I am beginning to think I am doing this incorrectly.
What I am doing is first draw a line in sketch mode on front plane.
Then upload ibl by
Insert>Model Datum>Curve>File>Select csys
Then I select the curve and do revolve. It tells me to select a sketch but I can't select the curve.
Are these...
by the way the end product should look something like this (this was done by just using Spline tool and tracing it by hand):http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3468e2ec-f4c8-421e-966e-5235b60f83ac&file=nozzle4.jpg
I am trying to revolve it around the Y axis to make a bottleneck shape. I feel like there is a way for pro e to trace the blue line created by uploaded the .ibl file on the sketch mode so that I can actually revolve it.
Here is the .ibl file...
after doing some research i found out how to use .ibl...
i put it in this form:
Open Curve
Begin section ! 1
Begin curve ! 0
then points
Begin section ! 2
Begin curve ! 1
more points.
However I still have the same problem I was facing with my 10000points method. I have...
the distance between the points are very minimal
Example:
x y z
8.8899995e+000 2.0261072e+001 0.0000000e+000
8.8899994e+000 2.0259040e+001 0.0000000e+000
8.8899993e+000 2.0257008e+001 0.0000000e+000
8.8899993e+000 2.0254976e+001 0.0000000e+000
8.8899992e+000 2.0252944e+001...
By the way, my points are in this form:
0 0 0
1 2 0
2 5 0
etc etc
and it makes a curve similar to a cubic equation
To clarify, I would like to import those points and revolve it to make a bottleneck kind of shape.
Thanks in advance
I have a matlab code that generates points in a .pts document. The points (10000 of them) make a curve and I want to revolve that on Pro E to make a bottle-like shape.
What I did was:
Insert>Model Datum>Points>Offset Coordinate System
and uploaded the .pts file with csys as reference.
This...
