Question

Toroidal Bend Issue

Looking for some assistance after trying what I believe is everything.

I am developing a tire with a finished profile as a flat.  Once the tread and details are complete, I am looking to apply the bend.  Everything works fine with 1 half of the tread, the bend works.  I finish the other side and the bend fails.

 

Any thoughts?

I don't open .rar files as a rule, but why are you not making the full 360 degree bend in one feature?

The RAR is just a compressed archive, the model is over 20MB.

I am doing a 360, as stated above, it works with half the tread (SIDE-A), as soon as the other half is activated(SIDE-B), the bend fails.  The results can be found in the file.

Got it.  What if you lay the tread first and then the rotated carcass?

 

Something about boundary blend is like warp where the formed features are copies of the original.

This may be causing a problem.  At least, the carcass appears to be the only common element.
