How to make a smooth surface without using "Convert Primitive" and "Fill Hole" so I can use OPTFEKO pick the optimized values

Wayne K

I am able to get a smooth surface using the direction at https://community.altair.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=7c941d99dbfa3c10cfd5f6a4e2961923&view_source=searchResult. However, when you convert the lines to primitive, you are unable to make adjustments to the input values and the model adjusted to the new values. The values I would like to optimize are D, d1, Bez_Ang_pnt,  Bez_Ang_side,  Bez_Ang_Tang, Bez_Bot_pnt,  Bez_Bot_side,  Bez_Bot_Tang.  The L_W_R__D_d1_6B_input_V2_Bad_Loft.cfx is my attempts to loft, which all failed. The L_W_R__D_d1_6B_input_V2_Fill_hole.cfx is the Fill hole file. I need to know how to make a smooth surface like the one I get when I do a "fill hole" and adjust the values to run OPTFEKO. Will I have to use another Altair product to make this work?

The current fill hole tool in CADFEKO is more for CAD fixing, not for design. What you are looking for is a parametric fill hole tool. This feature is not currently scheduled for development.

It may be a good idea to post your question on the general Altair products forum here.

Include a general non-product-specific description.
