NX7.5 - Calculating face radius value
NX7.5 - Calculating face radius value
(OP)
Hi,
I need to calculate the radius of the yellow faces from the attached bracket.
I have different options but it gave me different values.
Which method is the most accurate one?
What value have you got measuring these faces?
Thanks

RE: NX7.5 - Calculating face radius value
the smaller face i couldnt get any radius from the previous commands.
hope this helps. good luck

RE: NX7.5 - Calculating face radius value
Probably the 2 best tools to measure it are:
Analysis -> shape -> radius
or
Analysis -> Geometric properties (using a dynamic analysis you can drag your cursor over the face to see how the values change).

- First, I have measured all for corners of the original face with Local Radius (Analysis menu).
- Then, I have removed this face with Delete Face command.
- Now, I have created new Edge Blend with Radius=3,5mm
- And that was almost the exact same surface/blend, as the original one. The difference of the radius for all four corners was approx. 0,005mm. I belive, that this is close enough.
And here are my results from other tests:- large face, as it was already posted, has radius 28mm. It can be calculated with Analysis->Measure Distance->Change filter to Dsitance
- Smaller face: I just drawn an insert/curve/arc over all four edges on both sides. When selecting start/end point, I just moved the mid-point over the edge and see, what the Radius is. If you set the view to isometric, here are the results:
Now, here are some other measurements:left side radius varies from 3,53mm on the bottom to 3,84mm on the top. The biggest radii is at the top.
right side radius varies from 3,51mm on the bottom to 3,69mm on the top. The biggest radii is at the top.
lower edge radius varies from 29,47mm on the left side to 29,45mm on the right side. The biggest radii was around 29,49.
upper edge radius varies from 32,96mm on the left side to 32,95mm on the right side. The biggest radii was around 32,96.
Analysis->Minimum Radius...3,499mm
Analysis->Local Radius...click on the surface or points or edges and you will get the radii values
Analysis->Shape->Radius...you will get a color-scale for the whole surface
