You can now define a work point at the center of a sphere. In previous releases, a sphere was not a valid selection to locate a work point. In the model used in the following image, an additional 17 edges are filleted after the first 142 edges are successfully filleted. In this release, any blend failures open a dialog box with the option to fillet the successful edges.Īfter you fillet the initial edge selection, you can repeat the operation using the same size radius. In previous releases, if one edge in a fillet selection set failed, the entire fillet operation failed. The image on the right uses the maximum weight factor of 1.0 The following image shows the effect of using different weight factors.

Boundary Patch Create complex shapes using the added weight factors for tangent and smooth boundary patch types.

You can include edges that are not tangent.

Automatic Edge Chain Provides a streamlined workflow when you select multiple edges.

New sweep functionality lets you create a surface using a perpendicular profile along a closed G0 path.

Previously, creating a swept surface using a profile that was perpendicular to a closed G0 (not smooth or tangent) path failed. The spiral and coil operations are successful. To resolve the issue, the sketch geometry is split into two segments. A circle creates single face and causes the coil to fail. In the following image, the sketch profiles are circles. Inventor can create these shapes without any special treatment. In the following image, the sketch profiles are composed of multiple lines which creates multiple faces when the sketch is consumed.

All of the following coil examples use a pitch value of 10 mm which is equal to the profile size. If the profile is a single entity like a circle, split the sketch into two segments. NoteSelf-intersecting sweeps and coils are allowed, but a single face cannot intersect itself. If the pitch is equal to the profile, the coils touch but do not intersect. Coils that used a pitch value equal to the profile size also failed. In previous releases, self-intersecting coils failed. The following image displays examples of previous sweep failures on the left, and successful 2014 sweeps on the right.Ĭoils also benefit from the enhancements made in 2014. You can sweep large profiles along small fillets and bends. With the enhanced sweep command, you can create sweeps that were previously considered too complex to solve.
