I have come to ask for your help regarding a surface subject.
My question is very simple, does the Solidworks 2022 surface module allow you to make this kind of shape (see attachment)?
In PJ, a photo of a sketch with a top view of a 75mx75m silage platform with a slope of 1% (simple ) This platform has 5 lockers of 15m each. The second view represents a 15m locker with a double slope of 2% (also single).
The most complicated part? How to manage the connection between the 1% slope and the double % slope at both ends of the platform?
Having already worked on Catia in Aero, I know it's possible, but with the Solidworks surface module, I'm less confident.
Thank you for your feedback. Well, let's say that it's not a basic sheet metal part but an asphalt platform. But above all, I don't think that the sheet metal module knows how to model the junction between the double slope of 2% and the level 0 at both ends
I hope my explanations are clear. Let me know if ever.
If I understand the subject correctly, you want to make a double slope of 2% on a pitch that follows a 1% slope.
In volume it is quite possible. I modeled your locker, then carried out a material removal with a slope of 1% along the length from the median plane. Then, I carried out a material removal with a slope of 2% following the edge formed from the previous function. Then a symmetry to make the same slope on the other side.
We are on the right track with these different understandings. That said, the one of @stefbeno seems to me to be the correct interpretation given the chute on the external edges. The fluid goes into the chute in a distributed manner over the entire double slope, which means that the fluid has less chance of overflowing.
@ac_cobra_427 , that's in the idea, what you did on the one hand but brought back to my dimensions (75mx15m), the result is not what expected... normal you are missing a piece of data (my fault ) Let me explain, compared to capture 10 below the length of the connection should be 15m and not the entire length compared to what you did below: (capture 11)
My suggestion, take what @ac_cobra_427 did on a length of 15m, do the double slope as @Charley in surface still on 50m and finally do the remaining 15m and combine everything.
Looking forward to your opinions. Thank you again, you manage seriously!
Surprising how the same specification can give several different interpretations... Is the image below correct? With steep slopes, which are easy to modify since they are defined in the Equations module.
Exactly the same remark, it's very interesting indeed. Yes, your model matches the demand with accented dimensions. I also managed to make a surface model that I share with you in PC Dough 75x15m. SLDPRT (99.4 KB)
After a few hours of reflection and testing, I finally managed to achieve the desired result. Especially thanks to your feedback, I was inspired by several of your suggestions to make the model in PJ.
On the other hand, he was kind enough to come and share the ultimate solution, which he solved on his side. With the help of the community, of course, but he was still the one who solved the thing. Why then put forward an incomplete answer?
So, it doesn't seem unjustified to me that his answer is pinned at the top of the thread if in the future someone finds himself with the same problem.
Hello @Rim-b , Indeed, I could have put forward a response from the community but these were incomplete in view of the initial need. It is thanks to all the stakeholders and the various exchanges that we obtained this result. And it is this result that best meets the initial need. Hence the fact that this answer was tagged as a final solution. Far be it from me to appropriate this merit, that was really not the goal.
