Creating Parametric Surfaces in RevWorks
Creating Parametric Surfaces RevWorks can automatically generate a parametric surface from collected point data. When Parametric Surface generation is enabled, RevWorks automatically creates a series of sketch profiles that are used as lofting and ...
About Parametric Surfaces - Modifying Parametric Surfaces
Modifying Parametric Surfaces Parametric surfaces are created as SOLIDWORKS surfaces lofted between multiple sketch sections that are derived from an original DirectSurf surface. DirectSurf parametric surfaces may be edited using any of the ...
About Parametric Surfaces - Adding Cross Curves to Parametric Surface Generation
Adding Cross Curves to Parametric Surface Generation RevWorks can automatically generate a set of cross curves to more fully define a parametric surface. The curves generated are not automatically added to the surface feature generation, but are ...
About Parametric Surfaces - Setting the Number of Profiles for Parametric Surface Generation
Setting the Number of Profiles for Parametric Surface Generation You can set the number of profiles that RevWorks creates to generate a parametric surface. To Set the Number of Profiles Used for Parametric Surface Generation. From the RevWorks ...
About Parametric Surfaces - Enabling Parametric Surface Generation
Enabling Parametric Surface Generation RevWorks can generate static reference surfaces or parametric surfaces. When the generation of parametric surface has been enabled, RevWorks automatically creates the set of section planes and sketch profiles ...
About Parametric Surfaces - Creating Parametric Surfaces
Creating Parametric Surfaces RevWorks can automatically generate a parametric surface from collected point data. When Parametric Surface generation is enabled, RevWorks automatically creates a series of sketch profiles that are used as lofting and ...
About Parametric Surfaces
About Parametric Surfaces In addition to the direct creation of reference surfaces from collected point data, the RevWorks DirectSurf module provides the option of creating parametric surfaces. DirectSurf achieves this by automatically sectioning ...
About Surfaces - Setting Spline Type for Spline-Bounded Surface
Setting Spline Type for Spline-Bounded Surface The limits of Spline-Bounded surfaces are defined by a single spline that you control with the Spline Boundary Type option setting. The setting you choose determines how closely the trimming spline ...
About Surfaces - Setting Surface Extension
Setting Surface Extension Often when collecting data to form a surface to be used as an extrusion boundary or as a cutting surface, it is not possible to get points close enough to the edge of the surface to fully bound or cut the solid being ...
About Surfaces - Setting Surface Type
Setting Surface Type RevWorks can automatically generate two types of surfaces from collected point data: Curved (NURBS) - Creates a smooth, best-fit surface feature that approximates the curvature of the collected data. Planar – Creates a best-fit ...
Creating Surfaces - Creating a Spline-Bounded Surface
Creating a Spline-Bounded Surface RevWorks creates a spline-bounded surface from a set of digitized 3D points. The spline-bounded surfaces are surface patches whose outside edge is defined by a spline of a specified degree of tightness. These ...
Creating Surfaces - Creating a Point-Aligned Surface
Creating a Point-Aligned Surface RevWorks creates a point-aligned surface from a set of digitized 3D points. The point -aligned surfaces are square surface patches aligned to the vector created from the first two digitized points. These surfaces ...
Creating Surfaces - Creating an Axis-Aligned Surface
Creating an Axis-Aligned Surface RevWorks creates an axis-aligned surface from a set of digitized 3D points. The axis-aligned surfaces are square surface patches with edges aligned to an axis of the SOLIDWORKS model space. These surfaces are ...
Creating Surfaces
Creating Surfaces RevWorks creates surfaces that are added to the SOLIDWORKS feature tree as independent items. The surfaces are seen by SOLIDWORKS as imported surface definitions. With RevWorks you can also create parametric surfaces. The surfaces ...
About Surfaces
About Surfaces A surface is a free form feature often utilized in complex parts. To date, creating surfaces inside of SOLIDWORKS has required the elaborate creation of sketch profiles and creation of a surface feature body as a separate step. ...
