hi..


i have a part which has a variable thickness. Is it possible to give a surface model a variable thickness?

 

[Moroso]

A surface model has no thickness

 

[sanjeevkar1]

try using var sec sweep or blend which so ever suits your need

 

[mechanical01]

it is a set of surfaces.....i cant just use var. sec sweep

You need to post a image of your model, we cannot just discuss about it in thin air.


as a picture describes 100 words.

use sec sweep

You will need to have inner and outer surfaces and if you can "sew it all up" to make a closed volume you can solidify it.

Hey I Feel Surface has'nt got any thickness. C the Surface definition. Pls feel free to reply.

if u can post the model, might be i can help

I think dr gallups way might work! not tried it yet though,is your model a single surface or sets of?


Cheers

Hello paulcunningham3,


my model is a set of surfaces.....i have already completed the model by offsetting the surfaces..but it took a lot of time........now i want to develop a faster method.


what is dr gallups way ?

Use Insert>Shared Data>Copy Geometry from Other model...


Good cluck!

 

[sridhar_mothe]

If it is a solid model


Try using shell option.....this will allow u to define various thickness to various surfaces

Not if you're planning to usea "thin" feature from your surface..

In mechanica you can give multiple thicknesses to a surface r thin feature but not variable thickness.
