Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Top plane >> Sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw a polygon circumscribed in a circle of 100mm dia.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Exit the sketch. Reference geometry >> Plane.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Offset the top plane by 80mm.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Plane1 >> Sketch.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Draw a circle of 50mm diameter.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Exit the sketch. Select lofted surface tool under surfaces tab.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Select both sketches as profiles and adjust the connector so as to perform a twist.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Filled surface.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Select all edges and click OK.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Front plane >> Sketch.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Draw a spline.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Trim surface tool under surfaces tab.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Trim the surface using spline as the trimming tool.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Thicken the surface with inside direction.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Thicken the filled surface inside direction.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Perform a cut on the top surface. And we have the part generated.
