Toroidal Bend

[Chevylover01]

Does anyone know how to make a toroidal bend bend the solid around a different axis? The tire models that are availabe online were heplful but I still can't get Pro to do what I want. It may help to think that the tire models are like a typical ball bearing and i need it too look likt a thrust bearing.

Dear Ryan,


Had you gone thru this model kept in file section of this MCAD central.


It is the "BOX with Spinal Bend"


You either search it in files section or just click on short cut and go thru the file.

complete the section and sketch mode,


you must define first and the last plane to make toroidal blend


"Select two parallel planes to define length of bend"

Thanks I'll have to take a look at that box Om.

Jipsy - maybe I didn't explain the question very well. I need to bend the edges of my part downward just like your tire, however, i need it bent horizantally around in a circle, i have managed to get the model to look ok but the feature fails if i go completely vetical with my sketch. What is the easiest way to post pictures to this topic? I can't get the option to paste my images.

Thanks
Ryan

Can you give more details about warp feature. Your post is very good because it is the first time I have a succes with the toroidal blend

i need more help/detail on the last step of jipsy's post - i for some reason cannot figure out how to put in the coordinate system into the sketch window in order to finalize it

 

[jipsy]

You can use sketch coordinate system that is under point icon. You see an arrow under the point icon.

Hi guys, I need some help with this. I'm trying to model a stent, and I don't need the first bend (profile sketch bend), what can I do to avoid this option?
