cylinder head cad

[Stevdar]

Hi everyone , hoping someone can help.
iam trying to design a 4 valve cylinder head and i am having trouble getting the two inlet ports to converge into one bigger diameter like the pictures below.
Does anyone know how i can do this in solidworks????

....but it sounds like Loft to me.

Two different methods come to mind, one would be the loft mentioned above, the second could be to model the air passage as a model and then use the "indent" feature to cut out the air passages into the material. It's sometimes easier to model how you want the passage to look as a solid and then use the indent to transfer it into the the other model.

just gotta play with it.

Yes indent might work well ,
i just thought there might be some fancy surfacing that might make it easy to do

Loft and knit trimmed surfaces - attach your image here.

Morning Stevdar,
Surfacing will work well, whether you use indent or not. Surfacing is a different animal to create models with, but the power of it would work well in your case, especially if you were using Flow to study the design you create. It's always the case though, to make it great it takes a bit more time.
