How to model a Mobius Pendant in SOLIDWORKS? [Step-by-Step tutorial]

Check 👉 learnsolidworks.com/workshop to attend my free SOLIDWORKS workshop.
Check 👉 learnsolidworks.com/mobius-pe... to download the SOLIDWORKS working files for this lesson.
In this 15-minute Surface Modeling tutorial, Jan will show you how to model this beautiful Mobius Pendant in SOLIDWORKS.
During the lesson, various (surface) modeling features will be discussed. In this video, I also use a technique to "stretch" the Mobius shape that few people know.

Thank you so much for sharing

Never heard or saw that face curve command before.. very cool to learn something new. Great tutorial by the way! 👍

[@learnsolidworks]

Thanks Anti, glad you liked it! :)

[@felipepino6034]

Superb way to clearly explain multiple tools! Amazing job. See you in the course. Thanks!

[@learnsolidworks]

Thanks! Glad you like it! :)

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Absolutely complicated but you simplified it fairly well. Very good tutorial; I completed it in SW2013. There is no 'face curve' command; I created a symmetrical double pointed solid between the arc slots, which allowed me to create a mid composite curve. The curve driven pattern was a little finicky, but I got it to work. Thank you for an amazing tutorial; I am a SW expert and my opinion is this would be fairly difficult for a novice. And I am using SW2013, so it would be easier probably with later versions.

[@learnsolidworks]

Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback! I am glad to hear you was able to model this om SW2013 as well! Check www.learnsolidworks.com for many more SOLIDWORKS tutorials :)

arriving now on the channel. Full of information. Beautiful work. Thank you very much for sharing. All the best to you always😉👉💚

Thanks, really appreciate it! :)

It seems that I get an error when trying to do the lofted-surface at 8:20, I'm using SW2022. It says error becasue it would produce self-intersecting geometry. Perhaps its becasue the very first sketch was blue (underdefined) instead of black?

[@learnsolidworks]

Hmm thats weird... Is the geometry intersecting somewhere as far as you can see? This might cause the problem

[@OmotayoAyodele-pw2zf]

@@learnsolidworks I heard the same issue... using 2021 solidworks. It's not intersecting anywhere

[@simonjz05]

You may have selected the wrong entities when defining the composite curves. This would cause the geometry to intersect.

[@ralucavescan]

I had the same issue, I think it really depends on where you click on the source composite paths: aftre 2 fails i did it exactly the way Jan did it and it worked, any other click sequence produced self-intersecting geometry, very strange

[@jayhanumaan1]

Bro, how much time did it take you to reach here, can I also reach this level?

[@learnsolidworks]

It took a lot of time. ;) But to save you years of trial and error I've created a free SolidWorks workshop. I want to invite you to attend one of the upcoming sessions right here : www.learnsolidworks.com/workshop

[@shreel6919]

hey I reached 10.51 min in the video but while combining it's showing an error and the curve partner is not been selected can you help to resolve

[@learnsolidworks]

Feel free to send your SW file to [e-mail] along with some screenshots of the problem so I can have a look :)
