Sweep Bodies along the Path
Sweep bodies along the specified path.
A body can be created by sweeping a profile of sheet or wire body along a path.
Procedure
|
-
Create a profile of the pipe with a sheet or wire body.
|

|
|
-
Create a path with a wire body starting at the perimeter of the profile.
-
The path is not allowed to be in parallel to the profile.
-
The path is required to be a single wire body. Therefore, convert multiple wire bodies to a single wire body if necessary. See "Wire Body Conversion" for the detail.
