Examples: Connect Cross-Sections

3-D FFS > From c-edges > Connect cross-sections

Example 1:

The displayed model was created by placing 1 cross-section on 2 guidelines. These cross-sections were connected with each other by means of interpolation.

Original model

 

Interpolation without connection constraints

Interpolation with connection constraints

Start/End: perpendicular
Process tangent
Start: 20
End: 50

Shaded representation

Example 2:

Here, 3 circular cross-sections were connected with each other. The following connection constraints were defined:

  1. Connection constraints at start and end: Perpendicular to cross-section
  2. Process tangents (automatic)

(1) Start cross-section, (2) Intermediate cross-section, (3) End cross-section
