Modelling a Nose Cone/Domed Surface in Solidworks. Part 2

This is an updated version of a much earlier tutorial, where I cover a technique that can be used to create nose cones/domes or to cap off a cylindrical form smoothly. This technique uses boundary surfaces and trims, so only 4 sided surfaces are used. One of the reasons for using this technique is to avoid using two-sided surfaces, where the other two sides/edges are collapsed into a singularity or degenerate edge.

Nice update and thanks for the original video which I reverse engineered for my studies with Alias earlier this year

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

Good stuff, did it go ok in Alias?

[@davidpinnington213]

Yes thanks at the time I was getting my head around problems like wing tips nose cones in my case I’d roughed out a Boeing type nose working through pointy objects and 4 sides patches - will be turning my attention to SW in 24 time permitting

[@IDteardown]

Thank you again for sharing that knowledge !

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

All good!

Always my go to for Solid works surfacing advice! I was wondering how you might attack a Logitech MX master mouse, I know design partners did a lot of the work for it and was curious what software they might have used when working on it. Cheers for the great videos

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

Hi Ollie, not sure how I'd approach that mouse off the top of my head. DesignPartners (now PA Consulting Ireland) did use Creo but I know they also use SW as well but suspect Logitech is still Creo. Thanks for watching!

Hi Andrew, such a great surfacing content in sw.
Many thanks for sharing

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

All good Vincent.

Thank you 👍

Can you try modelling the apple magic mouse?

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

That's in my 'product forms' playlist. Modelled it a few years ago.

Also modelled it in Rhino, there's an over view in my Rhino playlist.
