Filling up small cracks between solids

[jpolihro]

Hello All,

I am trying to align 2 solid bodies so they intersect without forming small-area faces.
Then my goal is to combine them in a single volume and avoid "cracks" or short sticking-out edges.

What is your strategy on that?

I thought of:
1) build edges that coincide with the crack edges (here is a problem, because some of these edges are curved)
2) fill surfaces
3) close all fill-surfaces and create a solid volume inside the crack like a "tooth filling"
4) combine all voulmes

Any ideas?...

Problem solved:

I managed to avoid cracks by changing my model and then formed an assembly, used mating to constrain the positions of the bodies. In particular, I chose 1 face on each solid and forced these faces to be "coincident" with opposing normal vectors. Then by using the magnifier I was able to adjust the needed edges so that they became coincident with high degree of precision.

Mostly, the answer of the issue was:
1) form an assembly
2) do mating

Thank you for all suggestions.

You weren't using mates before your last post ?????
How were you aligning parts?

Why do you need to use the magnifier to "to adjust the needed edges so that they became coincident with high degree of precision"?

Sorry if I forgot to mention I am a newbie to SW

Mates can (and should be) used in both assemblies and multi-body parts.
