What is a difference between a blend and a sweep?
The only difference between a blend and a swept blend is that a blend is defined along a straight line starting on a work plane. A swept blend is along a user-defined path. Both types of blends can incorporate a variety of shapes and profiles.
What is Trajpar in Creo?
trajpar is a system parameter in Creo Elements/Pro that varies from 0 to 1 across the length of a given path. It is used to create complex geometric and non-geometric shapes that vary in dimension along the length of any given path.
What is Sweep feature?
Sweep features are defined by using custom 2D cross-section (or face) moved along a pre-set path to create a 3D shape or surface. A 3D sweep shape can be created from existing smoothly connected 3D curves and from selected edges that are smoothly connected.
What is variable section sweep?
About Variable Section Sweeps. When you create a variable section sweep using the Sweep tool, you can create a solid or surface feature. You add or remove material while sweeping a section along one or more selected trajectories by controlling the section’s orientation, rotation, and geometry.
What is the difference between sweep and blend in Creo?
a feature that sweeps an open or closed sketch along a specified trajectory. Blends. a feature that allows smooth transitions between specified cross sections.
What is a helical sweep?
About Helical Sweeps. You create a helical sweep by sweeping a section (cross-sectional sketch) along a helix (helical trajectory). To define the helix, you define a helix profile, and a helix axis (axis of revolution for the helix).
How to make a sweep in SketchUp?
Here’s how to create the sweep: From the Model ribbon bar menu, open the Sweep tool. Select the trajectory. Sketch a section for sweeping or select a pre-defined section from the Sketcher Palette. Reminder: The section is the profile shape that will be swept along the trajectory.
What is a sweep in 3D CAD?
Along with extrude, blend, revolve and so forth, sweep is one of the core capabilities of a robust 3D CAD software application, like Creo Parametric. When you create a sweep, you can create a solid or surface feature.
How do I create a sweep in Revit?
Here’s how to create the sweep: From the Model ribbon bar menu, open the Sweep tool. Select the trajectory. Sketch a section for sweeping or select a pre-defined section from the Sketcher Palette. Reminder: The section is the profile shape that will be swept along the trajectory. In the image above, the section is T-shaped.
What is a sweep’s trajectory?
A trajectory is the path that your section will sweep along. The trajectory must be a selected sketch, curve, or edge. A sweep’s trajectory cannot be created with an internal sketch. Here’s how to create the sweep:
