@@EasyCADSolutions After revisiting the model I've noticed some imperfections. In your file, they are also present. It becomes noticeable after step called "CirPattern3".

One thing you could do is make an icosahedron and put a plane on one of the surfaces of the icosahedron. Sketch on that plane, a hexagonal tessellation, then project the vertices onto a sphere. Connect the vertices and then fill the surfaces, pattern using icosahedral symmetry. I'll probably make a video of how to do it.
Thank you for your video, which is very helpful to me. Is there any way to make this ball contain more honeycomb structure, because I have tried to change the parameters inside, but the result is not satisfactory。
Don't use surface cut command to cut inside portion and then perform split with all the curved surfaces and then follow the same and after making the pattern entity combine then together with the inside portions
Hi, thank you for making this tutorial. I learned a lot. I run a channel on Fusion 360. Would you mind if I replicate this design using Fusion 360 for my channel? I will certainly credit you in my video. If you are not keen on this, I would understand. Please let me know.
@@EasyCADSolutions Hi, appreciate your generosity. I will definitely link to your video. I have tried this a few times in Fusion 360, carefully following each step. However, the split at 9:33 does not split the body symmetrically. This caused weird corners during patterning. Looking at the center hexagon, it does not seem to be symmetrical at the start. Not sure what I did wrong.
Necesito hacer un domo con estructura metálica y los hexágonos que no sean con radio ya que podria hacerlos, tiene que ir en plano tangentes al radio del domo, El radio de es 2,5 metros y de base 5 metros
You need atleast two different shapes to create a uniform pattern on sphere or you can use hexagons but unfortunately it needs irregular hexagons of different sizes to cover the hole sphere, So practically it is possible but in Solidworks it's a very tough job
@@EasyCADSolutions so , means we can not create equally distributed and equal in size hexagon on spherical shape ? This is impossible shape ? or just impossible in solidworks?
@@mechanicaldesignengineers You could try to model it on Blender, is not a CAD software but you can export the model to Solidworks and then draw over it.
Not good. The shape of the cell is cell is highly coupled to the shape of the object. It would be better to create a process that makes hexagons on an arbitrary surface and build from that. Not sure if it can be done in SW though. I can do it in Houdini with a few nodes.
if i want to make a model of another radius , how can i find the size of the hexagon . I mean how can i find the relation between the size of the hexagon and the radius of the model ? anyone help me please
Wow! That took some thinking to figure it out! Nice!
Thank you 😇
Very well done sir. This helped me a lot. I would not have figured this out by myself. At least not for a month. Thank you.
Welcome 🙏
And, Thanks for watching the tutorial 🙏
Nice work !
Thank you 😇
Perfect thank you
Welcome 😇
Nice
and big Thanks from Germany :)
Thanks 😊
Amazing, keep going 👍👍
Thank you 😇, And please share my videos with others who are interested in CAD Modeling
VERY COOL!!
Thank you ☺️
You are really genius sir I got fan... Hats off 🤗😍🙌
Thank you 😇
great job 👍
Thank you 🙏
Bravo
Thanks 😇
Incredible
Thanks for watching 😊
Keep Learning 🤗
well, thats enough solidworks for the day....
🙏
I guess I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Aries Nathaniel i watch on Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Elliott Josiah yea, been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
@Elliott Josiah Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!
cool!
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, I wil make in my future videos
Happy Modelling 😊
👏👏👏👏
Thanks 😇
How would one "fill in" this sphere after completion? So, that its not hollow.
Don't use surface cut command to cut inside portion and then perform split with all the curved surfaces and then follow the same and after making the pattern entity combine then together with the inside portions
Wow
Thanks 🙏

Yes, you can replicate it
And just add the link of my video in your discription box
Happy Modelling🤗

Are are talking about Geodesic Dome?

To have a golf ball with honeycomb shape, should i just use hexagon on sphere??
You need atleast two different shapes to create a uniform pattern on sphere or you can use hexagons but unfortunately it needs irregular hexagons of different sizes to cover the hole sphere, So practically it is possible but in Solidworks it's a very tough job

@@mechanicaldesignengineers You could try to model it on Blender, is not a CAD software but you can export the model to Solidworks and then draw over it.
@@mechanicaldesignengineers A symmetrical tessellation of a sphere always has 12 regular Pentagon's and a minimum of 20 regular hexagons.

But I have given the idea to do it on a spherical surface.. Because it is a bit tricky to make such kind of patterns on sphere in Solidworks
if i want to make a model of another radius , how can i find the size of the hexagon . I mean how can i find the relation between the size of the hexagon and the radius of the model ? anyone help me please
You can decide the radius and accordingly you will get the size of hexagon
I made this with NX
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
My brain smells funny now...
Really, But Why?
What is your point here :)
Here my point is to teach the implementation on sw commands to make complex patterns on spherical geometry
@@EasyCADSolutions you are awesome man, I just meant you used lots of point in this tutorial, keep posting videos :)
you always uses a different approach in your work
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
