Creating a spined fillet with drives

In this task you will use the Spined Fillet command to create a fillet between two surfaces along a spine curve and two drive curves.
Please note that you can accomplish this task by loading file "spinedfillet.e3".



1 Start the Spined Fillet command.
 
2 In the Type drop-down list select With drives.
When this type is selected, no radius is to be specified — as it will automatically be determined by the construction constraints, but two drive curve chains: one on surfaces of Group A ( Drive 1 Curves) and one on surfaces of Group B ( Drive 2 Curves). The resulting fillet will join the two surfaces through the two drive chains, along which it will also establish tangency continuity.
 
3 Select the first surface (Group A).



Right-click and select Continue to end selection for the first group of surfaces.
 
4 Select the second surface (Group B).



Right-click and select Continue to end selection for the second group of surfaces.
 
5 Select the spine curve.


 
6 Click Drive 1 Curves in the Selection List and select the first drive curve on surfaces of Group A


 
7 Click Drive 2 Curves in the Selection List and select the second drive curve on surfaces of Group B


 
8 Click or to confirm your selections and create the fillet:
