Stent Design-bend pipe

[Sesan]

Hi..

I am a newbie to Pro/E.. I have been using Autodesk Inventor and due to some problem with it.. i have switched to Pro/E.. I would be pleased to know if anyone could help in designing a stent on a bend pipe..

I am here with attaching a pic of it..


Thanks in advance..

I'll admit that it is probably better done using the toroidal bend function but this quick and dirty model was done using sheetmetal to unbend, create the patterned helical cut and then bent back.
