Now, if you want to vary the shape in between the start and the end point, hit the icon “Add new set” under the Secondary sections and you will get something like below:Ĭhange the % Arc Length value from 0 to 40. You can see the just created Variational sweep feature like below: Our section looks like below:įinish the sketch by pressing the Ctrl + Q buttons. Don’t forget to give the necessary dimensions.

Now, hit the OK button and draw the section sketch. You can modify the already appeared default sketching plane by modifying the “plane location”, “plane orientation”, and the “ sketch orientation” options. It will ask for the sketching plane for the section. Let’s select the below curve (the blue one) as guide path curve:Īs soon as you click on the guide path curve the Unigraphics GUI will change as below: Now, you will require selecting already created guide path curve. You will get the Variational sweep window as below: Variational Sweep Creating Procedureįor creating Variational sweep feature in UG go to So, with the Variational sweep option, you have to deal with two kinds of datum curves: section (or sections) and guide path curve. By using the Variational sweep option, you can sweep a section (open or close) along a guide path (curve) and at the same time you can vary the size of the in-between the start and end points of the guide path.

The variable section sweep option of ProE is equivalent to the Variational sweep of Unigraphics. Variational sweep is used quite extensively in Unigraphics part, sheet metal, and surface modeling.
