the condition Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi, first of all. Have a small question for someone who knows Solid, how to "cut the lump" in assembly composed of 2 parts like on image. So, I need to smooth cylinder with eliptical cap shape. Thx.

JD Mather Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Why not model as multi-body solids to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the condition Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'll give it a try, havent really used multi-body that much, I need it to be in 2. parts for further manifacturing, so I always sketched part by part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhamze Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Edit the part in context of the assembly. Create a 0 offset of surface, then use cut with surface to remove geometry from part. If you can provide a part and better explanation of what your trying to achieve I can provide an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-body really simplfies stuff like this. It does create an extra file - but all your dimensions are in one master file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked with multi-body, but I did similar in CATIA like you suggested, so I'm interested to learn that in Solid. I'll provide two parts in attachment. podnica 152 R-taljan_donja.SLDPRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhamze Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Is the attached what your trying to accomplish? If so, let me know and I will provide an example. If not, can you explain in better detail of what your trying to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
