XY Plots and 3D Sketch

Art Radomski Jan 23, 2014 2:16 PM

Does anybody know why a 3D sketch would be separated into multiple data sets for flow simulation on XY plots. I have created a 3D sketch for the flow path and I would assume that the data set would give data along the length of the 3D sketch. But for some reason it is split at some unknown point and I could not find any properties as to which segment is "line9" or any other. I can modify the data set once exported to excel but one would have to guess as to how the 3D sketch is broken up.

is it truly 2d? is there a chance any of it is out of plane
if you use convert entities in a 2d plane and use that sketch, what is the behavior?
happens only in this file?

i've seen something like this with multi segments but i don't know if there is rhyme or reason to it

  It is a 3D sketch. After reviewing the data it seems to have split the data set at the bottom of the bowl.

    that kind of makes sense because its plotting the same X or Y a second time

Do you have to use exactly that path? Can you make a 3D spline and constrain it to points on your original sketch? That would at least keep it as a single entity.

  Have not tried creating a spline. I will try that and see how that works out.

  Thanks that worked. I overlayed a 3D spline over my existing sketch and was able to get it to work.
