from solid surfaces in solidworks

[ciuffo]

Bye to all,
are new user of forum and new user of solidworks2010,
I work in the pump industry and in particular I am drawing a plumbing, the information at my disposal allows me to create essentially surfaces (until a month ago we worked with rhinoceros). I have easily managed to create the surfaces that delimit the profile of my interest, I must now create the solid starting from such surfaces, does anyone know what I recommend to give me? ?

Thank you:

Hi.
try to create a solid revolution with the sweep function.
will be

If you go to the surface menu there is an icon "join surfaces" and among the various options there is a "try to form a solid" or something like that.

not always working

I would erase everything and keep the sketches, and instead of working with the surfaces, I would work with solid controls.
I recommend, if not an obligation, if you did not do a sw course, to follow the tutorials, otherwise you would go to generate modeling obbrobris.

mmm
My shovel is variable in both longitudinally and transversally, so I would need a sweep with loft, with proe I could do it, here it does not seem possible.

working in solid does not allow me to control the necessary surfaces. I will try cmq to follow that road too.
I am a new solidworks user, not solid modeling, I worked with different types of programs and still make confusion about who does what and especially with what command!!! :biggrin:

now I try the uniform surfaces!! !

Thanks for the suggestions! ! !

with sw you can make a variable section loft with guide curves that bring variability to the longitudinal section and that generates a solid.
the solid loft algorithm and loft surfaces, such as the solid sweep and sweep surface is the same, only that puts a stopper to the sections.

the surfaces are used for cases where you want to maintain tangences or curvatures to adjacent faces, but in your case, the shape of a shovel is to itself.

hi or do as soliduser told you or if you have supoerphs and you want to create them in 3d use the thickening command if it is a planar surface

the most comfortable solution was "the extrusion with delimitation" and I had it right under my nose:

I have cmq tried to use the loft but it does not seem to want to collaborate, sin, because I would have avoided several steps of modeling. . .

thanks to all again:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

the loft owns the pointers and as director also the half board, while extrusion with delimitation no.
but the extrusion with delimitation has the management of tangency and curvature on all the curves used.
If you place an image or the file we can look at why the loft does not come to you.

I asked in assistance, the answer given me was to try to use fewer sections for loft creation... In fact, dividing the solid into three parts solves the problems, but I think I turn the head on the other side to adopt a similar procedure. . .

Listen, no file as we can tell you what the best way is.
on this forum I opened 2 files and I saw them shaped like crap.
I could give you all the tips of the world and assistance as well, but it depends on how you shaped it.

What says assistance is not true of logic.
you can put n sections, but if the passage between one and the other is managed by guide curves, these must be built with criterion, otherwise the surface becomes ugly.
