I would be very happy to send you the STL file of a blade if you wish, which you could try and push into the side of any random cone and create a fillet between the two.This topic is quite complex and difficult to realize properly, especially without very advanced commercial software. I am not sure what you mean when asking "could I post the parts" do you mean the file?. I can attempt to reduce the mesh if you think it is worth a try - but I am a complete beginner with Fusion!!!Ĭan I ask whether the end product will have lost resolution or detail by reducing the mesh - or is this just a tool to enable other processes to take place and the original detail can be recovered later down the line? I then tried to fillet the joint - and again it does nothing. For this reason I did not go on to try and reduce the mesh using the surfacing tools to reduce the mesh. Each blade consists of around 8000 mesh triangles so well below the 50,000 limit of Fusion. (After the conversion the colour of the mesh changes from a blue colour to a black/grey so I think the conversion takes place with no problem). Even when trying the command to "Mend Mesh errors" there were no errors reported, so I am very sure there are no problems with the blade being a valid, closed, solid object. I again have imported the mesh, converted it into a solid producing a Vrep file, as Fusion requests, with no errors. Since writing my first message above I have tried doing the same thing in Fusion (having never used it before). It would be a lot of work to redo this stuff - as I am not really a proficient programmer. My own software (the besepoke stuff) links all these ribs together as a closed surface containing triangular mesh elements, so the output becomes an STL file by calculating each triangle vertex set and surface normal etc. The propeller geometry is created from very involved aerodynamic calculations which output a whole prop blade as a just set of aerofoil ribs which change along the blade length.
The STL format is the only output data I can generate (easily). Is the stl format the only available data output from your "bespoke software"?Hi Bunny, Many thanks for your reply. Can you post the parts to look at? If not, and you have access to Fusion, it has tools that can reduce the number of surfaces. For the fillet to work, you would have to select each surface individually. Based solely on the screenshot, the foil appears tessellated, which is the norm when importing an stl.
