face blend problem

face blend problem

(OP)
can anyone tell me how to do this face blend?
i'm trying to do this but it says unable to attach blends!

RE: face blend problem

Without a part, it's going to be hard to help you out other than offering blind suggestions. I'm on NX9, so a Parasolid compatible with NX9 would be best for me to offer assistance if you're able to share your part or a version close to it with fewer details.

Can I ask why you're using a Face Blend instead of an Edge Blend?

RE: face blend problem

Worked fine for me in NX9 with a similar part, guessing on dimensions. I'd still use an Edge Blend if it were me. I don't see any advantage to using the Face Blend with these particular settings. One thing to note is that the option "Blend Width Method" I see for your Face Blend isn't present in NX9.

If you're looking for bugs with Face Blend, then I'd definitely report this unless you have a setting wrong.

RE: face blend problem

Ahhhh.....I'm thinking you haven't united your solids.

Some features in NX have built-in Booleans (Unite, Subtract, Intersect). Once you have the first solid created, Unite the others to it (for this part). Take a look at my Extrudes for an example. You can also change the Booleans later, if you wish.

RE: face blend problem

Your file consists of three separate solid bodies. Unite them together then use the "edge blend" command.

yes uniting the separate bodies solved the problem, I really really appreciate :)
