Hi all,
I'm attempting to draw a stent in solidworks and need some equation help. I've started by drawing a sine wave, but now need to draw another on top that is 0.125 mm away from the first one (as there needs to be a constant thickness of 0.125 mm). Unfortunately, this means I can't just put +.125 at the end of the eqn, as while the y axis will always be that distance apart, the perpendicular distance between the two lines will be changing.
My starting equation is: y= 1.5*sin((2*pi/25.14*6)*x-(pi/2))
So far, the only way I can make anything close to what I need is to add: +0.2cos^2((2*pi/25.14*6)*x-(pi/2))+1.625 to the previous equation for the second line. (but this really isn't satisfactory)
If anyone could suggest a better way I can be doing this, I would be very grateful!
