    Sewing Solids

    Thanks for the hint looslib. That works on about half of the surfaces I have. On the other half, I get error messages reading "Non-Manifold Solid" or "Internal error: Memory access violation" or Unigraphics closes on it's own. Any ideas? -Shan

    Is there a way to sew two solids together other than Insert->Feature Operation->Sew which tells me that I "cannot sew solids into a sheet"? I started with serveral sheets, applied a thickness to them and now I want to make sure they are one solid. I can't sew them first because the...

    Surface Offset Difficulty

    Me again ... I understand now that the offset value has to be less than the minimum radius which occurs on the surface. Can this be worked around though? I would like all the surfaces to be offset by the same amount and the minimum radius from all the surfaces is 0.003 inches. Preferably, I'd...

    Surface Offset Difficulty

    I ran the Examine Geometry on the whole body and it returned a message reading "self-intersecting geometry detected" and highlighted the surfaces which I have been having problems offsetting. So that tells me that these surfaces need to be fixed. This particular body can be imported...

    Surface Offset Difficulty

    Hello ... I am a new user of Unigraphics V18 and I am trying to offset a non-planar surface which has been successful in other areas, but for a few surfaces I receive the error message "Highlighted Faces Failed To Offset." Could someone explain to me what is preventing the surface...
