Moldflow eze (cool but limited) was discontinued in Solidworks 2008, and Autodesk just finished the purchase of Moldflow. I can't speak for Solidworks 2008 for surfaces, but I would suspect that it still is not where it should be (based on comments from users of both Solidworks and Pro/e on Pro/e forum).

I take it back .. they are rubbish results

Not yet, but I understand what's going wrong and need to set aside a couple of days to fix. It's definitely got my attention.

Any news on a fix for the match surface problem?



- Steve

Certainly does, I still wonder where 1976 went to :D.

heres some results before and after installing the latest build - this is a sweep open profile with two sides , I have played with infinite surfaces that cut the sweep surface to enable use of matching splines ( still annoying need to then reverse !!!). This is to create some surface smoothness ( continuity ) between the sweep outer profile and the inner surface created as a cover surf with guides -
Enclosed are my best attemtps before and after

Dare I suggest the g1 continuity is better - has some work been done ??

thats a shame !!, just to liven this thread up again , surely using splines , to generate surfaces , and then stitching them into clean solids , is the engine room of the work for many users - I spend way to much time trying to either get surfaces to match , or getting surfaces to stitch . Jolyon has showed me some of the vital tricks - and i typically try lots of options (tools ) depending on the form. Please someone reassure me this is being working on .:confused:

Steve,
If you can keep posting specific files that would be great. I have a folder of examples that I am updating the algorithm from.

Tim.

Well. I have been checking, and I have yet to find where I can actually successfully have a surface match (G1 or G2) that is actually correct to the surfaces I need such a match.

I did re-check my bug reports to the bug tracker and my example posted there is still an "Open" bug.

I will ask that you post an example of a G2 surface match that actually is correct. I would specifically like to see one that is similar to the one shown in the user manual (and was at one time shown on the website,... which as now been changed,... I wonder why :rolleyes:)

Awaiting your reply with such an example, if not forthcoming, then I will know that this function as never actually worked, (as I have thought (and posted) before.)
