Non_Tangent_Curve_Segments

This check verifies whether the transitions between the segments of a curve are tangent-continuous. If not, the curve is considered as incorrect.

This page discusses:

Context

A tangent continuity corresponds to a transition between two curve segments with no change in the tangential angle.

Tangent discontinuities can be visible and felt on the resulting product.

Note: Normal discontinuities can be used intentionally to design chamfers, for example.

Check Information

Check Details Description
Applicable to: PartFeature
Automatic Solution:
Check Parameters:
  • Min_Angle_Deg: Angle type.

    Specifies the minimum value of the angle allowed between the tangents of adjacent curve segments. Above this value, a tangent discontinuity is considered as intended by design and not displayed as incorrect.

  • Max_Angle_Deg: Angle type.

    Specifies the maximum value of the angle allowed between the tangents of adjacent curve segments. Above this value, the transition between segments is considered as tangent-discontinuous.
