SC+SW+CATIA

This video is created to compared Complex Chamfer Results in different CAD softwares like SpaceClaim SolidWorks & CATIA

The results are finally compared in SpaceClaim 2009 with its new tools (Grid) to understand the smoothness in flow of chamfer (continuity in tangency of chamfered surfaces)

Finally I have derived that SpaceClaim gives the expected output
As for CATIA, the results are totally unexpected with simple Chamfer command
In case of SolidWorks, the results seems better than CATIA but during Tangency / surface smoothness check it fails.

so?

use SW2009 or NX 6

I had used SolidWorks (SW) 2009, sorry I didn't had NX or Pro-E, but if you have, then kindly try it and post me the model & video of it

@POORVESHMISTRY

OK so you just need the chamfer on that edge. OK i'll try it and post it, seems interesting.

see ya

[POORVESHMISTRY]

Buddy, check out the complexity of the model, when the chamfer is applied on an edge, it runs in a loop, due to curves and filleted edges. The chamfer achieved in such a case is not smooth.

Hey buddy I have the .step file can i send it to you?
