Hello everyone,
I’m using Salomé-Méca (GEOM module) and trying to fuse a cone with a curved geometry (a solid created by sweeping or revolving a curve).
The goal is to create a single, clean solid for later meshing in Code_Aster.
However, when I try to fuse the cone to the curved shape, I get one of two problems:
– Either the cone doesn’t fully touch the curved surface — there’s a small gap,
– Or it cuts into the curved solid, removing part of the geometry unexpectedly.
I’ve tried using Fuse, Partition, and also playing with tolerances, but I’m not getting a clean union.
My questions are:
– How can I precisely align and fuse a cone to a curved geometry without overlap or gaps?
– Should I prepare the faces in a specific way (e.g., trimming, extending, using projections)?
– How can I verify that the result is a single valid solid, not a compound or broken shape?
Any advice on workflow or best practices would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
