Smooth uniform blend between two surfaces with a step between them

[CJRT]

Hi Guys,
Firstly i would like to thank everyone who uses this forum as i have gained so much valuable knowledge from posts and i visit the forum myself every day.

Im having trouble blending two aerofoil faces smoothly and uniformly between two tolerance bands which has a step between them. The first face has been offset from an area of a blade aerofoil. The second face which represents another area of the aerofoil has been offset but this time by a smaller amount due to tolerancing. Where these two faces used to meet nominally there is now an obvious step between them due to the offset.
Is there a way i can get NX to uniformly and smoothly blend the two faces of the offset aerofoil?

Thanks

Without at least a picture of your model (having the model itself would be much better) there's not much that anyone could say about this.

Please see attached image.
Unfortunately due to export controls within my company i am unable to provice a model of any kind.

I think we'll need to see this from a few more viewpoints.

...uniformly and smoothly blend...

I think it really depends on what you mean by this. If this is a single solid body, you could just use 2 edge blends to get an "S" shaped transition. All surfaces would be tangent; but, I'm not sure you would consider that "uniform and smooth".

Do you want to eliminate the step and have a smooth transition? if so, Bridge curve, surface or one of those tools in studio design

Cowski and Robert are pointing you in the right direction with the information provided. You need to expand a bit more and let us know the continuity requirements if the above responses aren't what you're expecting.
