Good morning everyone.
I'm here to ask help for the rib feature,.
I spent some hours trying to use the rib feature but still falls on the error "not bounded properly"
Would someone kindly teach me the right way to do it?
Here is the photo of the sketch I have to make and the project file.
Things I have done so far
- tried to make a plane parallel to the rib direction, and tried to make the limiting line by piercing the cylinder at some defined point (bounded error)
- tried to join directly from the bigger cylinder to the smaller one (bounded error)
- tried to join from the smallr cylinder to the bigger one (rib isn't the one asked for)

Giuseppe,
SolidwWorks cannot create the rib if you have your rib sketch coincident with the top of each cylinder. There are two possible solutions below:
1: Make your rib sketch coincident with the top of each cylinder but extend it each end parallel with the top faces.
2: Make your rib sketch coincident with the vertical edge of each cylinder but drop it down from the top vertex by a small amount. You will have to experiment with this depending on the width of your rib & the size of the cylinders.
Hope this helps.
