Where's the FEA report? How can we trust this?

My mistake. I could have sworn that sheet metal had temporary axises but I guess I was confusing them with structural members. Thanks.... and yeah, it's mind bending since the bends are true radii,.. you can create a axis by selecting the face and the temp axis is visable when you offset the face. ...

zxys001

Pretty sure you could use the existing temporary axis to save having to create one. With that said, I did not think SolidWorks would handle this well so I hadn't suggested it. I didn't think it could handle the surface handling of the radius. Pretty neat to see that it can! Hello Alex, Good questio...

Can you rotate faces about the axis of the bend?

I'm surprised that the two I asked about don't already exist...in extensive variety.

No problem.. here's that file with some other texture files as well.

Hello Mike,.. you could create your own texture maps? bcuz, real geometry is extremely taxing.

Hi Jim, Ok, sure many moons ago I had the basic NX Mach version as well, with a few modules (have to get the bill but it was freeform surface and animation) I could get it to crash no problem. Fact, NX handles crappy data really well, period. UU Yes, NX crashed less then and recently. ... than SW bu...

Creo and NX are on another suite/cost level... imho, this is really about SE (SW should not be here imho). NX, (with my limited exposure is NOT that easy to use) for the skilled user it has many ways to go, it has an impressive tool set but still trying to catchup with todays UI's and out of reach f...

I know this is a Solidworks forum and I am using Fusion 360, but I thought my questions, and any advice I got would be applicable. Jake Hello Jake, imho, this is not a SW site as much as it has.. it's more. so with nurbs in either Fusion or any other tools, you need to focus on the boundaries. or b...

yeah, if your need is greater precision or if the assessment is that the surface/edge are that dirty (it kind of is but?) for your application,.. I'd reconstruct as well..otherwise if it falls within the tolerance noise...ship it!

Hello Ryan, I think you've answered your questions in that the drafted surface becomes dirty and the parting surface amplfies it. As you raise the image quality it's not terrible but yeah, if you want to use your manual surface to shutoff on that would be better.

Ah.. the Muskrat.. Interesting take on elmo, I have to say! Yeah, I'd be wary of muskrats followers also. Even though most of the ventures should have tanked, honestly. Many of elmo's companies and their work can't be denied,... he's damn savy for sure and the many talented people (autonomous is a ...

Those things look kind of off to be honest. I have thought AI androids had the Doctor Who Dalek problem. How can they rebel and take over if they can't even navigate stairs?

Hello Ryan... BUG! thanks for sharing this..., it's something I've seen for years, it's not uncommon with either nurbs or analytical arc untrims. yeah, the only difference is the +Y extrude directions and this changes per plane? and if you export/import they still have issues, it Wierd! <()>

For some reason SW cannot patch when I delete that top radius like you showed. Possibly due to 10deg draft on the sides, maybe because the rounds were not created in SW. I don't know. The delete & fill produces some rounded surface. Without seeing the data, I we don't know either... post a Para...
