fill shell made of surfaces

[PiDezz]

good morning to all, after a few months and a little more experience on pro-e w2, I return to ask for your precious help.

I find myself having to use a part created a couple of years ago by a former supplier to whom it is no longer possible to ask how much I need to send.

the problem is that the part I have available is an empty shell made of surfaces.

Is there a possibility of "filling it" in order to have a solid?

Thank you in advance.

 

[maxopus]

in principle yes, it is possible.
Can you post the file?

 

[PiDezz]

No, it's huge. and then I fear that I would risk the place

 

[maxopus]

one screen-shot?

 

[PiDezz]

If I understood correctly...

I practically have only the surfaces but it is empty inside, if I do a section I see the contour....

 

[PiDezz]

here is a section

 

[maxopus]

seems closed, have you tried with the "solid" command?

 

[PiDezz]

I'm afraid not... indeed, sincerely I have not seen any trace on the manuals and I have read nothing that could make me think of this in the titles of the 19 pages dedicated to the modeling of pro-e on this forum and therefore I ignored its existence... .
Since I have everything in English, you'd be kind enough to tell me what menu it is and what it's called.. .

 

[PiDezz]

ah pardon....
given the solidify command on the edit menu (think you refer to this), but selecting the feature does not activate... .

Is this an imported piece? Did you check if there are open spaces?
the solidification command is activated only before selecting the surface, and only works if it is closed

the problem is precisely that, if selecting the union surfaces the command does not activate you is because there is some defect in geometry (disconnections or holes).

 

[PiDezz]

it has imported, practically is the negative of the mold surfaces.

Yes, of course selected surface, but it does not activate.

I don't know if there's a method to check if everything is actually closed, but I would say yes.

 

[PiDezz]

drastic decision.
I make the piece....

Thanks anyway.

Try to see if there are open spaces.
the command do not know if it exists, I of usual know them because the edges are of color different from the closed surfaces (I set them in yellow).
otherwise try dangling a piece of surface, do stretch looking for open loops, so you can find them.
if you do not activate the solidification there is definitely a spazzio a hole on the mathematics, it can also be very small.
