Complex Swept/Through Curve Mesh
Complex Swept/Through Curve Mesh
(OP)
Hello everybody,
can any one help me to "cut" the part which I attached with the Swept/Trim and extend funtions. Every time when I'm performing the cut the system will notice that the tool and target do not form a complete intersection. After swept Operation I tried to enlarge the surfaces to sew them and afterwards to cut them with trim sheet. But I get the same error.
Can anyone suggest which funtion I shall be using to complete this cut operation.
Thanks in advance.

Could you please suggest how to create additional 3 mm blend radius(please see attached file).
Thank you in advance.

Is there any possibility to improve the Blend radius in the problematic area? Can it be adjusted in order to have a "flowing" edge bend? This kind of Edge Blend will not let me afterwards to Shell the part if I add additional feature to the part.
Thanks a lot.

I guess you need to refine the swept sheet first. There is a tangent discontinuity as shown in the image attached.
Once this issue is resolved it should be fine.

Thank you!

I ve got some trouble generating the surfaces that I uploaded here(see attachement). The surfaces are step file, I wanted to re-create them as NX Features(not extract face or synchronous modelling) and I get stuck by not knowing how to proceed.
First of all I tried to sweep, curve through mesh, etc. the section, but the result was not satisfactory at all, because the upper surface curvature is different from the one on the bottom. Especially the ending of the upper surface it's quite tricky.
Could you please suggest how I shall proceed in this particular case?
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you all.

You cant polish a turd and make it pretty. rebuild it cleanly or live with it.
