why cannot close corner

why cannot close corner

why cannot close corner

(OP)
Hi,
working with nx7.5 found a limitation in close corner -> attached avi,
Is offset in the flange not supported, and when, whats the reason?

sorry new in NX

RE: why cannot close corner

(OP)
Sorry upload doesn't work, to explain short:
create a regtangular tap, create a similar flange angle 90° no offset , create flange a second at the next edge of the same tap same direction and parameter like the first fange, only add a offset outside that a new edge at the first flange is created. Now try to close that corner - alarm: the selected bends do not form a corner for two bend corner, the bends must share a common face and the bend angles must be at 90° - reseleselct bends
In this created situation explained above the alarm is mess. What went wrong?

RE: why cannot close corner

Why are you including an Offset on the second flange? Are you expecting a different result when you 'close the corner' versus what you would have gotten without including an Offset on the second flange? Have you looked the 'Overlap' option when creating the 'Closed Corner'?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

thx John on reply,support,
:Why are you including an Offset on the second flange?
It is nice to use the snap to object option, especially when the tap is to small. Without offset on the second flange it looks fine.No overlap options is working.

RE: why cannot close corner

The 'Overlap' will ONLY work if the 'Closed Corner' can be created. I only mentioned it since it does offer a different final configuration which might be closer to what you were looking for.

thx John on reply,support,
the initial question, was why closed corner at offset flanges is not supported, not the overlap options, the alarm makes no sense for me.

RE: why cannot close corner

The 'Closed Corner' works FINE if the second flange had been created WITHOUT an 'offset'. So again, why do you insist on using an Offset when you know that it's incompatible with a Closed Corner? That is why I asked if you were expecting something DIFFERENT in terms of what the Closerd Corner result looked like when you don't include the Offset with the second flange. Have you actually created a Closed Corner to see what it looks like? How is that different than what you were expecting to get?

thx John, again,
not to annoy you, would be nice without this limitation.

RE: why cannot close corner

It's NOT a limitation. In order to have a Closed Corner the end of the bends MUST be adjoining (i.e. share an edge).

It is still not clear to me what it was that you're trying to do. Please explain exactly what you expected the Close Corner to look like. How is that different than what you get if you had NOT added an Offset to the second flange?
