Dual Outlet Diffuser Duct

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I am trying to create a duct with dual outlets and diffuser capabilities.  I have followed the swept duct tutorial and created the general parametric geometry I am looking for.  The problem I am having is that I want the two mirror image parts to intersect as an open channel.  I have tried solid from intersection, boolean operations, but to no success.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael,

 

Please find attached the updated model.

A boolean "Unite" operations is a solid operation. Therefore you should have your geometry water-tight. For each part I have added the "Close Planar Holes" operation which converted them to water-tight geometries and then created a new BRep in which I have performed the Union operation.

 

Cheers

Hi Ceyhan,

 

Thank you so much for your help. So am I correct in thinking that you need to have a closed surface before using the union command? I will definitely learn from this.  Take care.
