This a part from MySolidWork tutorial. A part file is in parasolid format and it’s fillet edges are repaired and top surface was replaced by an external surface. But I couldn’t see any difference in surface replacement. Are you able to see any differences?
Maha,
There's definitely a difference as the fillet is smaller on the repaired part & so there has to be a difference in the replaced surface, even if only towards the edges.
In the imported part there were seven fillet faces so that delete and Patch made it five. It was understood. Need for Surface replacement does not have clear view.
By adjusting the fillet dimension you can have big or small fillet.
..definitely different..cylinder vs torus..
This is the surface used to replace it.
...yes, that is from a Torus... (do about 5 untrims @ 100%)
I wish to know whether replacement is really needed for this part or just to demonstrate the concept.
Okay I got it. Thank you very much for your help.
Hey Maha,.. glad you tried that out!... the "Untrim" gives us clues/story about what the underlaying geometry is/was.. those surfaces hold defined analytical parameters.
Maha. From my surfacing book. it says this is a technique for modifying an imported model.
