NX7.5 - Smooth (tangent) transition between two cylinders
NX7.5 - Smooth (tangent) transition between two cylinders
(OP)
Hi,
I need to creat a transition between two cylinders (yellow and green) with different diameters, for a Filler pipe design.
How could I do it, in order to have this new solid tangent to both cylinders?
Thanks

That being said, the second approach requires less pre-construction (no centerline curve needed) and since the end constraints are part of the definition you know it will be a smooth transition whereas with the first approach if the centerline curve does not make a smooth transition neither will the Swept body.
