nI read the paper you kindly provided. They used Beam elements and Shell elements. That means you need curves and surfaces. STOP MAKING SOLIDS!nYou have Sketch4, the Path. Don't sweep a profile. Export just Sketch4 as an IGES file. Import that into SpaceClaim. In SpaceClaim, define a Circular Beam Profile and edit the profile to assign the correct radius for the braid. This is one of the tricky aspects of using SpaceClaim. Watch a YouTube video on how to do that. Use that Beam Profile and create beams using the imported path curves.nSpaceClaim can create an edge at the intersection of two surfaces. Create a cylinder and plane surface, then use Project to create the edge curve you see in the image. Use the Select tool to select that edge, then Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to copy the edge and paste it as a Curve. If the export/import of Sketch4 fails for some reason, you can create the 3D curve from the surfaces in SpaceClaim.n
