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.

You mean just a cyclinder, domed on each end?

If so, I would probably start with the cylinder, put the two spheres on and union them.

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

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.

Not with plain vanilla AutoCAD, but if a *surface* will suffice try the RULESURF command. ___

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. regards Jochen
