Hi guys,
I'm new to Solidworks. I tried to model the following object but I have to fillet all hard edges because in the real world we don't have any pure sharp edge.
When I fillet sharp edges, SW hangs and when I click anywhere it crashes. I don't know why.
I tried out many times but I failed. Can anybody help me to learn the cause and its solution?
Thanks.
Thank you Olly.
..well, the first problem is, there are separate bodies which need to be merged.. but that is creating a problem because of the knit or singularities in the boundary surfaces (as noted by Olly.., NOT USED).. and Sketch4 does not properly cut at the beginning.. and that which needs to be fixed first.
so, you'd need to start over with another way... see attached... I used a surface offset of 0 for the corner and a Ruled surface for the "v" ..... then, I trim away the radii's and the "v" .... so I used Fill surfaces for the blend and now have the corner surfaces to Knit......
..for the Fillets.. first, I need to get something which can help with the blending.. so, I blend the edge of the two Fill surfaces... now, I can Pattern them... and Combine... then add more fillets..
Thank you Paul.
Hi,
Unfortunately, as it stands this model is un-filletable, although rarely do we actually try to fillet such small radii even though you are correct that perfectly sharp internal corners do not exist.
There are however issues with the surfaces not actually touching (See screenshot to see the incorrect geometry. I think this originates around Boundary-Surface30 in that it is not touching the faces of the cross of the screw driver. Personally I would delete Boundary-Surface 30 and create 2 more planar surfaces to ensure that they are touching the faces. Then carry out your surface knit and Pattern.
Once you have done this, use the Combine Tool to combine all the solid bodies and then try using the fillet tool. This model will only word if the fillets are less than 0.02mm radius.
Hope this helps, Olly
