[Modeler3D]unable to sweep along path

[gnimdu]

I encountered a strange behaviour of the modeler.
I was trying to build part of an helix that could have different section.

I use these two approaches :

1. first approach (using circle)

- Section creation
center_pos = [0,-0.02,0]
dimensions = [0.005, 0.005]
position = [center_pos[0]-0.005/2, center_pos[1]-0.005/2, 0]
coil1 = modeler.create_circle(cs_plane="YZ", position=center_pos, radius=0.0025, name="coil1")

- Path creation
sweep_path_1 = modeler.create_equationbased_curve(x_t=str(-0.02)+"*sin(_t)", y_t=str(0.02)+"*cos(_t)", z_t=str(0.00087)+"*_t", t_start=0, t_end=math.pi/2, num_points=0, name="sweep_path_1", )

- Sweep along path

sweep_res1 = modeler.sweep_along_path(coil1, sweep_path_1)

2.second approach (using rectangle+fillet)
_-Section creation
center_pos = [0,-0.02,0]
dimensions = [0.005, 0.005]
position = [center_pos[0]-0.005/2, center_pos[1]-0.005/2, 0]
coil1 = modeler.create_rectangle(csPlane="YZ", position=position, dimension_list=dimensions, name="coil1")
coil1_vertice = coil1.vertices
coil1_vertice[0].fillet(0.0025)
coil1_vertice[1].fillet(0.0025)
coil1_vertice[2].fillet(0.0025)
coil1_vertice[3].fillet(0.0025)

the path creation and the sweep remain the same.

Everything went fine with the first approach, but i get this error with the second approach although i was excpecting the same result.

Can anybody help me understand why this last approach is not working?

@gnimdu I guess that was an issue from previous AEDT versions with Parasolid kernel. I tried in 2023R2 and PyAEDT v0.7.10, and it works:

import pyaedt
import math

aedtapp = pyaedt.Hfss(specified_version="2023.2")

center_pos = [0,-0.02,0]
dimensions = [0.005, 0.005]
position = [center_pos[0]-0.005/2, center_pos[1]-0.005/2, 0]
coil1 = aedtapp.modeler.create_circle(cs_plane="YZ", position=center_pos, radius=0.0025, name="coil1")

sweep_path_1 = aedtapp.modeler.create_equationbased_curve(x_t=str(-0.02)+"*sin(_t)", y_t=str(0.02)+"*cos(_t)", z_t=str(0.00087)+"*_t", t_start=0, t_end=math.pi/2, num_points=0, name="sweep_path_1", )

sweep_res1 = aedtapp.modeler.sweep_along_path(coil1, sweep_path_1)


center_pos = [0,-0.02,0]
dimensions = [0.005, 0.005]
position = [center_pos[0]-0.005/2, center_pos[1]-0.005/2, 0]
coil2 = aedtapp.modeler.create_rectangle(csPlane="YZ", position=position, dimension_list=dimensions, name="coil2")
coil2_vertice = coil2.vertices
coil2_vertice[0].fillet(0.0025)
coil2_vertice[1].fillet(0.0025)
coil2_vertice[2].fillet(0.0025)
coil2_vertice[3].fillet(0.0025)

sweep_path_2 = aedtapp.modeler.create_equationbased_curve(x_t=str(-0.02)+"*sin(_t)", y_t=str(0.02)+"*cos(_t)", z_t=str(0.00087)+"*_t", t_start=0, t_end=math.pi/2, num_points=0, name="sweep_path_2", )

sweep_res2 = aedtapp.modeler.sweep_along_path(coil2, sweep_path_2)


aedtapp.release_desktop(False, False)
