Radiuses on "Y" manifold
Radiuses on "Y" manifold
(OP)
Ho Ho Ho And a Merry Merry Xmas, Gentle Men and Anna.I am having a problem applying radiuses at the intersection of the straight tube and the "Y". Both on the inside and outside.Any help?SWX0011

Not sure these changes would be acceptable.
Check the attached STEP file.

Takes about 10 minutes to do this. Works every time.
A-bomb of fillets.

RE: Radiuses on "Y" manifold
I would like to see the feature tree in your parts to see what you are actually doing to solve the OP issues. I suspect I could learn something.

RE: Radiuses on "Y" manifold
Are you running TOOLS/CHECK on the part? Do you have Verification on Rebuild turned on in TOOLS/OPTIONS/SYSTEM/PERFORMANCE? The previous version and this version had problems importing into SWX 2009. That last one looked like this:

RE: Radiuses on "Y" manifold
I got your step file to come in by turning off the BREP mapping in IMPORT options and then using IMPORT DIAGNOSTICS to fix the errors starting from the bottom. The only real problem was the filleting produced general faults so I couldn't see what you did for the fillets.

I didn't check the quality on import - I'll try some different settings when I get a chance.

more than one radius is radii, not radiuses.

RE: Radiuses on "Y" manifold
I wholeheartedly disagree. Given the actual SW files a user can step through the tree and see how the features were generated, change values to see the affect and understand exactly what is happening in geometry whose original structure is something they understand, after all, it is something they created initially. The FAQ you pointed to does basically the same thing, in essence combining the help files, and handful of tips, and the real world examples into a single location. Also, in reviewing the FAQ, it appears that several of the documents are out of date, referencing material as far back as SW 2005 or older. While we don't know what version OP is using, I was able to open it in SW2011 without an old version file warning. Things have change quite a bit since the original tutorials were written and learning from a model done in his currently version will only benefit the OP.

And if the OP was so inclined to post a dumb solid as a step file as I originally asked I might be more inclined to post an sldprt file.

RE: Radiuses on "Y" manifold
Forgive the delay, I have started working with the model but unfortunately was dragged on to other projects. I will post a solution for you as soon as I have time to button things up to my satisfaction. To at least give you an idea of the direction I am looking at though, based on your request, I would recommend looking at restructuring the guide curves that drive the lofts to get the fillet you are looking for. It's a bit of a pain at this point to completely rework the geometry, but not impossible. I will post the finished file when I am complete.
Kellnerp,
While you can't see principles in the feature tree it is possible to see and understand concepts by working with them. And posting a 2009 file would serve a reasonable purpose as the primary differences between 2009 and 2011 was the addition of a handful of features and UI changes. The same cannot be said for 2001, 2003, or 2005. I am all for interoperability, but the software isn't going to support it between versions any time soon, in part because changes from version to version don't track well when going backwards. New features added in versions simply don't have an analogous component in old versions. I'm sorry if you feel that I was stepping on your toes when I was simply trying to offer you a perspective on why OP was hoping for your SW file. Being bitter because somebody offers a different viewpoint doesn't help anybody.

RE: Radiuses on "Y" manifold
I am frustrated because I simply asked for a dumb solid so I could see what he was trying to do and have yet to get one exported from SWx. I am trying to help the guy, was the first one to jump on the problem and just can't seem to get any cooperation even from the OP in trying to help him.
If the OP can't put up a parasolid v19.1 or earlier maybe you could. I'll update the FAQ with it. Thank you.
I've done this type of geometry many times in my 15 years of using SWx. I keep up on current releases of SWx but choose to remain with 2009 for performance reasons.

RE: Radiuses on "Y" manifold
This model has serious lofting problems. I would address that in another thread. It will not round trip in IGES or STEP and would likely cause CFD, FEA or CAM problems.
The lofts from the nozzles to the neck would make a good user group presentation.

Start a new thread for that. This thread has too much extraneous jibber jabber. :)
A loft like that is not easy. Grown men have been made to cry.
