Sweeping in Ansys

rsbabu2 · August 13, 2014, 16:50

I have created a geometry where I am sweeping a circle along a path in 3D. But, when the solid geometry is created after sweeping, the cross section is not a circle anymore. (Image attached) It seems to be ‘flatter’ and appears more like an oval / ellipse. I have attached my project. What am I doing wrong? I want it look like as if you took a long circular cylinder and ‘bent’ it along this 3D path.
