WildFire - coil modeling

[Mariusz]

How to model the wire on the bobbin (coil). The bobbin section is quadratic.

I am not 100% what a bobbin coil is, try Helical Sweep or sweept blend.
Draw your 3d curve (quadradic) then draw your section. Constrain the
two and waaaalaaa.

I wonder if someone can help me out with this. I added a "point" to the
"Center of Gravity" in
my "assembly". as i work and add parts etc to my assembly i would like to
have this "point" i
added changed as the "center of gravity" changes. I like to make a relation
between this "point"
and the "center of gravity", anybody know how to do this??

thanks

If the lab got you the good stuff, you can go to 'Insert>Model Datum>Analysis'. By
default, the type of analysis is set to the one you want - model analysis. Give
any name you want or leave the name as is. Then click the Next button. This looks
like the Model Analysis interface and it is. Only here, you can get out of it, not
just some text output. Here you can press, again, the Next button and go to Result
Params, such as XCOG, YCOG, ZCOG. When you click the Yes radio button to create
these, the COG values for x, y, and z are assigned to these parameters. Click next
again and go to Result Datums where you can elect to create either a result Center
of Gravity CSYS or datum point to visually identify, within your assembly, the
location of the center of mass. You can create both, if you wish, but you wished
for a point linked to the center of gravity and you've got it as a permanent,
analysis feature. If you want this to "run" at the end of the assembly regen,
select the ANALYSIS1, RMB 'Move to footer'. Now it will regen after you add a
component and give you an updated COG and an updated set of XCOG, etc parameters.
