Spherical cutout complication...Help would be greatly appreciated

Carl Smith Mar 2, 2008 5:46 PM

I've run into a bit of a snag. I'm trying to express a feature with a spherical shape in aluminum plate much like this here in the picture below but am having some trouble. My first inclination was a spherical protrusion feature...

Modeled Part - Picture 1

Modeled Part - Picture 2

The attached picture is what I have so far. I would also be happy to include the .par file if that would help at all.

Thank you in advance.

Try a Cut-Revolve in a built up plate per attached example.

  I'm having the problem where if I do cut-revolve it cuts into the sphere which is exactly what I don't want.
  
  I was able to open up your file and you've done exactly what I am attempting to do but I realized I don't have SolidWorks on this system, rather, SolidEdge and it will only allow me to see a body view not the individual elements that make up the completed feature.
  
  It looks like I need a solidedge *.par type file to be able to do those sorts of things.

    It was just a simple Revolved-Cut around a boss.
