Surface continuity (Tangent)
Surface continuity (Tangent)
(OP)
Hi,
It’s any possibility to see if the surfaces are tangent? Some visualization mode or something
else?
I know it’s in Anallysis / Shape / Surface continuity but I need to see after I created a lot of
surfaces if are tangent or not, could be sewed or not (in Catia V5 we have this in
visualization mode options) .
Thank you to all.
Regards.

As I recall in NX3 the command is located slightly differently but I'm sure you will find it.
Good luck.

Analysis>Deviation>Adjacent edges
Pick the 2 surfaces which share the edge you need to check the tangency on and then hit ok.
You will get an info bow with the max angle deviation. If this is higher than 0.5 degrees then it's definately not tangent (this is the default tolerance ug uses for tangencies). The lower the deviation the better. You can also use the report tools to show you the max deviations on screen.
Hope that helps.

I mean if I construct some surfaces to view if are or not tangent, I don’t want to check each surface with the neighbor because maybe I have more then twenty inside in one sew.
For example in Catia V5 the edges are gray if the surfaces (which are inside) from a Join (Sew) are tangent, if not they are black and it’s very easy to find and correct those faces, maybe UG have something similar …?
Thank you,

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

That it’s closer that I need,
It will be more than perfect if these smooth edges it’s visible somehow in shading mode not just in wireframe mode.
Best Regards
