Spring Design
Spring Design
(OP)
I have managed to create the sweeps necessary for a complete spring, and now i would like to combine the sections of the spring into a single solid for use in NASTRAN.
I have tried knitting the surfaces together, and have also attempted to combine the different sections with no positive results. Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, etc. on what I might do? Thanks in advance for any help!

RE: Spring Design
There is an example on the Solidworks.com model downloads area of a 3D fillet between a spring arm and coils. It is not a true 3D arc, but it should serve your purpose.
I have torsion springs models, if you are interested. I can be conteacted at the email address listed in my profile.
