pdomenicali Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 I don't see any other online place to upload a support request, so I'll do it here. The attached part file has two sweeps attached to a cylinder. Edit the cross section of either sweep and reduce the radius of the circle to some value below .05 inch (try .04). Upon regeneration the surface of the entire part gets corrupted. Or for other values (try .03) only the wire surfaces get corrupted. Any idea what's going on here?

Robert Andersson Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I always use ACIS for 3d sweept parts. Robert Andersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronKevin Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 The ACIS facet modeler does handle the 3D Sweep shapes better then Parasolid. IronKevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdomenicali Posted June 3, 2002 Author Share Posted June 3, 2002 Thanks, guys. Going to ACIS for this part does indeed fix the problem I reported. So now I've seen my first example of something ACIS handles better than Parasolid! Also I'm glad to see we can now get mass properties on assemblies of mixed kernel parts (a while ago we needed all parts to be in the same kernel to get the mass of an assembly). Case closed.
