Curve Smooth lets you smooth a curve, i. e.
fill the gaps, and smooth tangency and curvature discontinuities.
Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing a curve that needs to be smoothed.
In the Curve to Smooth box, select the curve to be smoothed.
Important:
You cannot select a sub-element as curve to be smoothed.
You can select several input curves. In this case:
The options on the Parameter and Extremitiestabs are applied to all input curves.
On the Freezetab, you cannot select
sub-elements to be excluded from the smoothing operation.
Previously selected sub-elements will be removed from the
list when adding further input curves to a single
selection.
If a support surface is selected, it must contain all input
curves. Topology simplification will
be applied to all input curves.
On the curve are displayed texts indicating its discontinuities before smoothing and the type of discontinuity (point, curvature, or tangency) and their values.
Click Preview to display the curve discontinuities that
are still present after the smoothing operation, and whether they are within or
outside the threshold values (yellow or red flag).
Click the Freezetab and select sub-elements of the curve that
should not be smoothed.
Important:
External elements cannot be selected as sub-elements.
Freeze is not supported in case of
multi-selection.
Click the Extremitiestab and define the continuity conditions at
each curve's extremity.
Click the Visualizationtab to define the way the messages are
displayed on the smoothed element.
