Spline from data points

[arudis3]

How do I create a spline from a known set of points?


I work on suspension coils. I get an excel file from my Engineer that contains x,y, z's. There are many points (170+). I convert that excel file to a .dat file. I know in UG you can create a spline through points from a .dat file.


I need to know how to generate a spline quickly in V5 from a .dat file or some other format. Please help me.


Thank you for your time.

1.if your point are ordered then select first point
press shift key (keep it pressed) select last point then
press spline button.
2. If in the geometrical set you have only the ordered
points then select geometrical set and press spline
command.
