Non-linear helical sweeps along any trajectory in Creo or Pro/ENGINEER - EAC Tip of the Week

During this week's tip we talk about Non-Linear Helical Sweeps, or in other words... creating a helical sweep along any trajectory. This tip can be applied when users need to create a curved spring or a helical sweep with an odd cross-section. Because the basic sweep can only go in a straight line, using this technique allows users to go outside the "box" when creating a helical sweep.

Great video. Thanks! Anyhow you won't need the first sweep. Just create the second one and use the outside edge of the sweep as a trajectory for the sweep of the spring.

Brilliant explanation!

[@spearjr]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@Poor.Mans.Sweden]

very useful. Thanks.

[@rakeshkanna324]

thanks this video very helpful , can u make another video same trick using 3 circles to sweep along the trj

[@abdulaziza]

Thanks

[@shubhamwatke3171]

WHY THERE'S WARNING SIGN SHOWS ON CREO.. IN TASKBAR..!!
AND THANKS.. I'M SEARCHING THIS KIND OF VIDEO RELATED TO HELICAL SWEEPS FROM SO ANY DAYS AND I FINALLY GOT IT HERE...

[@3DSurfacing]

Great.

[@jayride_23]

YOU SAVED ME TODAY! :D

[@TheAzazaz0]

Great , thanks

[@ChachinRC]

Excellent information Mark. How would you reverse the helical sweep direction?

[@mganzer]

You'd have to reverse the direction of the angle dimension in the variable sweep at about the 2:18 mark in the video.

[@ChachinRC]

Mark Ganzer That worked! Thank you for sharing your modeling knowledge.

[@JoshZagorski]

Thoughts on parameterization, loading that into an assembly, and making it flexible?

[@icemantg3103]

Possible to that with a helisel form :) ? a helisel wire in rolling in a helisel form?

[@mikpiotto]

Do you thing that i could complete a full circle using this technique

[@kaushalchari5686]

How do I take my final coil out as .stp file for further analysis?

[@PearlofRocketland]

wow haha awesome

[@shreeshailuppar5805]

Thanks for your video. i want a number of coils in control , lets say i need a 10 coils (rounds), and here it is in one plane , i need it in 90 deg (L bend) and u bend, please can u help ?

[@shreeshailuppar5805]

Thank you so much , finally i got it.
