Filleting Intersection Edges

You can fillet edges corresponding to the intersections between the features of your choice.

Whatever option you choose, keep in mind that you fillet features, not bodies. In case you need to fillet bodies, first perform a boolean operation as explained in the Part Design User's Guide: Associating Bodies.

This task shows you how to:

Intersection with Current Solid

You can fillet all the edges produced by the intersection of the faces of the selected objects and the rest of the faces of the solid functional set.

  1. Click Edge Fillet .

    The Edge Fillet Definition dialog box appears.

  2. Set Intersection with Current Solid in the Propagation box.

  3. Select Shellable Prism Cylindrical as the feature which intersection with the current solid is to be filleted.

    Shellable Prism Cylindrical is displayed in the Objects to fillet box and the geometry area.

  4. Click OK.

    The edges of the intersection between Shellable Prism Cylindrical and the current solid are filleted.

Intersection with Selected Features

You can fillet all the edges produced by the intersection of the faces from the objects selected and the faces of the features you explicitly select.

  1. Click Edge Fillet .

    The Edge Fillet Definition dialog box appears.

  2. Set Intersection with Selected Features in the Propagation box.

  3. Select Shellable Prism Cylindrical as the feature which intersection with the features you want to be filleted.

    Once Intersection with Selected Features is on, the Selected Features box appears to let you select the features you want to interact with the object to fillet.

  4. Click the Selected features box and select Shellable Prism.2.

    Shellable Prism Cylindrical is displayed in the Objects to fillet box and the geometry area.



  5. Click OK.

    The edges corresponding to the intersection of Shellable Prism Cylindrical with Shellable Prism.2 are filleted.

  6. Double-click EdgeFillet.1 in the specification tree to edit the specifications: click the Selected Features box and select Shellable Prism.1.

  7. Click OK.

    Additional intersection edges are filleted:

Intersection with Core

You can fillet all the intersection edges between the faces from the objects selected in Features to fillet and the faces from the core (internal shape) of the solid.

  1. Click Edge Fillet .

    The Edge Fillet Definition dialog box appears.

  2. Set Intersection with Core in the Propagation box.

  3. Select Added Prism.2 as the feature which intersection with the core is to be filleted. In this mode, a new multi selector appears to select the features which interact with the object to fillet. Added Prism.2 is displayed in the Objects to fillet box and the geometry area.



  4. Click OK.

    The edges corresponding to the intersection of Added Prism.2 with the core of the body are filleted.

Intersection with Cavity

You can fillet all the intersection edges between the faces from the objects selected in Features to fillet and the faces from the cavity (external shape) of the solid.

  1. Click Edge Fillet .

    The Edge Fillet Definition dialog box appears.

  2. Set Intersection with Cavity in the Propagation box.

  3. Select Added Prism.2 as the feature which intersection with the cavity is to be filleted. In this mode, a new multi selector appears to select the features which interact with the object to fillet.

    Added Prism.2 is displayed in the Objects to fillet box and the geometry area.

  4. Click OK.

    The edges corresponding to the intersection of Added Prism.2 with the cavity of the body are filleted.
