Ok so this is the sketch that I am trying to create. Essentially I need to make the loop selected in blue to follow the contours of the aerofoil that is unselected (grey). I tried to use the loop tool, loft and boundary but am new to the program so i'm not entirely sure i'm doing it correctly
Here is the Top, side and front view:
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
Mullac,
You will need to provide your outer boundary as seen in your top view as well (orange line). Then, I would proceed by creating "quadrants" of the front outer boundary. You will only need to use one side after you do this as you are symmetric in that plane. So using the line with the black arrows, I would then create a boundary surface that has that as the direction one and the then orange line and the red arrow line as the direction two lines. You will then use the bottom half and create another boundary surface using the orange line again as a direction two curve.
Then I would knit and then mirror and knit again.
This is an approach, but there are others as well, which others may provide. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need to see a sample.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for the response - I've managed to create one quarter of the using the instructions given (thanks) but the sketch disappears once i finish the boundary and make the solid, how would i get this back?
Hi Mullac,
Hit the plus symbol next to your feature in your model tree. You'll see your sketches in there. Right click them and select show.
Mullac.. not sure if this will help but see you have a mix of arc and spline sketches (don't play well together).. so, I set these to all splines or interpolated what would blend well per my eye using the ortho sketches..
