Re: Create wavy washer in Pro E 4.0
Curse you and your crazy geometry Frank! Every time you post something, my personal time evaporates. I just figured out how to make single trajectories with rotational reversals... and then you show...

That formula I did find... /* Helical Wave/* Cylindrical coordinatesr = 5theta = t * 3600z = (sin (3.5 * theta-90)) +24 * t by Kevin Bradberry here:...

I tried that one, but if you look at an actual wavy washer, it's not the same. The coils actually have to stack (like the pic I posted), crest to crest, for it to work. There's one small issue I'd...

I did that one almost 13 years ago to the day (3/14/2000). Man, am I ancient or what???? But hey, I'm glad I'm able to push people to try new things!

A little work and I finally worked the equation for a cylindrical sine wave: /* Cylindrical/* r=radius/* z=half the height/* (360*3) where 3 is the number of full wavesr=1theta= t*360 z=.1*sin(t*(360*3))

Interesting. The wrapped datum curve and the cylindrical equation datum curve act differently in the sweep. And this is important in relation to making the sweet as a solid. I'm sure Frank has run...

Re: Create wavy washer in Pro E 4.0
Yep, I remember some issues like that. Funny how something that looks the same can create different geometry downstream. Nice! Thanks for the equation!

One more. This is using a trajpar, your favorite, Frank. This one maps the section correctly and is super-simple for a wave washer. See the latest comment for the trajpar statements: Tutorial: Wave...
