NX7.5 Modeling
NX7.5 Modeling
(OP)
Hi,
Plase, have a look at the attached NX model.
How could I create:
1 - The profile of the green faces? (Helix/Tube?.... Doesn't work, not deep enough!)
2 - The profile of the yellow faces? (Covert to Sheet Metal/Normal Cut....? Yellow faces must be perpendicular on the faces they lie on)

RE: NX7.5 Modeling
For the yellow faces, copy the outer circular face (extract face, with delete hole option) and extract the edges of the existing hole; trim the face to the extracted curves and thicken the resulting sheet. The thicken command will create faces perpendicular to the extracted face.

Thanks for your replay.
Sweep using Helix would create a profile perpendicular on the Helix curve on it's entire guide but angled on the face of the Cylinder (I tryed that, first).
The profile for Subtraction should be fully paralel to the face of the Cylinder........
RE: NX7.5 Modeling
Not necessarily, it depends on the creation options you use. I'd use the vector direction orientation option and choose the vector of the cylinder.

Another Star for you and for the people that reply to my thread!
How about my first question "(1 - The profile of the green faces)"?...........

RE: NX7.5 Modeling
Green faces mark the feature that I need to create........
I made those faces in green for better references.
I probably need a Subtraction, but I do not know what Tool should I use for accurate design (The part I attached to my Thread is a Body feature, it is not parameterized.
I need to create a parameterized part!
RE: NX7.5 Modeling
The cross section of my model is not identical to the supplied model, this might be because i have done erratic assumptions, but it might also be because the designer of the imported model made mistakes (!)
