fault finding split body

charlieuk — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 10:09:20 GMT

having issues splitting this body, it was a little tricky making the splitting surface but I think i sorted that however im still struggling to split the body. i have tried multiple methods splitting it different bits separately and it seams like it is the front leading edge surface that is at fault but can not see or figure why.

if anyone could take a quick look the link is here

First step is to correct all warnings and errors - look for yellow and red in the timeline.

Warnings and errors will cause many problems, if ignored - so deal with them immediately, when encountered. Roll back your history marker to the point of error, edit or redo the problematic feature, and only proceed when it is working.

This Remanent surface anomaly will be part of the problem.

May get more time in the morning.

You can make a sketch on the side of the body to split and project the trailing edge of the wing and then use the sketch line to cut the body.

Hi dave many thanks i hadn't spotted that! Its obviously were i used the sweep on the leading edge and it went all the way to the original trailing edge point rather than were the trailing edge has been squared off. Im not sure why i cant project a new out line of the main body to give me a new leading edge to sweep to?

unfortunately the shape of the airfoil does not allow this method.

Wow i surprised myself and managed to fix it! all i needed to do was change the main loft to show tangent with edges which allowed me to do the sweep using the lofted edge! so annoyingly simple and wasted so much time trying to figure it out oh well!

That’s good news, you learn so much from fixing your own file problems,

when you know it can be done, just got find the right combo.
