Rolled Blend on Sharp Edge
Rolled Blend on Sharp Edge
(OP)
Is there a way to create the type of blend shown in the picture below without adding a small blend to the vertical edge?

What version of NX are you using? Perhaps I could you at least some sort of workaround.

It would be good to implement it in a future version of NX unless it's patented by Dassault.

If you find an option which you think is missing, or a function/ feature which could be enhanced.
You go :
http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/suppor...
then select either "Contact Support- Gtac operating hours and phone menu"
( or "Gtac Country Websites" for non-US users.)
OR
"Create or Update an IR"
When filing Enhancement Requests ( this will in Siemens vocabulary be an "ER") Remember to motivate why this feature/function is important and how much money you would save if it existed.
Siemens development must for each new release decide which new features / functions to spend their development budget on.
They have a very long list of possible enhancements, features requested by the users, features that competitors have, features needed because of future projects etc etc. All projects have a cost.
No features are today implemented just for fun, they must all be motivated.
Posting good ideas on forums like this, might not result in much more than a post on a forum.

Besides aesthetic reasons, whats the advantage to the radius on the corner?
RE: Rolled Blend on Sharp Edge
Simple answer.
It is not about aesthetics. It produces a better design.
RE: Rolled Blend on Sharp Edge
if I was machining that condition, I'd just remove all the radii and use an end mill with the proper radius. The actual product would have a round corner.
I would never call myself a machinist or even a cnc machinist though I have quite a bit of background, I always think about "how would I actually make this" when I model something.
That's why I assumed it was just for aesthetic reasons.
