Fillet in GSD

Fillet in GSD

Fillet in GSD

(OP)
Hello all,

I've been a member of this site for a little while and have found it pretty informative so first off I wanted to thank you all for your input and helping before in the past!  I do appreciate it.

Ok on to my question, I thought it would be pretty straight forward but I guess not.  

Why isn't it possible to make a fillet when the edge you are trying to fillet eventually becomes tangent?

It seems to me Catia should just fillet the part of the edge that is not tangent and just leave the other side of it alone.  It is driving me nuts!  Can anyone offer me any help or any idea how I can get around this or any steps I can take that will make the manual process of creating them easier?  BTW I'm primarily working in GSD.  I feel like I may be not doing something correctly or there may be a better way for me to do it and figured I'd stop by and ask the experts...
Thanks for your help!

DReno,
   Could you take the 4 surfaces, paste them in a new file and upload.

RE: Fillet in GSD

Use a shape fillet between Extrude.1 and Multi-sections Surface.1
Catia will issue a warning stating

Ribbon has stopped because surfaces become tangent. This tangency had not been detected first.
Avoid this tangency.

The Edge Fillet command does not know where to stop at.


Regards,
Derek

Remove the last join and make a face to face fillet between Extrude.1 and Nulti-section Surface.1. You will get a ribbon warnings about surfaces going tangent, and maybe a non-smooth edge on the tangent area, add a join to the final fillet to get rid of the non-smooth edge

Sorry Derek, didn't update my session before posting

Happens to me too at times but DReno has the answer.
