Sheet Metal iFeature on Contoured Face

[jchaisson2H9RZ]

Team Inventor, 

i am trying to create an iFeature what seems to be straight forward and not complex is giving me quite a fight. we manufacture thin wall tanks and 10ga and below we swage the nozzle opening for strength. On a flat head this was a walk in the park to create the iFeature. the iFeature fails and the error is with the fillets, and I can't figure it out to actually place. I'm attaching the sheet metal part to see if any iFeature guru out there can solve this one. 

The IPT is Inventor 2025

thanks, Jeremy

Hi @jchaisson2H9RZ , 

I ran a couple of tests with this and I managed to make it work, you can still add a bit more to it to be able to place it precisely . 

Hope this helps

Best

Ali, 

Can you attach the IPT file so I can see your thought process because it's not placing for me.

Thanks,

Sorry my first reply was to myself not sure if it tagged you.

I used your Sell ipt to place it, do you want to call me, so that we can share screen and I show you how? I am in EST time zone (Toronto, Canada)

Ali, 

Thank you for your help with this. if anyone else has questions you can message me. the Termination face in the iFeature is the inside wall.
