Hello!
Im relatively new to the NX universe but some friends of mine didn't know an answer to my problem, too. In my opinion, it seems to be a simple problem with a simple solution, but we still can't figure it out.
To break the problem down to a minimalistic equivalent:
My main aim is acquire a properly meshed sheetbody with mating meshes on the surfaces in contact. At this point of time, I was not able to achieve a proper mesh without much additional manual work, which is not feasible in an automated process. I guess that the root cause of my problem lies in the part design.
It is not possible to revolve a sketched (lying) "Y" (so basically three faces which are in contact with each other on one curve) as a sheet because of the error which states: "...intersecting section...", am I right? So my next try has been to divide the curve into 2 sketchgroups and revolve the grouped courves seperately, so the problem of intersecting sections is avoided. Consequently, two sheet bodies are the result.
How can i merge them into one sheet body afterwards?
Using the command "sew" in the simulation tree does not deliver the desired results either, as the error "Some sheets disjoint from target - try a looser tolerance" pops up.
Via "stitching edges" it is possible to manually connect the faces, but as a consequence, edges have to be (re-)merged for a favourable result.
Furthermore, I've already tried to revolve the curves as solidbodies with an offset of -5/+5mm and united them in order to create a midsurface. Unfortunately, the midsurface is also depicting more than one sheetbody and the meshes aren't mating aswell.
Can somebody of you please help me? In the best case, we were just to dumb to see the solution, even if it might be easier than expected.
Thank you in advance
Kind regards
Benny
