cylinder closure

[fidippide]

Good morning, the thread title can be misleading. I need to close the piece of the image attached with a "spherical" part. I thought I'd use bevels but it's not very elegant. Would you have any suggestions? Thank you!

 

[gianni55]

but do you want to stop it, or act only on the edge?

on the edge: Internal fitting equal to half thickness, outer fitting equal to half thickness

cap: outside edge extracts, profile selections extracted, prisma same direction, thickness to pleasure, fittings on external to pleasure

almost spherical stopper: you need to build surfaces and sew them to solid

I would like to stop it with a sort of spherical surface with the same thickness of the piece. Thank you so much gianni55 but I struggle to put your advice in place.

outside edge, profile selections extracted, create prism with direction axis direction tube with thickness about as the maximum size of the pipe , execute fittings on external giving it pseudo spherical shape, perform an emptying equal to the thickness of the tube

Let me know.

"you're always going out of the "generative shape design" environment? the prism goes straight, how do I make it "fold" towards the center? Thank you and excuse ignorance.

 

[gianni55]

yes from the generative shape
Of course the prism goes straight
then you make the fittings

(with that basic profile the ball is approximated with fittings see example attached)

Good morning gianni55, I don't know how you managed to redesign the piece. I tried to open the annex but it gives me the following error:I never even used the "guscio" command. the version I use is v5r19. Thank you so much!

 

[gianni55]

different version. . .

Sorry.

try to follow the instructions and copy the tree.

Hi.

a last tip, unfortunately off topic but not so much. at the beginning of each catpart, what options do I have to check? Thank you.

 

[gianni55]

at the beginning better just "create a geometric group"

I'm sorry, but I can't use the emptying command. I looked on the net but I didn't find much, maybe I should look in English. I came to close the "tubo" with the fittings, following your advice. Now I want to empty it from inside using the "emptying" command. Can I still take advantage of your kindness? Thank you.

You should at least find a caty guide otherwise it is difficult. . .

cmq faces to be erased select the inner face, the one that is seen in the first image
then assign a value to the internal thickness.

to practice, build a simple parallelepipedo and then do some evidence

I'm on my way, I did it. Thank you!
