Checked in Pro/E, SW, Maya, so:

1. Step 1:

   1. draw two curves
   1st
   x = 4*cos(t*360*c)
   y = t*len
   z=0
   2nd
   x = 4*cos(t*360*c)
   y = 0
   z = t*len

   ! in Maya you need iteration method:
   curve -p 0 0 0 -n "sin1";
   float $x, $y, $l=200, $pi=3.1415927;
   int $i=0;
   for ($i=0; $i < $l; $i++)
   {
   $x=3*$i*$pi/$l;
   $y=sin ($x);
   curve -p ($x) ($y) 0 -a "sin1";
   };

   ...and copy them to complete polygone
   

   

2. Step 2:

   2. make boundary surface
   

   

3. Step 3:

   3. ...and thicken it
   

   

4. Step 4:

   4. cut corners
   

   

5. Step 5:

   5. round border
