Any way to (merge these 2 faces)/(delete reduntant edges) in Sychronous modelling

[St0RM33]

This is a very basic example of such an issue where the defining spline has 2 redundant points or you could say split in 2 (i believe it originated from AutoCAD) but previous history is not available so there is no way to fix the spline other than re-creating the feature.

Is there a tool in Synchronous modeling that can do this job? I've tried some of the tools but i can't seem to find a way to make it work.

Basically a tool like "Delete Edge" that can work with a solid model

Kind regards

There used to be something called 'Join Face', but it only worked if the resulting face was mathematically the same as were the two original faces. In other words, both had to be say planar or cylindrical, etc.

Can you share that model?

This is a quite difficult operation.
Since i don't have access to the particular model, i have to assume some details about it.
The "flat face" would if created in NX be a planar face, a face which is theoretically planar, it cannot bend or twist.
the "blend face" can, if it is a blend feature, swap the math from the simplest cylindrical geometry to very complex free form geometry. ( and variations in between such as conical .)
If imported, the feature will not exist and the face type math is what it is.
You are hoping for a combined approximation of bend-flat-bend.
Since NX will try avoid approximations as long as possible, you will have to create that yourself, and then "swap that in" on the solid body.
I.e Create an approximation surface, then use replace face on the solid.

Hello and thanks for the replies. I have cutout this section and uploaded as a simple body (aka it has parameters removed; either way the model i work on doesn't have them either)


@JohnRBaker: I've gave this a try with both options and it gives me an error message.

@NutAce: Uploaded

@Toost: Yes i understand this, maybe some reverse engineering tool/code would help you re-create the feature like how you can in convergent modelling. The closest i came to solving this is to use the "Edit Cross Section" tool in synchronous modelling. It allows you to edit the spline(s), but it doesn't seem to have an effect after the edit as it reverts the edit.
