help needed creating surface

[minicorrado]

I have a part i'm re-modelingin pro e 2001, the part was created in solidworks.i don't know how to recreate one of the surfaces..it was created in solidworks by a face removal command...where by it just joins the surfaces either side of the face that was removed...the pdf shows the surface i am trying to create.2005-04-06_125548_grille.zip

You might stand a better chance of getting some help if you'll post a model. I couldn't really tell much from looking at the pdf.

 

[james.lynch]

have you got any of the crossections?, do you know what defines that curvature?

 

[minicorrado]

no i don't the curvature was created by the "remove face feature" in solidworks

 

[minicorrado]

here is a zip file of what i have so far i'm tring to do half the grill then i'll mirror it.


as you can see i'm having trouble where the parabolic surface meets the surface i created..the design call for the parabolic feature to be visable..but not a hard edge...any ideas?

unfortunately I dont know what the remove face feature in SW is..


2005-04-07_161834_3374a103_style_test.prt.zip


there is no tangency at the moment, but very easy to put in...


I used ISDX to create the surface.

[james.lynch]

or maybe this one?


2005-04-07_165719_3374a103_style_test2.prt.zip


again not full tangency.. but I dont really understand what yo uare looking for!

James

 

[minicorrado]

that looks very close to what i am after

how do i do that?


i'm using 2001


thanks


Matt

 

[minicorrado]

James


can't open the file you zipped

what version are you using


no tangency with the other surfaces


thanks


Matt

 

[james.lynch]

I used the interactive surfacing design extension, ISDX. yo ucould use pro surface also..


I'm using wildfire 2.0 unfortunately..


here is a .neu file 2001 shoud open it but it didn't convert too well and it is a dumb model


sorry,

[minicorrado]

thanks james

on the right track...i was able to open it...close to what i want...but i don't want


the tangency...how do i do it in 2001?..i have the surface module


thanks again.....matt

 

[minicorrado]

this is exactly what i want to recreate without referencing the import feature. i want to be able to manipulate the the grill for other applications,thats why i can't just use the the dumb model.


thx


Matt

[james.lynch]

build you curves and since you have style (isdx), create your surfces in that, I would probably do the chamfers after the model was built..


have you got the solid works model?

 

[minicorrado]

i do but it's in 2005 and the version i have is too old


here it is


thx


2005-04-07_175158_Grille.zip


do i have isdx???

 

[james.lynch]

havent got Sw 2005, only 2004


you can see if you have isdx (otherwise known as style) by simply clicking on help/technical support info,


a window then appears, scrool down to "Configured Option Modules"and this shows you what modules you have installed..


if you have ISDX you should see Interactive_Surface_Design

 

[minicorrado]

Thanks James i'll check on monday


cheers and have a great weekend?


Matt

Hi minicorrado


why u making so hassles??? just go to boundry surface and make like this


Actually in wild fire 2 its extremely easy to create boundry surface even extreme complex but this could be created easily in 2001. Why you make it half and again mirror it???

is there a way to flatten out the surface where the 2 curves that define the suface meet?


there is a raised peak origionating from the intersection of the two curves, i'd like to smooth it out


thx


Matt


p.s.


thanks Zaki, i tried your method aswell it is close to what im looking for, but daves method is closer,thanks again
