Surface Definition, Subsurface

[Surface Definition, Subsurface]

Hi there,

 

I have a general querstion about surface modeling and subsurfaces. I want to cut off a plate, which is intersected by a cylinder. As you can see here , Caeses can not get the whole domain to trim the surface. It tries to split the domain into sub-domains instead, such that each sub-domain has four boundries. I want to ask if it's possible to trim an intersection surface without segmentation? Can Caeses define a surface with e.g. five boundaries? After calculating the intersection curve, does Caeses redefine the u-v parametrization with respect to the new trimmed surface or original untriimed one?

P.S. It's not even possible to gather all parts together with polysurface afterwards.  

[Fillet Modeling for Manifolds and Volute Tongues etc]

Hi Jörg,

 

I'm working on my master thesis at MAN company, where I have to develop an automatized design process chain to design assymmetric volute casing in Caeses. Unfortunately because of company secret, I cannot provide you the original geometry, espicially here in a public Forum. I want to write a feature definition that recognize automatically the correct intersection curve between the volute an the exit cone, trim them afterwards and then create a fillet with a constant radius between the two. Since the parameter s of our geometry are very variable, the process should not be error prone or depend on individual casees. BTW, we are in contact with Mr. Mattia Brenner in this regard. But now I have a specific question. what's the best way to trim intersected volute and outlet cone?

 

 

Cheers,

[Fillet Modeling for Manifolds and Volute Tongues etc]

Hey together,
 
I want to create a fillet between the spiral casing and the exit cone, but when it comes to creating surface curve and subsurface, I'm getting several problem. One of them is that Caeses doesn't recognize the correct subspace, when I want to create one. Here's a simple example. Attached you can see that with the side index "1" the intersection part is captured , which has to be deleted. The complementary of this part is the correct part, which has to be kept as my subsurface. But as you can see here , there is no way to get this part by changing the side index from 1 to 4. Here's the domain curve as well . Any Idea or suggestion?

[Rename objects in a feature]

Hey guys,

 

Is it possible to rename an object in feature programming (e.g. in a loop)?

 

Here, I have a bsplinecurve called "tmp" in the picture  and I want to give it an appropriate name. I just used the function "setName()" to rename it, but it doesn't seem to work, despite getting no error. The curve still has the name "tmp" . So how can I get to rename the curve in my feature?

 

 

Thank you very much in advance

Hi Ceyhan,

 

Thank you so much for the response. The problem is gone now.

Hi Carsten,

 

I,m having the same problem like Rustys. The folder "C:/ProgramData/Application Data/boost_interprocess" doesn't exist on my pc, but I deleted the file "FS_LICENSE_SHM2" in the folder "C:/ProgramData/boost_interprocess".  Unfortunately it brought me nothing. I,m getting the same error like before. Any ideas how I can fix it?

 

 

Best regard,

[How to switch on/off "toggle visibility" for each object (curve, surface, ...) in a feature separately?]

Hi Joerg,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

That's a goog idea. So I can obviously control the visibility of each curve. But If I have e.g. 15 objects (curves and surfaces etc.) in a feature, do I need to define 15 Boolean variables as argument !!?? Or would you mabe recommend to create an individual feature definition for each object?

[How to switch on/off "toggle visibility" for each object (curve, surface, ...) in a feature separately?]

Hi Joerg,

 

As you can see in the attached screenshots, I have a feature called "f1" and it has two curves ("a_Circle" and "bsp") I can switch on/off "toggle visibility" of my feature (f1) in the object tree. But there's no button "toggle visibility" for each of a_Circle and bsp separately. The problem is, if I turn on/off the visibility of "f1", then both a_Circle and bsp will be shown/hidden together. i want to have the possibility to turn on/off each of them individually in the object tree.

[How to switch on/off "toggle visibility" for each object (curve, surface, ...) in a feature separately?]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm wonking on a feature, which has to create some curves and surfaces as results. Is there any way to make each of these curves and surfaces visible/invisible separately (e.g. through setVisible() function) ? The "Is Drawable" setting on the "General" tab is active. 

 

 

Best Regards,
