Loft Volume not created as desired

Hi,

I have two volumes and I want to connect two surfaces with a loft volume but the results is not what I expected (a simple cylinder).

Here what Cubit does :

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

Here the Cubit file

Thanks !

when you take a look at the attempted lofted volume in the preview, you will see that the topology is different for the surfaces. the vertices of the curves are not opposing for the surfaces. that’s why this doesn’t work.

as the surfaces have the same size and the curves have the same radius a quick fix would be to imprint the volumes and create the loft afterwards.

move Surface 735  location surface 695  include_merged 
imprint vol all
move Surface 735 x -53.5 include_merged 
create volume loft surface 695 735

Ah I see… Nice solution !

Thank you !
