[Ja...] Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Looking for ideas on how to measure the .972 diameter (balloon number 15) in the attached drawing which is the intersection of two torus. I've tried using circles/arcs but results are sporadic and I don't have much faith in the finding when I do get a result.Capture.PNG Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19358-torus-torus-intersection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Looks like you might be able to intersect a nominal plane at .189 with the model from that top surface. Then you can create a 2d curve from wireframe, recall the curve points into a circle feature. Most of the models I see will have a wire at each intersection ready to use, so no intersecting planes at all.

[Ja...] Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'll have to check with engineering to see if a fixed plane location would be acceptable. They just might go for it. Thanks.

[Cl...] Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 It wouldn't necessarily need to be "fixed" @ .189 only. You could calculate the intersects +/- from .189 to get the min & max for that diameter. Solidworks should be able to give you those two heights.

[Br...] Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 You can try using a kink point in a bunch of locations and constructing the kink points into a circle.

[Cl...] Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 They work well. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19358-torus-torus-intersection/#findComment-108926 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should tell them to change this to a profile of Surface tolerance and get rid of all those theoretical intersection ± tolerances.
