In ANSYS, when you revolve or extrude a mesh, it does the revolution and extrusion, and in addition of the mesh, it generates a volume with surfaces too. However, when I revolve or extrude a mesh in I-DEAS, it just generates the mesh and there is no volume and surfaces generated coresponding with this mesh. This makes the loading and boundary condition difficult.
My question is: Do you know a way in I-DEAS that when you revolve or extrude a mesh, it generates the coresponding volume and surfaces too.
The sweep option does not help because you can not sweet the source and target surfaces in the way you like, even if you use anchor nodes.
I appreciate your prompt responses.

regards
