I'm looking for a way to distort or scale a spare part according to the curve

BLACKWARDSWHITE

Hello everyone! It became necessary to bend a complex system of tunnels in order to slightly increase the strength due to curved walls. The curvature should occur in the x y directions of the upper plane, relative to the center point. I couldn't find a script that allows you to scale a part according to a curve or surface. It is necessary to "distort" the part in accordance with the curve of the super ellipse. In which direction should I think? Thanks! https://cad.onshape.com/documents/03ebd0562bcd3f86dcef9c41/w/b5095201863b571d50db094e/e/388ae50cf114dae87bbed81e?renderMode=0&uiState=65db4092b31be854f6879ad2

Modify your sketch1 to have the profile you want?

Thank you for your reply! I have tried to think in this direction, but to no avail. I made several super ellipses with similar offsets in sketch1, but in this case the cross-sectional area of the tunnels does not remain the same throughout the length of the tunnels due to the peculiarities of the curve. Shifting the curve does not help either, it gives an error when shifting over long distances.

I see... I can't think of a "simple" way to do this unfortunately... I haven't looked in detail but in this case I think you would have to "rebuild" your tunnels in a different way to have the curve "built-in" from the start.
One option I can think off might be to create just a surface representing the centerline of the path and then use a "thicken" at the end.

The idea is interesting, but this method is similar to the first one in its complexity. Given the frequent geometry changes, this option is not suitable for adjusting the tunnel parameters.
