After 15 years of drawing, using curve arrays for the first time, SolidWorks was so powerful that I couldn't imagine it
Call me a rookie, but I've been drawing diagrams for 15 years, I'm a master, but for the first time I used curves to drive an entire column of parts. I have been drawing pictures for more than ten years, but it seems that I have been drawing tofu blocks all the time.
In the past two days, a three-dimensional model of a harmonic reducer has been drawn, see → harmonic reducer 3D model , in which the wave generator has a bearing is oval, so the balls in the bearing should also be arranged into an oval shape, I thought that the oval arrangement was not easy to draw, but I didn't expect SolidWorks to get it with one click.
The pattern in SolidWorks is divided into a component column and a feature pattern, and the component column is divided into linear component array, circumferential component array, pattern driven component array, sketch driven component array, curve driven component array, chain component array, mirror component, and the types of feature patterns are similar to component arrays.
The parts I came into contact with before were square and round, and the arrays only used linear and circumferential arrays, and other array methods had never been used or studied. Today is the first time I have used sketches to drive component arrays, and I didn't expect them to be so powerful.
The following is the use of the SolidWorks curve array feature to achieve the oval arrangement of the balls.

SolidWorks is so powerful that I can't imagine it, with an estimated 90% of the features I haven't used or even heard of, and it's so powerful that these mature 3D software are almost perfect.
I love to find faults, always saying that it is not good here and that it is not good, but one day I suddenly found that I could not fault many products, obviously the quality of the products has exceeded my cognition and ability, which makes me very anxious.
The development of industrial software is not so simple, there is no doubt that the industrial software on the market is close to perfect, let alone software development, I don't even understand it.
