Section Curve (Smart Curves)
Section Curve (Smart Curves)
(OP)
Hello All,
For Example, i have a sweep feature with circle as a section curve and the spline as the guide curve.
so if i cut the section (using intersect or section command ) normal to the guide... the section curve which i get is spline not a smart curve(like arc or circle).here as i m working in sealing systems , we always prefer the section with smart curves not the with splines.
but when i cut in catia V5 i will get the circle or arcs, for the same model.
It is important for me to have section with Smart curves for all general information as in catia V5.
Can anybody please answer me.
I am using NX8
Thx

RE: Section Curve (Smart Curves)
From NX Documentation,it says
•Analytic section curves (lines, arcs or conics) are created if the face is planar, analytic, or a bounded plane.

RE: Section Curve (Smart Curves)
Instead of using spline as guide curve,use 'simplify curve' then create the swept using lines/arcs.
Create section curve using 'planes perpendicular to curve' method. (Here you can use 'join curve' to get the single spline curve from Lines / Arcs).
