    Swept Y (laminar ducting)

    I am trying to design inlet ducts for a small RC jet I'd like to start building in about a year. They will look like a Y basically, 2 inlets 1 outlet. The cross sections will be practically circular at the inlet and outlet. My trouble is the area where the left and right inlets merge into the...

    Fillet Hilite (face for hilite)

    With fillet hilite from what I gather, the hilite is just a surface made with 2 curves to which the center portion of the conic is made tangent. I also assume that this surface is just made simply by bridging the gap directy between those curves, and does not have any "3D" surfacing (curved...

    How to Array a Swept

    When trying to array a swept feature it wont allow it. When looking at the list the feature isnt even there. The only way I have found so far to do this is to delete its parameters and then array it, but the part needs to be edited easily. I have been using insert>free form feature> Swept. I...

    Different Curve and Surface types

    I have a question some of you probably know, yet after looking all over for answers I have come up short. What is the difference between Cubic and Quintic curve fit methods? What is the difference between plane and B-surface Free Form Construction Result, and also the Polynomial Cubic Surface? I...
