Question

Cutting profile cylinders with surfaces

Hello, community,
I am still using Creo1.0 and have a problem cutting with surfaces created via Trajpar.
With a straight cylinder without profile this works but if I insert a notch I get an error message.
My real goal is to cut a twisted profile cylinder (hidden in the file). Here it only works in one direction.
Where is my fault?

You model is an academic version so I cannot see the model, but I can see the icon sufficiently.

 

Were you using merge to trim the surfaces or a sweep-cut?

You can try intersect; you can try trim...  The intersect shape is somewhat complex. 

Creo has a hard time with these sometimes.

Is there a reason you are doing this in an empty assembly file rather than a part file?

Hello,
you're right, I wanted to build a simulation model in ASM and thought simple bodies were going there.

I have now built the model in PRT and in the commercial Version.

My problem: I want to cut stripes out of a turned profile surface but can't get the body trimmed with an opposite turned surface. On the other hand, I can create a cutting line. The surfaces are controlled by relations with the Trajpar function.
Where is the error?

You that the cut you will make is a simple linear cosine intersect, right?
