Create solid from sections

Create solid from sections

RE: Create solid from sections

Matthias,

If the sections are symmetrical, you could try revolved protrusions using the sections. Another option might be to sweep the curves along other curves and do some cuts to arrive at the final shape. This also may be a case where surface modeling might be the best approach.

Hi Kjoiner,

The sections are symmetrical, but not equal to eachother. A sweep doensn't work if the path is not cylindrical?
I'm still not able to do this.
I have no experience with surface modeling.

RE: Create solid from sections

Hi Matthias,

This may be a case where surface modeling is required. I'm not an expert at surface modeling, however, but you might try also posting this question on the Siemens Solid Edge forum. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Engineering Tips forum - I visit it every day, but the Siemens site has a lot more traffic since it's focused on Solid Edge.

Hi Matthias

I made this video to help you with your project (sorry, no narration).

Hope it will help you. Do not hesitate if you have any questions.

Hi 2JL,

Wonderfull! Great video!
I've learned a lot with this.

Thank you!

Matthias

RE: Create solid from sections

Hi Matthias,

You're welcome! Actually I went for surface modeling because it was what suggested by Kyle but after reviewing the video, I realized the answer to your question was in fact yes. You can do it directly using the loft tool.
