NX10 replacing one surface with a different one
NX10 replacing one surface with a different one
(OP)
i am trying to entirely replace one surface with a very similar one. its the hull of a yacht so lots of curvature in all directions.
I have tried the 'replace' command, corrected all the edges etc but it is coming up with the message saying "unable to replace features" but giving no clue as to the problem.
I have successfully used the replace command on simpler surfaces so i know it works.
Is there any other way of doing this or tips to help?
Thanks

For myself I like to see a good amount of excess surface in anticipation for future revisions.

If the edges of the removed surfaces and the new surfaces are not exact matches you will need to use the Trim and Extend feature to correct any gaps/over laps. You can use Examine Geometry and only examine for Sheet Boundaries to determine where the openings are in your part file. The openings are why a sewn sheet does not turn to solid.

thanks for the suggestions
RE: NX10 replacing one surface with a different one
- the shape of the "replaced" face is of less importance in this. The important thing is that NX can trim / extend the adjacent.
See the illustration on how NX in this very simple case extends/ trims all faces to adapt to the new shape.
Maybe this understanding can give a clue on what is the problem area on your model.
