Hi all,

 

Can you suggest me what is the fastest way to offset a solid face in Hypermesh?

In the picture attached I want to reduce the shank diameter for example.

    One method:

    • Extract surfaces from solid.
    • Make offset for wanted surfaces
    • Build closed surfaces
    • Create new solid from closed surfaces

    Hi Q.Nguyen, 

     

    Thank you for the answer. So it is not possible to offset a face without extracting it from a solid right?

    Maybe that works too. Try it.
