2:1 Ellip. Endcap. How to model flat surf

[dafinch]

I am currently modelling a 2:1 Ellip. Endcap.
I need the surface of the cap to have three areas pressed flat to provide a surface onto which 3 X 1/2" BSPP sockets can be welded. Does anyone know how to model this feature?
Can provide a jpeg or step file which shows what i am trying to achieve.
Regards

I didnot understand ur question exactly, my pardon. Please make a jpg and mark on it where u need to make a feature. I think it is not a big problem.

You seem to have it modeled already with your step file but if you want to make it from scratch in Pro/E I would do the following:

1) Revolve a solid feature with the eliptical top cross section and a flat bottom (not a thin feature).
2) Add the 3 flats as extruded cuts. (patterned)
3) Att the "fill port" or what ever it is as a revolved protrusion.
4) Shell the part to get a constant wall thickness with the bottom surface and the "fill port" top surface removed.

I'll make it and attach a file when I get a chance.
