Revolve surface over circumference

[vas123]

Hi

I have two cylinders whose tops I need to cap, each with a dome surface, 72 mm in height. The cylinders are an open surface. The circumference of each resulting dome has to fit perfectly over that of each open cylinder. However because the opening on top of each cylinder is not a perfect circle, I cannot create an axis and consequently create the domes with the revolve operator.

I have also tried to create the caps with the sweep operator (with pulling direction) using semi circular profiles with a radius of 72 mm over the openings – but to no avail.
“The vertex of the profile leads to cusp” is a message I got often.

Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you for your time.

it is amazing the number of people with EnoviaV5 !!!

It looks like your cylinder is just a cloud and not a surface.

if the end of the cylinder is not a circle then it should be an ellipse if the end is planar, or a curve is the end is not planar, and the dome is not a sphere.

If your dome has to be tangent to the cylinder then it is not a revolution surface.

Define what you need properly this will help you create the geometry you're looking for.

I my experience Enovia V5 is usually indicative of one of two things; large companies with a well developed PDM strategy, a particular sort of licence
