High_Degree_Surface

This check verifies whether the polynomial degree of a curve segment exceeds the value specified. If so, the elements are considered as incorrect.

Note: A check on last modifications is available for this check.

Context

The polynomial degree of a curve segment corresponds to the number of degrees of freedom (DOF) of the curve. A high polynominal degree can generate waviness on the surface and make the modification of the segments more complex.

Complex surface elements need to be approximated to reduce the degree. This can result in major geometrical deviations or discontinuities.

High-degree curves and surfaces can cause potential issues when exporting the model and using it in another system.

You can divide complex surface elements using separate surfaces with a lower polynomial degree, and according to their curvature.
