creat solid from surfaces error

[kkominiarek]

I'm trying to create what I feel is a simple solid from surfaces....but I rec. the following errors.

 

Parasolid kernal interface error

KI error code:1043-

tolerance is less than parasolid tolerance

 

Parasolid kernal interface error

KI error code:15-

distance or zero is negative

 

The errors are where flat surfaces meet at 90° walls/intersections.

 

Any ideas???

I worked around it....not solve errors.....but

I created slight draft at corners and solid was built.

 

This is a PITA however as there will times when I won't be able to alter my geometry. What will I do then?

I personally try to avoid creating solids from surfaces. I get either errors or open edges often. If possible, try to get a parasolid (.xt) or other solid based file to convert from your customer. It's more predictable to create surfaces from a solid if necessary.

 

What did you use for a tolerance when trying to "stitch" the solid ?

[kkominiarek]

I'm not sure what the standard stitch tol. should be set at. So in instances like this one I experiment to see if the results are any better after adjusting tol......I tried .0001, .0005, .001, .002, .003, .004, .005

 

none worked

 

I am creating a part solid from scratch...trying to do a boolean remove for this one particular feature.
