surface tangent or curvature to another surface in UGNX8 2

[BABUGOUDA]

hello all

I am working on complex surfaces i need to create a surface tangent or curvature or angle to another curved surface in UGNX8 Is there any option like in catia V5(sweep- with reference surface where in we can change the surface angles).please share the idea
I am using NX8

Thanks,
BGD

Hi
Have you tried Ribbon Builder (Surface/Ribbon Builder)?

Example ? Picture ?

Per the ( very short) description, try Law Extension.

hello Tomas,

please find the attachment

Dear Kapil, :: i tried Ribbon Builder (Surface/Ribbon Builder) will not work... i think not possible.it is really a basic requirement to play with surfaces .but i dont know why it is not included in UG NX.

Please help if u know

Thx BGD

here's an example in 7.5 format containing both a Law extension and a ribbon surface.
There are more ways to create the tangential extension than the law extension.
Reply back if you have further needs that this doesn't fulfill.

Tomas

Thank u very much Tomas, I got exactly what i need .
You said there are also other methods to create the tangential surfaces ..Please tell me what are those options ??

Thx BGD

Tomas & ALL
Also can you please help with the display problem??. just as a example i just placed the cursor over the body(1). in your Law_extension.prt. so i found the display as attached. please note that this display problem is not with your part.i am facing this with all other parts which i open in my UGNX8.just i said your part as an example.
Thanks
BGD

Hi,
Sorry but i should have asked you what are you trying to achieve.Ribbon builder helps you create a surface originating from a curve/edge at an angle to Other surface (not the one on which the curve /edge is).

Not sure if that's a "problem". Unless I'm missing something (because I have no idea what color the apparent Datum Plane might be), what you're seeing is called Preselection Highlighting. If you look in the Cue/Status area, there should be a few words describing what is being highlighted (a feature, a piece of geometry, etc.). If you MB1 click, that's what will be selected or highlighted first to pick with Quick Pick. If this is only happening when your mouse is over the geometry, then nothing is wrong (unless you've got Highlighting turned off).

Also, it may be showing the "parent" of the geometry under the cursor. If you do not want this, you can turn it off in Preferences -> Selection (uncheck the "highlight original" option).

I don't have 8.0 installed so i can't definitely say that what i see in 8.5 is exactly the same, but what i think that the display problem is , in 8.x NX can/ will highlight the original feature-shape upon pre-selection. The highlighted "rectangle" is the original shape of "Body(1)".
I created a "four point surface" ( which is non parametric = "body") then used X-form to give it some shape. This four point surface was also in this case flat. If you go Preferences - Selection - and turn off : Highlight Original NX will not highlight the original shape. ( suppress everything but body(1) and you should see the same shape.)

Some other options to create similar result ( there probably are a few other not mentioned):
*Extension surface ( only a single edge per feature)
* maybe also the Silhouette Flange ( will place a blend between the extension and original edge)
* Enlarge surface ( Will instead enlarge the original surface or a copy and only the non-trimmed surface)

Tomas

I think Toost hit the best ones to start with, but I'll add:
[ul][li]variational sweep[/li]
[li]through curve mesh[/li]
[li]section surfaces (certain variants)[/li][/ul]

Thanks Tomas, I got all what i was needed. so display setting also resolved as you sugested
