2-Inch Sweep Boss doesn't work (Resolved)

[GIOV]

Something simple but doesn't' work. Any ideas?

 

[JST]

That sketch diameter did not work. Also, "rigid" did not work, which one would expect to be the case here.

Rigid does not allow the profile to change angle, so it ends up parallel to the last bit of the sweep, which is not allowed.*

If the profile is too large, the sweep intersects itself, but that does not seem to happen here.

I had to change to 0.06m profile before it would sweep. 0.061 was too big. Apparently the software decided it would intersect or otherwise not "result in a valid body".

* The help refernce associates "entire path" with "rigid" which is not appropriate. Rigid cannot be applied if the sweep turns 90 degrees.

JST,

f the profile is too large, the sweep intersects itself, but that does not seem to happen here.

Yes, I think that is my case. I need change the radius more than the section radius. How much must be the proportion in the equation editor?

 

[GIOV]

But as you said. I changed the path radius to 1.5 of the section radius and the end the section is parallel to the original section and not at 90 degree of the path. What is my mistake. I view the videos and I didn't find Part Feature Sweep. My be I need Stefan help!

 

[GIOV]

In my old 32 bits run Ok...Why? I don't know..

 

[GIOV]

Mysterious. I re-do another part and run Perfect

 

[GIOV]

Only one detail. I have appreciated better Color Reflectivity in my old version that used the legacy Display and I don't need more. Like it.

 

[HaroldL]

For some reason it didn't like your path. I replaced the path with a new sketch and it worked.

 

[GIOV]

Yes I did the same. Halloween Mystery...

 

[JST]

The parallel part was due to using "rigid". That holds the profile in the same orientation through the sweep. Uncheck that, and the profile will be at 90 deg to the path.

 

[HaroldL]

Uncheck that, and the profile will be at 90 deg to the path.

When I did that the sweep did not update correctly, Only when I replaced the sketch did it sweep, with Rigid unchecked. But this has been marked Resolved so that, as they say, is that.

 

[GIOV]

Thanks JST and HaroldL,
I finish my manifold and the 1.5&2-Inch elbow in metric units is ok. I did this with the 45 degree path option.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just do a revolve?
