draw the spring

[Musical76]

Bye to all,
I kindly ask you a tip to draw a spring.
work with nx4

until the helical command I have no problem, but wanting to define the spring in a more precise way, that is with the last closed, or crushed edges, as you prefer to define them, I encounter some difficulties.

I tried to use the law function

but I have difficulty defining the long variable z,
if you can.
do you have any suggestions about this? on the best road to follow? ?

Thank you.

Hey, look at this.
I used a law curve to define the spire.
x and y are defined by function, while z is defined as law curves, ie as distance from sketch to x axis.
You look at it first rather than I explain it to you.:mixed:

Hi.

Thank you. Please? It doesn't work, okay?

Sometimes feedback is good I accept...:smile:

 

[Musical76]

Bye.

I'm sorry if I only answer now.
I took a few days off

Thank you so much for the part you turned me.
That's exactly what I wanted.
I'm studying it for a moment because it doesn't seem so immediate.
I have to figure out how to tie the scketch.

as I thank you for your help.
You were really valuable.

Good day:finger:

g.

p.s.:...then if you had time to explain to me also as:
I can pass the defined attributes in the part,
directly in the folder, automatically report the file name
and the top would also be the sheet name.
we say that I have the basic license of nx I have no available
pdm/plm ('na tragedy!!)
Then I think it is necessary to open another discussion about it.

Hi.

Nice.
I opened it and the first thing I know is that the pipe is made with multiple sections that weigh from crazy the representation.

Hi.
is a 'historical' issue using the tube with multiple or single.
It is a matter of understanding whether something made with the features tube needs to be coupled or not (mating or constraint) with something else, the multiple generates 'analytic' tubes the single b-surface.
I use the 'tube' function for example to make gorges for seals.

multiple iul generates much heavier models.. .
If you put 1, vague... if you put 10/100/1000 it changes a lot.. .
Bye!

I did some tests and got the following results:

multiple tube = 1060 kb
single tube = 896 kb
tube with section (option 'circle') = 684 kb

as you said it is about evaluating its use (the multiple is definitely the heaviest file).

Hi.

I did not understand one thing, to make a simple spring with the command "multiple pipe" the generated file weighs 1060 kb?
but in the 1060 kb is there a simple circle extruded according to a trajectory or other?

there are plans, a sketch that defines the law of variation of the spring (it is not constant step) and a tube that gives it a solid garment (the tube in nx, function "tube", not "swept", asks for a thorn and an external diameter + internal)

Does 1060 kb look like you? other cads are smaller?

Of course, always your usual "friend" :tongue: (1020 kb)

love... :tongue:
You have to do better.
nx data are:
multiple tube = 1060 kb tubo single = 896 kb (the photo I attached)
tube with section (option 'circle') = 684 kbWait...

ps. I see that catia always has circles divided into 2! ah ah ah... :
ps.ps. That's why proe doesn't have black edges! not to show the circles divided in 2!
