NX 9 Part edges not aligned (Tried aligning facet edges)
NX 9 Part edges not aligned (Tried aligning facet edges)
(OP)
HI Everyone,
This is my first post and I am new to NX. I am try to extrude a surface on a part and eventually export it to fluent.
I have attached the file and images of the part before and after the extrude.
The issue I have is that the edges are not aligned after I extrude. To be specific, I select no Boolean operation on the extrude.
But when I do unite the extrude with the part, the faces are aligned. But I need the extrude to be a different solid for analysis purposes.
I have tried preferences>visualization>align facet edges/refinement..etc. It is still not working.
It shows two different edges on fluent just like on NX 9. And the distance between the edges is zero on both !!
I use a parasolid of the model for fluent.
Any help/advise is appreciated.
Cheer and thanks!!

By simply pulling the top face you will get what you need.

Thanks for the advise. I can see it works but it is still part of the cone. Can I anyway make it a separate solid/entity? I had the same issue with extrude. With unite boolean I have similar result.
I would like to have the cone as 1st and the extrusion as 2nd solid.
Thanks!!

I did try that before. It looks good as long as the rib and the cone are combined. As soon as I trim it, it becomes the same as before with the edges not aligned. This is pretty weird.
I have also tried revolving a thin surface over the original part. It just doesn't align.
Thanks

But if that is the case, I dont know why it changes when i make it a part (unite) of the main solid. It looks better with aligned edges. I trying to understand why it chooses to do so visually in either case. why no do it always in the same way irrespective of the boolean operation.
