This picture is modeled with SolidWorks2019 and rendered with KeyShot 9.0 (the two pictures above).

Modeling process

1. Draw two hexagons on the plane above.

2. Connect the end points of the two hexagons with splines.

2-1. Mark the spline curve, the handle of the curve is perpendicular to the center line.

3. Still sketch on the upper plane, convert the entity reference, as long as the sketch in the lower left corner.

4. Draw a spline curve on the right-view datum plane.

12. Boundary surface, direction one: the points of the 3D sketch, the edges of the blue surface.

12-1. Direction two: the edge of the purple surface and the spline in the middle. (Note to add tangent) (Uncheck merge cut)

13. Create a new reference axis. (If the merge section is checked in the previous step, it will be as shown in the figure, with no border in the middle)
