Edge Blend or Face Blend challange
Edge Blend or Face Blend challange
(OP)
In the file linked below, I have a simple edge blend on one corner (10). The result I want is on the other corner that I created by revolving the intersection curve and then trimming (17). Is there an easier way to do this with a face blend or something? The next challange then is on the remaining two corners where the side itself has an arc to it. NX 5.0.2.2





RE: Edge Blend or Face Blend challange
Now if this is something that you plan to do a lot of, it may be worthwhile looking into getting some NX Open program written that could create the desired shapes and assure that your toplogical criteria is met, but barring that, I know of know built-in function that could do this straight out.
Now before leaving this altogether, there are some very sophisticated 'blending' tools which are part of what we call the studio package which I personally don't have a lot of experience with and there you have more direct control over the shape of the faces and how that transition from one face to another. But I'll have to leave that to a studio expert.
