Swept

In SolidWorks, the Sweep feature is used to create a 3D shape by moving a 2D sketch along a path. The swept shape can be created using a variety of cross-sectional shapes, including circles, rectangles, and splines. The Sweep feature is commonly used to create features such as pipes, wires, and cables.

To create a Sweep feature in SolidWorks, you must first create a 2D sketch that represents the shape you want to sweep. Next, you must define a path along which the sketch will be swept. This path can be created using a sketch, a 3D curve, or an edge of an existing feature.

Advantage

The Sweep feature has several advantages in SolidWorks. One advantage is that it allows you to create complex shapes with a single command. By using the Sweep feature, you can create shapes that would be difficult or time-consuming to create using other methods.
Another advantage of the Sweep feature is that it allows you to create shapes that are difficult or impossible to create using other features. For example, the Sweep feature can be used to create shapes that have variable cross-sections along the path, such as tapered pipes or wires.
The Sweep feature also allows you to create swept cuts or swept bosses. This means that you can use the Sweep feature to remove material from a solid model or to add material to a solid model.
