Install Groove Around Part Perimeter 1

[BrittToolEngineer]

Greetings:

I have a part that sets on a buck. The buck is contoured per part data. After the contour is installed, we need a .25 wide groove x .1875 dp around the perimeter of the part. I have attached a parasolid of the actual parts and my attempt to install the groove. With my groove currently installed, I'm unable to put the .125 Radius blend in each corner nicely all the way around. Can anyone help me with this problem. I'm using NX11.

Thanks,

Brent

Is this the issue ?

Tomas,

Yes, I believe that is the issue. Not sure how to make my trim bodies consistent on the bottom where they trim to make smooth surfaces that will enable the blend to go in nicely.

How do You created this model? The surfaces are fold up. Try maybe optimalize face? You can also add some small radius on this orange face. There is also option to unsew some surfaces and create new ones by for example swept, and then sew them to old ones.

With best regards
Michael

I took a different route, see attached file. Not absolutely perfect, but pretty close.

mmauldin, thanks a bunch for helping. What you had was much closer than what I had and you've shown me methods I did not think of. Thanks again.
