    Edge Blend Self Intersection

    Hi mmauldin, Yes, I am seeing similar limits to the blend. Now to figure out how to change the blend such that I can get a decent size conical blend without changing the cylinder size or angle. Thanks for the help! cowski, Yes I am trying to avoid both the pinched area and the self...

    Edge Blend Self Intersection

    Hi cowski, You are right, how I described the previous "cylinder" wasn't really cylindrical. I made a new model, where the circle sketch is oriented normal to the projection direction to make a true cylinder. Unfortunately, I am running into the same issue. Maybe the blend radius being larger...

    Edge Blend Self Intersection

    Hi cowski, I sketched a circle on the flat plate, then extruded that circle at 60 degree angle relative to the flat plate to create the cylinder. I can try uploading the file later today, but it is definitely not a B-surface. Thanks, Kevin

    Edge Blend Self Intersection

    Hi Jerry, I had tried increasing the tolerance all the way up to 0.1", and it didn't seem to help. mmauldin, Do you know of a way around this problem? Essentially, here are the things that are fixed: Cylinder radius Cylinder angle to flat plate "Radius" size I have "Radius" in parenthesis...

    Edge Blend Self Intersection

    Hi mauuldin, thanks for the reply! Unfortunately these setting work only some of the time, and greatly depends on the fillet size, cylinder diameter, and cylinder angle. For my case, these settings don't help much, and leave a "cusp" in the fillet still. In your example, I bet if you were to...

    Edge Blend Self Intersection

    I have some fairly simple geometry. Using NX12, a cylinder is angled at 45 degrees relative to a flat plate, and I would like to put an edge blend around the intersection of the cylinder and the plate. This works at very small radius values, but as the radius increases, there appears to be a...
