Drawing Curvature in a Simple Geometry

HWilliams79 · January 22, 2022, 18:59

I am attempting to draw a simple geometry in STAR CCM+ which I have shown in the attached file (since the geometry is relatively simple I am trying to do it directly in STAR CCM+ without using CAD software).

On the left-hand side I am able to draw the circle at the end of the box but I need this curved part that you see (pointing to it with a red arrow).

This curvature is just due to the extrusion process which is used to make the device. The inside of the device is a hollow box but I have drawn the way that the wall curves down towards the floor of the box.

You could extrude the sketch in the "right" direction (as direction from one green surface towards another).

Or you also could make a box and fillet the corners.
