Tutorial - Modeling rope in Creo Elements aka Pro/E

For making simple bended rope we have to follow these steps.
1 Make 4 cylinderical extrusions.
2 Twist them.
3 Bend them.
  1. Step 1

    Sketch >> Top plane.
  2. Step 2

    Now draw a circle of 10mm tangent to vertical and horizontal axis.
  3. Step 3

    Extrude it by 100mm.
  4. Step 4

    Now we have to pattern it about Y-axis which will create 4 cylinderical bodies. For this operation select the cylinderical body and then goto edit >> pattern.
  5. Step 5

    Change pattern parameter to Axis.
  6. Step 6

    Select Y-Axis in the Co-ordinate system.
  7. Step 7

    Click the angular extent button to make it equally spaced about 360. Enter number of items be 4. Click OK
  8. Step 8

    Now we have the 4 cylinderical body.
  9. Step 9

    Moving onto next step goto Insert >> Warp.
  10. Step 10

    Select the cylinderical body and then select twist tool. This tool will be twist the cylinderical body and give it shape of rope.
  11. Step 11

    Under references change the direction to Top plane.
  12. Step 12

    Input the angle value be 400. Click OK.
  13. Step 13

    We have the rope body. Now we have to bend the rope.
  14. Step 14

    For bending goto Insert >> Warp.
  15. Step 15

    Select the body and then click Bend tool. This tool will be used to bend the rope.
  16. Step 16

    Now change the direction under Reference to top plane.
  17. Step 17

    Input the angle value = 180ยบ and press enter. We can see that the rope is bended.
  18. Step 18

    Click OK and the rope is created.
