What is a swept surface?

Sweep Surfaces are surfaces that are generated from a section curve positioned along a path. Various Sweep types are available to extend the sweep definition as follows: Sweep by Two Guide Curves is defined as moving and adjusting a section curve along two guide curves.

What is swept in Solidworks?

SWEEP is the one feature in Solidworks that helps sweep a closed profile along a closed or open path. In this session, we are going to use a simple 3D object as an exercise to demonstrate the use of the SWEEP command in Solidworks.

How do I use surface sweep in Solidworks?

Click Swept Surface (Surfaces toolbar) or Insert > Surface > Sweep. Set the PropertyManager options. Click OK .

Can we generate a sweep surface using Nurbs surface?

Unfortunately, even though curves C₁(u) and C₂(v) are both NURBS curves, the generated swept surface may not have a NURBS representation. This will cause problems, since the resulting surface cannot be processed with existing techniques.

What is a sweep cut?

Solidworks swept cut is features tool, mainly used to cut a solid model or part by sweeping a completely closed profile along an open or closed path. To use swept cut, you should need a closed profile and open or closed path, which may be line, helix, and circle, rectangular or arc etc.

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. With the sweep method, the user defines a 2-D or 3-D guide curve, in addition to creating the cross-section.

How do you surface sweep?

If you are using guide curves, create coincident or pierce relations between the guide curves and the profile. Click Swept Surface (Surfaces toolbar) or Insert > Surface > Sweep. Set the PropertyManager options. Click OK .

For cut sweeps only, you create a solid sweep by moving a tool body along a path. The path must be tangent within itself (no sharp corners) and begin at a point on or within the tool body profile.
