An error occurred while executing the shell function

Friends, help solve the problem, I made a wing, but I can't cut out the body to try to finish it from the inside, an error keeps appearing, I don't know how to get rid of it.
Also, when the shell is cut out, the process freezes and you have to wait a long time for the computer's response, despite the fact that it hardly uses the physical resources of the equipment.
I would also be very grateful if you could indicate how to add ailerons to the current project.

Many thanks!

Hi! I don't think Inventor has a good workflow to tackle such geometry. The issue here is that the wing profiles have too much unnecessary detail, making the geometry overly complicated.

I guess you got it from a mesh and you are trying to recreate it. I suggest you look into Mesh Design environment in Fusion 360, which helps you convert the mesh to Brep solid body. And, you can shell it there too.

Many thanks!

In the inverter, I can make a mesh into a solid body? I don’t want to install fusion 360 for the sake of wings alone
Many thanks!

Hi! The issue is not about converting mesh to a solid body. You can do that in Inventor with a subscription add-in (Mesh Enabler). The problem is such geometry has way too much detail not essential to dimensioning. You will run into modeling issue sooner or later.

The reason why I think Fusion 360 could help here is that it has a dedicated Mesh Design environment, which Inventor does not have. There you can directly operate on the mesh instead of going back and forth between mesh and body. You may convert the mesh to T-Spline so that the faces will be smooth. Here are a few related videos to watch.

Thank you, I will try fusion 360, In Inventor i took the geometry from the NACA website, imported the CV file, changed the dimensions at a distance. but encountered filling problems when building the model. I see that fusion is too similar to the inventor, so there will be no problems starting in it.

Many thanks!
