Creating fillets for surface bodies in SolidWorks is crucial for several reasons. It ensures smooth transitions between surfaces, which is essential for both aesthetics and aerodynamics.
To create a fillet from surface bodies in SolidWorks, you need to have two separate surface bodies to start with.
- Activate the Fillet PropertyManager and select the Face Fillet option.
- Select the two faces ensuring the correct direction is chosen.
- If you choose the “Trim and Attach” option, the result will be a merged surface body.
- If you choose the “Don’t Trim and Attach” option, the result will be two separate surface bodies.
- The results for each option are shown below accordingly.
