In this task you will use the Rake Sweep command to create a surface by sweeping one contour along a drive contour and a drive surface.
In the following example, in fact, the curve on the left is the first drive curve, the second drive is the surface on the right and the section curves are the ones in the middle.
There is tangency continuity in each internal end point of the section curves and in the contact point between the section curves and the surface. Continuity is only positional in the common end point between the first drive curve and the section curves.
You can accomplish this task by loading file "RakeSweep_ReferenceSurface.e3"
1 | Start the Rake Sweep command. |
2 | Select the first drive curve.![]() The First Drive Curves selector turns to green. Right-click and select Continue to end the selection of the first drive curves. |
3 | In the Second Drives drop-down list, select Surfaces. |
4 | Select the blue surface.![]() The Surfaces selector turns to green. Right-click and select Continue to end the selection of the second drives. |
5 | Select the three section curves.![]() The Curves selector under Section turns to green. |
6 | In the Constraint drop-down list select G0-G1, to apply positional continuity with the first drive (curve) and tangency continuity with the second (surface). |
7 | Select Preview ( ![]() ![]() |
8 | Apply the command to get the final surface.![]() |
