Solid question

I want to create a solid between thoses two circles :

C1 center x : 50 y : 0 z: 0
raduis : 50

C2 center x : 200 y : 0 z: 100
raduis : 200

Any idea how to obtain it ?
(kind of an ellipsoidal cone ?)


Thanks
Denis

 

TomD a ecrit :

It's kind of a troncated cone, but usually circle centers are on the cone
axis.
Here, the line between circle centers is not perpendicular to C1 or C2.
(C1 and C2 are coplanar).
I can create the surface with RULEDSURF between the 2 circles, but I need
to create a solid, not a surface.

Thanks

 

I have autocad 2000.

why ?

what's MDT

 

Which program do you want to use? It's not possible in the plain
AutoCAD, but no problem in MDT

Juergen

 

Because it is not designed to create such solids.

Mechanical Desktop.
There are also a lot of other 3D-Solid-Modelers which can do that
(Inventor, SolidWorks, Rhino(?), ...), but not the plain AutoCAD.

 

Because AutoCAD is pretty lame for solid modeling.

 

I wrote a LISP to create SURFACE and SOLID models of eccentric
round-to-round and square-to-round reducers.
Your problem is one of that. You will get your SOLID by email soon.
