matt4 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Hi, I am having a issue with fillet radius or something of that sort. The first image is what my drawing should look like. The second is what mine looks like. The area circled is the problem area. As you can see it appears the fillet radius is too large. However on my engineering drawing it shows only one dimension showing the outer radius to be 6 (nothing for inner radius's). Which mine is correctly set at for all three fillets. Am I assuming the dimensions correctly for the inner fillets? Any suggestions to whats going wrong here? Thanks, Quote
CarlB Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Without seeing the criteria we have no way to know. My guess is the inner arc is concentric with the outer arc, so its radius is 6 minus the separation (offset). Which eyeballs to an inner radius about 2 or 3. Quote
matt4 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Posted April 7, 2009 I would scan the drawing but my scanner is 60 miles away at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion that the inner arc maybe concentric though. Quote
skipsophrenic Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Matt, is this that practice drawing towards the end of the 4353 course? Quote
JD Mather Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 It appears that the inside radius (the smaller one) is a shell thickness (outside radius - shell thickness). Therefore if you were given a shell thickness the smaller radius does not need to be explicitely given. When in doubt always do a 3D model. Quote
AVITWeb Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Did you simply offset that curve or did you use fillet? Quote
Tankman Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Looks like you have the same radius on ALL. Radius needs to be adjusted; i.e.: large, smaller, smallest. They, the radii, need to be adjusted accordingly. Quote
mugshot Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 maybe you should convert the inner line to be a polyline, radius and then offset so that you will ave an equal distance curve. Quote
