Part: Helical Sweep Create the solid model of a part by Helical sweep. Click on Insert -> Click on helical Sweep -> Click on Protrusion (add material)/Cut (reduce material) -> select the options in Protrusion/Cut menu -> choose a sketch plane for sweep profile -> draw a sweep profile & a centerline -> give the pitch value -> sketch cross-section at sweep profile -> Done
Helical Sweep vs. Sweep The sweep profile that gives the outer profile must be define The cross-section must be defined at sweep profile The centerline of sweep must be specified The trajectory of the extrusion must be defined The extruded cross section must be defined The cross section stays normal to the path
Create a Constant Pitch Spring Draw a constant pitch spring. Modify the height of the spring. Modify the pitch of the spring. Modify the cross-section of the spring. Modify the sweep profile.
Create a Variable Pitch Spring Draw a Variable pitch spring. How to change the pitch values at two ends.
Create a Screw Draw a screw. How to add chamfer at the end. How to add relief-groove.
