Filling in Holes

Filling in Holes

Filling in Holes

(OP)
We have an imported geometry of a fan blade with mounting holes in the center. We now want to fill the holes and creat a new hole pattern. How can we fill in the existing holes? We tried a sketch of a circle extruded the thickness of the part, but the holes still show up. Is there a unite type of command that will take two bodies and make them seem like one?

We are using Wildfire.

In 2001 you could redefine imported geometry and be able to delete the cylindrical surfaces of the hole and then delete the boundries of the holes on the surfaces.
We do not have wildfire yet so I do not know if this is possible in wildfire.

RE: Filling in Holes

You might be able to do a surface merge operation to merge the surfaces of the ends of your hole filling protrusions which should be possible to create using upto surf depth option.

Then Join the surfaces into one boundary surface and create a solid using Quilt Surf.

I think there is also an advanced assembly command similar to a Boolean union or merge that can be done.

RE: Filling in Holes

This can be easily done in 2001 using ther "Pro/E Import Data Doctor" package. I don't know about Wildfire because I don't use it, but I suppose that would be similar.
