? It looks OK to me.

RE: swept parameters
Thanks for taking the time to look at the part.
I apologize... I used two guides in this swept. Originally I have one arc.
If you use the "curve length (13)" as the single guide, you would have the options for "orientation" method. Using fixed or using the face (Cover b-surface) produces slightly different result.
I am wondering which result would best represent when the sheet metal is "rolled" to create the product.
