Surface Issue
Surface Issue
(OP)
Hello everybody,
I'm modeling a cam in NX 7.5. I just finished it and I attached a picture of it so you can understand what I'm trying to do.
If you notice in the middle surface, there are a lot of "cuts", thats why I did it by subtracting different solid bodys during it's rotation and interference with the body it will actually actuate.
What I want to do, and can't find how, is how to transform all those "cuts" into one surface.
I was also thinking an easier way to design that cam profile, which is a bit different from the usual. I want to know if it is possible to do the following and how. I have an expression that defines every point of the cam profile, how can I use this expression to automaticaly draw, maybe spline points or something, and then just extrude.
Thanks for the help.

RE: Surface Issue
To work with what you currently have, extract some points off of your surface (use the minimum required to get the shape you want) and use those to generate a spline (spline through points). You can then replace the original cuts with one created by the spline.

Insert -> Trim -> Join face (on same surface) . . .
To see if that helps anything.
It's hard to tell from the pic if it will.
