fillets

[Anonymous]

might sound simple but how do i make a fillet?  i have to parts,a rod and a flange that i made into an assembly.  i now made a new part by deriving that assembly.  the derived part will be the drawing of those two parts "friction welded" together.  after being friction welded there will be what looks a weld.  it's actually not weld since now the two parts have become one solid part.  the metal that "oozed" out will have to be machined off.  i have made a revolve cut to remove some material on the rod now i need to add a fillet between the "two parts" that are now one.

im sure it's simple i just dont know how to do it.

Can you share your parts and assy?

If you are looking to make a fillet weld, you will need to convert your assembly into a weldment.

The fillet command should be in your 3d modeling toolbar.

I have converted many assemblies into weldments. What I don't know and never thought about until now, when you turn an assembly into a weldment does it consider, turn it into basically one part? I'll give it a try and see.

No, It is still an assembly regardless.

It just enables you to place actual fillet welds.

I'm not welding, it's being friction welded...

Attach your derived part here (or a dummy that exhibits the same behavior) and end all doubt.

When you Derived - did you set it to single body?

No, did not set anything to single body. Not sure how.
I did a "save as" and saved it to my desktop. Here it is

i just logged back into the forum and saw your post here. i was responding and reading my emails.  i made another derived part and found the icon for "single part".  it worked!  

THANKS!
