sufaces
(OP)
Hi again, battling with surfaces again!
I’m trying to model a compressor wheel for a turbo, this wheel has a splitter blade, the previous turbine wheel worked out fine but this one is not going quite so well. The original geometry is sent to me as an iges, which normally ends up being a lofted surface and some 3d sketches. This compressor has 2 surfaces, I loft them together and then knit but I cant them thicken to create a solid.
Boy I wish I wasn’t the only cad guy in this company!
Any advise. many thanks

RE: sufaces
Also IGES or parasolid it out and bring it back in, then you can can a Diagnose to find more problems with the file.

RE: sufaces
Save your part as and IGES or Parasolid file and open it back into SW (Trying to create a solid (See Options on open menu)) Then you can RMB the body or surface in the FM and do a Diagnose
FYI - RMB means (Right Mouse Button)

RE: sufaces
You can check minimum face curvature under "Tools --> Check".

RE: sufaces
Do I have to convert them to use or can I just treat them as a solid part?
I have revolved a hub but I cant fillet the blade edge or circular pattern the blades?
Thanks
RE: sufaces
If the bodies are joined in anyway you could try combining them into one solid, but if they are not touching you will not be able to merge the 2 bodies.
You can't add a fillet to 2 separate bodies. You will have to make one solid to add a fillet to each body.
