I come to ask for help following a "geometry error" on Solidworks 2013
The objective is to create a smoothing to have two bodies joining together in a single surface. I've already tried to make it in a single sketch for the upper part, to divide it in half for the lower part but nothing helps. Similarly using Symmetry.
I guess the problem is due to the crossing of the two smooths to be made on the same arivée sketch. But I have no choice but to make these shapes. An image that probably speaks more than all this text, here it is:
Thanks in advance to those who will help me on this problem, even if I understand that it must be simple for some.
No, it doesn't work by creating a second sketch identical to the first one (Intersecting Geometry), nor by using the Symmetry functions whether in Volume or Surface.
I would prefer to stay in Volume to use the extrusion functions for the rest of the modeling.
I am not sure I understand correctly; I should cut my smoothing on the top plane (if the crossing is done at this point but let's assume) and resume a new smoothing until the end sketch?
The problem is that I need the junction between the two rectangles of the upper part (in fact what I would like is for the common line of the two sketches linked to the rectangles to be joined and then turn into an arc for the end condition, preferably in volume to continue extruding my part afterwards).
I understand that you want to do it in volume to use the extrussion functions later... But why not do it in surface first and then use the "fill" function to go back to volume?
You could thus cross surfaces, erase those you don't like and have a beautiful room:)
#gt22 : I have just tested your method, but without success; I cut in half via the front plane to remove the material on the left part, then I wanted to do a smoothing (photo attached). I always get a geometry that intersects
Did I proceed incorrectly according to your answer?
#coin37coin, I'm going to test your method and I'll get back to you to see if it's good
So, I just did both answers, and both work, thank you so much for that.
However, I find that the results are not "clean" for both. That is to say that for the coin37coin method, my smoothing does not follow the curve correctly. While for gt22, I have a "crooked" shape
I think you have to put control points on the curve or something like that, so that it's round.
I am sending you the two coins, the first corresponds to the coin37coin method (V1), the second to gt22 (V2). It will be more explicit like this, I hope that your respective versions of Solidworks will allow you to open them.
@Fulgrim: It's dead for me, your version is too recent. But indeed, it's the problem of straightening I think, it has a little tendency to live your life and do as you please. You have to constrain her as much as possible.
What do you call a "crooked shape" on the function of @GT22?
By the way, for your information, if you attach the files by "browse" (just below the box for writing writing), it allows you to attach a file and therefore to each one to open it independently. And therefore to have it at the desired size and not like the thumbnail of the text ;-)
Be careful with your sketches, which have a direct influence on the quality of the resulting surfaces.
For example, on your sketch 2, you make 2x2arcs of a circle which therefore creates a junction point and therefore an edge on the surfaces.
Redo 2x1 single arc on this sketch 2 and you'll already have a better result.
Then separate your guide curve in two to drive the left side and then the right side, you will thus control your tangency between the two surfaces much better in relation to symmetries.
The two arcs of circles are unfortunately imposed for my work, I cannot modify the dimensions because of the non-conformity of the product afterwards.
Your reasoning is right on the guide curves, but I already have 2 on respective planes to follow the offset from the upper sketches to the lower sketch .
However, they are not shown in the photos attached here.
At the time, I didn't quite understand your comment.
Indeed the two arcs are useless, I had created it to divide my sketch into two parts (an equivalent of the gt22 method with the removal of material directly in the sketch).
