Cannot Fillet Properly
Cannot Fillet Properly
(OP)
Dear Folks;
I am preparing a pump impeller model with vanes which follow an involute curve and the impeller body which is a revolved solid. I tried to fillet the area where the vanes meet the body but SW2001 cannot do it. I tried a face fillet but that also was unsuccesful.
Can anyone give me some pointers about filleting objects that come together at weird and wonderful angles.
Regards
Adrian

RE: Cannot Fillet Properly
One question: pump impellers, involutes, ... sounds like complex geometry - did you try to use surfaces? I think that for this cases, working with surfaces leads to better modeling results.
