I'm stuck halfway of construction of parametric conical helix antenna on a dielectric. I have created an intersection line but struggling to make it a planar surface on top of the conical object as shown in the picture attached. I also have attached the Solidworks file. please help.
Probably a better question on a Solidworks forum, but... Anyway, are you trying to make the conductor ribbon conical in shape or cylindrical in shape? In other words, is it taped down directly to the cone, or is it a sliced tube with a continually reducing diameter along the spiral? That's what your picture looks like.
I just took a look at the file and see that you're probably having trouble keeping the profile oriented correctly. I suspect that's due to the way you built your path. I'm not sure why you used a sweep to make your cone to begin with as opposed to using a revolve. But your 3D sketch won't create the sweep you want with the default "minimum twist" setting. However, if I use the side of the rectangle as a direction vector, it appears to do fine. On the other hand, if I use the standard helix tool to create the spiral line, then the profile follows it just fine.
Agree with the sentence The Solidworks HELP can give the answer.
Kind regard
