Surf problem with STYLE

[ilmegor]

I'm trying to make a 1.5mm thick cover for an electronic part, starting from a Style surf. Theblue surface on top was made with a boundary then trimmed with the upper profile. The border of the cover (yellow)is made with two primary (white)and four internal (red) curves. all of them have the tangency-surface condition with the upper surface but the result is not good and I cannot thicken it! Do I need more internal curves? or something else?


Any idea (.prt file included 2005-09-30_052823_surf.prt.zip)?


Thanks!!!!

Hi!

Do I need more internal curves? or something else?

Excuse me,.. but





First af all, revise your methods of Surface Design!


(See PTC tutorials for details)


Then, after eachmanipulations with surfacesuse


Analysis -> Geometry -> Reflection


to detect tangency problems that also will account for


unsuccessful thicken.

thanks for your kind reply.

I think I already put all tangency where needed but it seems it can't go further than 1.10mm

. Can anyone help using the same primary curvesandjustchanging (modifying, adding or deleting) the internal curves? (BTW I know I could do the same part in other way but I need to do it with STYLE and with the same primary curves)

It sounds like there is curvature which is too great to allow much thickening. Try revising your curves again to be less sharp if you want more thickening.

Thanks guys!


Velozid: Yes but revising the curve means changing them??


Fhodzhon: Well you're right, this is another way but...did you use STYLE? I need to use that feature in order to control dynamically the borders...Thanks.
