Trajpar (trajectory parameter) is a variable section sweep technique used in Creo/Pro-ENGINEER to create geometry that changes shape smoothly along a path — tapering, blending, or transitioning a cross-section as it travels from one end of a feature to another. It's the modeling approach behind complex, organic, or continuously-varying shapes that a standard extrude, revolve, or fixed-section sweep simply can't produce.
We use Trajpar-driven variable section sweeps for parts where the cross-section needs to change predictably along its length — handle grips that taper and twist, ducting that transitions between different profile shapes, blended transitions between two different feature geometries, and other forms where a smooth, mathematically controlled shape change is the design requirement itself.
Ergonomic product shapes — grips, handles, and housings that taper or curve to fit the hand or body
Ducting and flow-path components transitioning between different cross-sectional shapes
Blended transitions between two dissimilar features on the same part
Complex surfacing work where a relationship-driven, parametric shape change is more reliable than manual surface manipulation
Relation-driven variable section sweep geometry built in Creo/Pro-ENGINEER
Parametric control, so the shape updates correctly if trajectory or reference dimensions change
Smooth, manufacturable surface quality suited for downstream machining, molding, or 3D printing
