edit.
your blend do not go?
Here's a little trick.
Most often it is because there is a [COLOR="Red"]"situation of non tangency"[/COLOR] of contact on the edges. :)

Just some points.
1/ try drawing the 2d profile correctly.
2/ If there is a gap, then Acis should report it, such as "Gaps detected", "Stitching failed" or "Bad profile" (there are plenty of error messages to choose from)
3/ If the solid is produced, then the profile must of been automatically closed, so how can there still be a gap.
4/ I would of actually reported this as a bug for incorrectly created solid.
Just my 2 cents.

hello, this is not an opening in my profile, but a tangency absence. My example will explain not a bug .... but a common case modeling, and is not a modeling error. Antoine

A "break of contact" would describe a gap.

"Common case"? You would need to show how you created the 2d curves.
Even if I create a 2d profile similar to yours and make one of the line/circle connection non-tangent, the blend can still be created without extra editing.

On your video, the blend failed with error. To correct that you changed the tangency of the profile of the solid. So at best, the output solid profile is now incorrect to the 2d drawing.
Here is a quick example of adding a blend to a solid that has a non-tangent profile. Very easy, just select the face instead of the edge.

it's a good question.
In the case of a design process design is not necessarily vital.
but thank you for your demo

Looks like you just need to explore the options in VC/Shark more. There are a number of workarounds needed in VC/shark, however, looking for workarounds for functions that work, well, that is not something I do. Regards, - Steve
