Thicken the helix wire
-
Hello
I find a problem when I use the thicken wire
I make a helix(the radius is 0.5mm and the distance is 0.45mm) and want to thicken it to 0.05mm using the thicken wire. But I find a mistake like below and there are many self-intersect surface
So I try another helix which is larger than the former one like below
I find it worked but obviously the helix is not smooth. Is that mean the helix is constituted by many small cylinders so when I work with a small helix there will be errors like above.
How can I deal with this problem
Thank you so much! -

Hey,
You could try to use the solution that was posted here:
https://forum.zmt.swiss/topic/62/creating-a-wire-from-a-line-arc/2This uses the python API. Maybe that works, otherwise, you could try to dive into the "xCoreModelling" library using python and try to construct a helix using that. However, that might be tricky to figure out so let me know if the above works.

@PeterStijnman Thank you so much for your solution,I will try it.
