Dear Solidworks Forums,
I am trying to draw a coil from an electric motor but I am struggling to define all the features.
Essentially the coil is about 400 x 200 and made from 2 strips of 12.7 x 4mm copper adjacent to each other.
The coil has rounded corners of approx R20, once it is made the whole coil is bent over a former to match the radius of the motor housing, please see photo attached.
I have tried the following so far;
Drawing the coil as 3D sketch but Solidworks will not fillet in 3D between a line and a curve.
Drawing the coil flat, defining the copper using weldments then deforming the sketch around a former, no success here either.
How would other people draw this model?
Many thanks, Alex
