Filleting tips
Filleting tips
(OP)
Can anyone point me in the direction of resources with good filleting practices/techniques.
I'm trying to (variable radius) fillet various parts, and keep running into relimitation errors which I'm struggling to diagnose/correct.
Thanks,
J

You could try using a chordal fillet.
Or you could model the radii in the GSD workbench using sweeps and conics.

I've read the documentation, but still frequently come across errors while filleting, I was hoping there might be good practices that I've been missing!

The second fillet operation is going to get confused, it is trying to hold a size and tangency at the same time and your flat runs out.
Either a smaller fillet so you always have a small flat left, or a tri-tangent.
The tri-tangent will remove the flat completely.
See attached images.
One image has tri-tangent fillets, the other has variable fillets with reduced size (0.9>1.5>1.5>0.9)

Here is the image of smaller fillet.
