public class CATDynFillet
Class defining the operator to fillet edges or faces of a 3D body or a skin body.
Several filleting operations (called ribbons) can be defined in the same operator. A ribbon
is either defined between two faces (CATDynFaceFaceFilletRibbon), or along an edge
(CATDynEdgeFilletRibbon), or between three faces (CATDynRemoveFaceFilletRibbon)
without specifying the radius (tri-tangent fillet).
By default, a ribbon is automatically propagated by following the tangential
continuity of its support, but this propagation can be switched off.
A fillet is roughly generated by rolling a ball tangently to the two faces adjacent to the edge to be filleted.
By doing this, the fillet creation is disrupted if the ball reaches the limits of the adjacent faces prior to
reaching the edge extremity. This happens especially when the shape around the edge to be filleted shows
accute angles. The fillet surface is then extrapolated in order to complete the fillet operation
up to the edge extremity. This extrapolation defines the maximum limits of the surface underlying the
fillet. Updating a fillet can possibly modify these maximum limits. But undoing an operation in CATIA does not modify
the previous computed maximum limits.
The CATDynFillet operator follows the global frame of the topological operators and satisfies the smart mechanism:
the input bodies are not modified. A new resulting body is created,
possibly sharing data with the input bodies.
- A CATDynFillet operator is created with the CATCreateDynFillet global function:
It must be directly deleted with the usual C++ delete operator after use. It is not streamable.
- Options must be precised (such as the faces or edges to fillet) with the appropriate methods, before
asking for the computation with the Run method.
- In both cases, the result is accessed with the GetResult method. If you do not want
to keep the resulting body, use the CATICGMContainer.Remove method to remove it from the geometric factory.

Methods
o Append
-
Appends a ribbon along an edge.
- Parameters:
-
- iRibbonToAppend
- The pointer to the ribbon to add to this operator.
o Append
-
Appends a ribbon between two faces.
The face-face ribbon can be only used in a single ribbon filleting operation.
- Parameters:
-
- iRibbonToAppend
- The pointer to the ribbon to add to this operator.
o Append
-
Appends a tri-tangent ribbon.
The tri-tangent ribbon can be only used in a single ribbon filleting operation.
- Parameters:
-
- iRibbonToRemove
- The pointer to the ribbon to add to this operator.
o SetHelpPoint
-
When several ribbons are possible in a FaceFace Fillet,
use a Help Point to choose the edge where the ribbon must be computed.
o SetPrevisualizationOnly
public virtual void SetPrevisualizationOnly( | ) |
-
Asks for the computation of the construction paths of the fillet, even though the filleting operation
cannot be completely run.
To use in debug purpose, in order to understand the configuration.
o SetTrueMultiRibbonOnly
public virtual void SetTrueMultiRibbonOnly( | ) |
-
Defines the type of computation in case of multi ribbons configurations.
By default, the Run method compute all the ribbons and then intersect them
together. Moreover, if this computation failed, another computation is launched, taken one ribbon
after the other.
If called, this method only allows the Run method to execute the first step.
