SWEEP Process:
Example
Sweep process is mainly used to create sweepy- wavy parts. Let’s
say the colums of the model shown are to be joined at their top
surfaces with a solid part of a certain cross-section. Since the
top surfaces of the colums are on different planes and along a
sweepy path the most convenient process is sweep process
winding-
winding

Since the top surfaces of the colums are along a 3-D path, first
from the list of sketch options select 3D-Sketch with a click

Then start spline process

Snapping the center points of the top surfaces of each colums
and the right click the mouse and from the menu select “create”
option. You have the necessary 3 D line to show as the path to
repeat the crossection for having the wavy part.

Drop the list of options for having a work plane and then from the list
select “Normal to Curve at Point” option for having a work plane to draw
the crossection of the wavy part at one of the terminal end.

In passing through the option of “Work Plane invoking process,
first indicate the 3D line as the path along which the same cross-
section will be repeated in space.

And then indicate one of the terminal points of the path line.
System will bring a work plane being perpendicular to the path
line at the indicated terminal point.

Then select the work plane and then
after a right click take a sketch right
clicking on the “New Sketch” tab.

Draw the sketch in the shape and size of the cross-section of the
wavy part.

After drawing the sketch, start sweep process by clicking on this
tab.

In the process first indicate the 3D line as
the path along which the cross-section
will be repeated. The wavy part will
appear!
