What is the benefit of using the "Fillet" command in Solid Edge?

Using the "Fillet" command in Solid Edge primarily serves to smooth edges between two intersecting surfaces or lines. The fillet rounds off the sharp edge, creating a more gradual transition and visually appealing contour. This can enhance the overall aesthetics of a design, improve safety by eliminating sharp corners that could cause injury, and reduce stress concentration in a part, which can lead to better performance under load.

In many engineering and manufacturing applications, having smoothed edges also facilitates the manufacturing process, such as in casting or machining operations, as it can help avoid issues such as chipping or cracking that may arise from sharp corners. Thus, selecting the fillet option allows for effective design modifications that improve both functionality and manufacturability.
