Thanks for playing around with this. One of the things I have been trying is to merge the ends of the different sinusoidal equation sections but for some reason SW won't allow this and an error box appears simply saying "Cannot merge points" so that's not much help. Anyone have more advice on...

We are performing this exact mating procedure and using the same types of mates. The problem lies in the fact that the "FACE @ BOTTOM OF CUT" is not continuous and niether is the "SIDE FACE OF CUT" Maybe this picture will help make things easier to understand... Notice that I can select the...

I think my post was a little unclear. One of the parts in our assembly is a cylinder on which we have a cut a path into for a follower. This path was created using "Equation Driven Curve," wrapping our curve around the surface of a cylinder and then sweep cutting along the path. However, I...

Thanks for that detailed post. So, I have made multiple types of cuts with varying sinusoidal paths to simulate slow and quick linear motion, but now I am having a problem with mating parts. I use "Equation Driven Curve" to generate the desired sketh of the path and then wrap that around the...

All, Thanks for your help. On Friday I installed SW09 and it seems that the swept cut feature in 09 has a few more options than 08. The 09 options allowed us to do what we wanted and more. Thanks again.

Thanks again for the help. I used the equation driven curve to generate a 2 cycle sinusoid and tried wrapping it around the surface of a cylinder, however, the wrap function requires a closed spline/curve. Is there any way to wrap it and then close it on the surface, as the two ends of the...

Thanks for your suggestions everyone. Making a reference plane normal to the sweeps cut path did the trick. The next question I have is if it is possible to use a mathematical equation to create a path on the surface? Or if it is possible to generate the path in a principal plane and then...

Yes, but have had no luck. Do you know how the program makes the profile normal to the curve? When I click most of the sweep dialogue options, the resulting cut does not make sense according to the option chosen so I am wondering what the program is actually doing for a lot of them. Is it...

Using intersection curve, I have produced a sinusoidal path on the surface of a cylinder and using sweep cut, I was able to cut a rectangular channel along the path. The problem I am having is that the channel does not have a constant width because the rectangular sketch I am using as a...
