surface tangent or curvature to another surface in UGNX8
surface tangent or curvature to another surface in UGNX8
(OP)
hello all
I am working on complex surfaces i need to create a surface tangent or curvature or angle to another curved surface in UGNX8 Is there any option like in catia V5(sweep- with reference surface where in we can change the surface angles).please share the idea
I am using NX8
Thanks,
BGD

Have you tried Ribbon Builder (Surface/Ribbon Builder)?

Per the ( very short) description, try Law Extension.

Dear Kapil, :: i tried Ribbon Builder (Surface/Ribbon Builder) will not work... i think not possible.it is really a basic requirement to play with surfaces .but i dont know why it is not included in UG NX.
Please help if u know
Thx BGD

There are more ways to create the tangential extension than the law extension.
Reply back if you have further needs that this doesn't fulfill.

You said there are also other methods to create the tangential surfaces ..Please tell me what are those options ??
Thx BGD

Also can you please help with the display problem??. just as a example i just placed the cursor over the body(1). in your Law_extension.prt. so i found the display as attached. please note that this display problem is not with your part.i am facing this with all other parts which i open in my UGNX8.just i said your part as an example.
Thanks

Sorry but i should have asked you what are you trying to achieve.Ribbon builder helps you create a surface originating from a curve/edge at an angle to Other surface (not the one on which the curve /edge is).

I created a "four point surface" ( which is non parametric = "body") then used X-form to give it some shape. This four point surface was also in this case flat. If you go Preferences - Selection - and turn off : Highlight Original NX will not highlight the original shape. ( suppress everything but body(1) and you should see the same shape.)
Some other options to create similar result ( there probably are a few other not mentioned):
*Extension surface ( only a single edge per feature)
* maybe also the Silhouette Flange ( will place a blend between the extension and original edge)
* Enlarge surface ( Will instead enlarge the original surface or a copy and only the non-trimmed surface)

I think Toost hit the best ones to start with, but I'll add:
