Draw a vertical center line through the coordinate system using

Use line tool to draw the horizontal line as shown below

Note that the horizontal line is symmetry with respect to the centerline

If necessary, click on and set the Symmetry constraint by selecting Pick first end point of the line, pick the centerline, and then select second end point

of line

Pick this edge

as reference

The resulted line is shown below Be sure to dimension the line accordingly

Sketch the conic arc using Conic tool

Dimension the arc as shown below

Draw this centerline for symmetry

Click to finish the first datum curve

Next create the second conical datum curve at the bottom of the part This datum curve is located at TOP datum plane

Pick a Sketch Tool icon

Pick the TOP datum plane as the sketching plane, and select RIGHT datum plane as

Reference, then choose Right in the Orientation box

Repeat the same procedure and draw the following section

Click to finish the first datum curve

Cerate two datum points at the intersection between

Select Datum Point tool

Pick the conic arc, and while pressing down Ctrl key, pick the RIGHT datum plane

To create another Datum Point, click on

New Point

Pick the conic arc located at the bottom, and while pressing down Ctrl key, pick the

RIGHT datum plane

The next datum point PNT1 is created at the intersection

Click OK

Two datum points are created

Next create another curve that will be used as trajectory for the sweep The datum curve is an arc connecting PNT1 and PNT0

Pick a Sketch Tool icon

Pick the RIGHT datum plane as the sketching plane, and select TOP datum plane as

Reference, and then choose Top in the Orientation box

Select arc tool and create a new arc as shown below Note that the arc passes through both datum points, and it center is located on the reference line

representing side view of RIGHT datum plane

The center of the arc is located at this reference (side view of RIGHT datum plane)

From Insert pull-down menu, select Swept Blend…

Select Create a Solid option Then choose tab

Select the arc datum curve connecting both datum points as trajectory

Next click on Sections tab
