Hello everyone, i've been working on this file(s) for a quite some time now as part of my thesis. So far im stuck and asking here seems like my final solution, don't know what else to do really.
The goal here is to have 2mm of thickness on the whole part. and of course it is not possible to simply use the shell command. I've found a solution with "2 sketches + fill + merge + solidify + extrude" method but i just simply can't get 2mm thickness (or any other thickness). I will add some pictures for you to see what I've tried to do exactly.
The second version of this part (name starts with "Testcase") has no thickness, seems actually pretty easy with thicken command but like the first igs file, there are so many gaps on the part and i just can't make it "closed" completely. The second version also needed scaling but that was not a problem (scaling 180/700 is okay).
So I've hit a big brick wall here with this task. I hope someone can help me with it.
Hi,
I tested your Testcase_Spirale_v20190520.iges surface model. I think it contains problematic geometry. To get thickened geometry, you have to repair surface model.
Suggestion:
1.] open Testcase_Spirale_v20190520.iges surface model
2.] create datum plane DTM1 offset from RIGHT
3.] trim model geometry using DTM1
4.] thicken current model geometry
you will get following warning ... I guess it tells you that geometry is "suspicious"
click YES, Creo creates solid geometry
zoom in ... you will see problematic geometry (magenta and yellow color)
... now you have to resolve this problem
Note: You can modify dimension related to DTM1 to see more thickened geometry. If regeneration fails after modification then you know that you hit another problematic geometry.
Good luck ...
