Edit 3D sketch curve coordinates

MisterTummy · February 15, 2018, 06:59

Hi there,

I have created a sweep geometry using a helical 3D sketch, which I imported through a .csv file. I know want to change some parameters of that helix (such as the radius), which would be as easy as changing the parameters in the csv file. I can't find a way to update the sketch though. How would I do it?

Can't you just import the csv file again?

Yes but then I have to redo the whole CAD again

Well if you do it once at least, maybe you can use Macros to record your actions when you do the 3D model. Then it could be easier to just change the initial point coordinates as input.

Is it possible to have the contour calculated within STAR-CCM + and to use design parameters for this?
