Hi.
I'm trying to make a model with 2 loft surfaces like the images below.
Even though I use same curve, there exist a gap between those surfaces.
the 2nd figure below is the model seeing from one side, and I can see the red surface outside.
how can I avoid it? It's gonna be a problem when I put this model in to the mesh generating software.
I cannot make a good mesh because of this gap.
thanks for any help.
Yes, I've done.
Try making the second loft using the edge of the first loft (instead of just using common curve).
Have You tried to change your Performance settings to a higher quality display? I believ that this is just a display problem..
well, I've never changed it.
but the problem is not only display. When I imported IJES data to Gridgen(mesh generating software), there's gap so big that I can't ignore to make mesh
Attach your *.sldprt here.
Well Solidworks is not the best in generating mesh files You need to repair them.
I mean even a "perfect" part might result in an "invalid" mesh. So best is that You attach your part here..
Masaru,
I don't really know why your edges wouldn't line up near the center, but I would warn you that you are liable to have problems near the ends with Loft or Boundary Surfaces. I believe that two sided surfaces like yours go degenerate at the end points.
Boundary Surfaces are usually better than Lofts at following the edges, so I would try using them. I would also try breaking your surfaces up into a Boundary Surface for the center section and Fill Surfaces for the ends.

Have you tried to knit the surfaces together?
