surface generation from multiple cross sectional data

surface generation from multiple cross sectional data

surface generation from multiple cross sectional data

(OP)
Does Solidworks have a surface generation tool (or function)?
I have a series of cross sectional geometries, they are not from the same interval (randomly extracted from one object),
their shapes(cross sections) are not same but similar.

I'd like to generate smooth surface based on those cross sections that I have, and then export surface geometry again,
(so that I can get more cross-sectional data in between that I have)
Is it possible?

I am beginner,
If it is possible would you let me know how to?

RE: surface generation from multiple cross sectional data

Lots of ways to do this in SW. No single way is perfect for every situation.

RE: surface generation from multiple cross sectional data

Check out the tutorials that are in the software (Help->Tutorials). There are also videos on YouTube that you can watch and learn.
