Hello,
I am modelling stent expansion in arterial models.
For this purpose, initially the 3d cad model must be designed.
I have the artery (1rst part), the midline of the artery (*.txt file) and the stent-balloon device (2nd part).
The stent-balloon part must be flexed according to the midline of the artery and afterwords an assembly must be made.
Initially I open a part file including the stent-balloon. Then the curve is inserted through Insert-curve -curve through xyz points.
The first problem is that the curve and the stent-balloon part are in different locations. Somehow I must move them to have same points but I can not.
The second problem is that even if I manage to allign the curve with the part, the part must be bend according to the curve...!!!
I would be grateful if you could help me ....
Best regards
