Deform SW2004
Deform SW2004
(OP)
I have a cable that has a braided shield inside. Is there a way to deform this shield around and away from the cable conductors? The shield has an I.D. and O.D.
thank you

In 2004, the feature looks a tad more parametric, but now I'm so used to making parametric curvy stuff with other methods--usually sweeps--that I haven't yet found use for the new feature.
Wouldn't a sweep accomplish what you need?

I did on a very basic example. I used both methods curve to curve and point. See the config manager for the different types. I had to make them separate bodies.

I hope that helps.

FAQ731-376
RE: Deform SW2004
If you only want to "open-up" the shielding on your cables (assuming it is like normal coax cable), can't you create a new config of the shielding and cut it back some, then add a revolved feature to simulate the shielding as being pulled away from the conductors?

RE: Deform SW2004
MadMango, I know what you are saying, but I needed to model the shielding to look like it has been cut to same length as conductors then twisted to one side of the conductors to get soldered to another pin (case ground).
I have been drawing this on the dwg, but I have a customer that needs it modeled.
thank you
