Question

Patch thickening of surface model

Hello,

I'm struggling to thicken part of my surface model. I've created a boundary blend on the inside and tried to thicken that, which has failed. It says the part has failed to intersect.

I was then intending to solidify the external surface to fill the patch in the model.

I have attached a step file of the model. The problem is in prt006.

I think the problem could be due to a converging line on the external surface.

I would appreciate any help.

Sam

Hi,

your part and assembly were created in educational version of Creo. Nobody with commercial version can open it.

If I understand your problem, you may try to patch both inside and outside.  This should allow you to solidify the patched region.

This is a tough one.  I might suggest removing one surface of the solid to make the whole part a quilt.  Next, make the patch; combine into a single quilt of only one skin; then thicken the entire quilt again.
