JCReynolds79 - you make an excellent point. I've just spent an hour and couldn't find a way in assembly mode either.
If you find a way, please share it.
This needs to be on a PTC 'wish list'.
Sounds easy. Now go try it.
Remember that I want the cut to start and end with the 'round' surface geometry of the cylinder doing the cut - much like a minimill would do if rotating perpendicular about the axis of the part. And I want the remaining 'key' feature to be of a fixed size.
So...
But then I'd end up with a square end to the cut? I may be missing something, if so, please explain.
Basically, I need to be able to take the shape of a solid, sweep it along a path, and do the cut.
I've included a better picture to explain this. I realize this could likely be done in 2-3...
Is there a way in proE to revolve a cylinder with it's axis perpendicular to the part axis (which is cylindrical) to create a cut in the part (i.e. simulate a machine cut using a minimaster cutting tool)?
This has been covered somewhat in thread554-112447 but I find it very difficult to believe...
I am a new user trying to run a simple structural analysis.
When I try to do the computation phase I keep receiving the following error:
"Acquisition of field model failed:
Could not find any property
Check your model"
I have applied material to the Part Body, meshed the part...
