Remove feature from non parametric model 1

[venomex]

Hello,
I need guidance/direction to remove the feature(in blue colour). The data is non parametric and I tried using synchronous modeling but couldn't remove the desired feature.
Any help/ guidance would be appreciated


Thanks

In NX11 I managed to remove it...took some effort though.

In such complex cases I always start with an Optimize Face. Next I started to remove all the blends from the area I wanted to remove...Some of them you need to re-apply afterwards.
After that the rest wasn't that hard anymore. I find that Blends are usually the biggest issue for NX to repair...that's why I remove them first.

Hi

I Using nx8.5

Can you post the part(link) in step format (So I can try to it) Thanks

 

[NutAce]

By the way...I didn't use any new techniques. What I did is also possible in NX9 and NX10. Not sure about NX8.5 though

@ Ronald
thanks for the guidelines. It was very helpful.
I have come upto the below shown image, but when I try to replace the top & side faces so as to seal/ close the gap (to get a clean surface)I get a b surface error.
Can you help me with this?
Attached is the image.

I've attached the stp file.

You still have some blends in the square holes on top. I didn't replace the top face...I deleted the side faces from the holes. NX will close the top face.

Hi

here my result
to remove the feature(in blue colour)

Set layer 222 to see the tools I used.

Thank you

@Ronald
Thanks.
I removed all the blends around the feature I wanted to remove(on both upper & lower sides) but I still get b surface errors.
Is it possible for you to share the part you had worked on?

@a984928
Thanks, but that is not exactly what I needed. The blue features need to be removed completely as Ronald has shown in fist image( the blue rib seen is needed) and the gaps sealed/closed so as to make a seamless part which doesn't give hint that a (blue)feature(s) were present earlier .

Pratham thank you for notice me

The original model has three colors
Magenta,sky color,and blue color

I was naive and challenged to be closed to the
blue color.

Thank you again for the notice.

@ a984928
True, I was a mistake from my end as well. I had selected some faces and given it one shade of blue and selected another set of faces taking another shade of blue. I realized that later and generalized both the different shades of blues as blue in general.
Sorry for confusing you.

Ronald,
The part which I sent you at first and next are the same.
Both are small part(split body) of a bigger part.
The first part was in original state while other is the part with most of fillets removed from the complete part.
Then I split part and extracted the body.

Thank you for the explanation.

Do you always prefer working with unparameterized methods.
Using Synchronous methods.
Or this is a historical part.

@ a984928
It actually a part from catia, which was used earlier in our company. We have shifted to NX now...
