If you look at the curvature of the original curve you created in the
Profile generatorfeature you'l see it is not optimal for smooth surface creation. Since this curve is the basis for all subsequent features, you will face difficulties.I have found that using two splines: one for the top surface, one for the lower surface is a good idea. The
Profile generatoroffers this as an option, however the curvature of the resulting splines is still not create (since it is still using a fit spline on "noisy" data under the covers of that custom feature )Last year I helped Holbrook Aerospace create a new Custom feature that tries to address this - HAVF Profile
Alternatively you can use an
Edit curvefeature after the currentProfile generatorand do some reapproximation of the sketch, before it is used in the extrude and other features.
